I didn't even send in my prelim grades to the schools I applied for (too ugly). They didn't seem to care for the most part.

Yeah I might do that, to get credits, although I'm also thinking that it would do me good to sort of re-learn all those Math/Science/Econs stuff which I've conveniently forgotten after A Levels..

My prelim grades were quite ugly too. That's why I almost panicked when I found out that we had to send in those as well.

My prelims were much worse than my CTs. Given that the US liked to see a trend of improvement, I didn't send both...thank god for NS. (*gets struck by lightening*)

Hmm, 100%Tuna, I finally realised the prestige of SIA scholarship over say, A*Star YRAP. You get to fly on SIA vs Vietnam Air or Air India. Hahaha *amused*

Lisieux - I'm J2. Lol. I wanna go MIT tho xd

CHEH... Lol, I thought SIA scholarship means you get to fly SIA home la. Now I recall, my Vietnamese friend did share that you only get sponsored flights once every two years. Geez...

Unfortunately no, why SIA when you can get cheaper ones?? Stingy Singaporeans, lol.. Yup it's only at the start and at the end of your scholarship tenure.
