@Pea real sorry for the late reply. Have been caught up with a couple of examinations that I have to take this few weeks.

Re Redroses, I apologise if I seem to have ignored her comments. I already did acknowledge that she gave me great advice about the colleges that I am applying to and after which it became a flurry of statistics between RML and her.

Re financial aid, I am (according to my parents) able to afford the education without the aid, albeit at the expense of my younger sibling. I come from a family with 3 children, my older sibling is in a local university and my younger sibling is only in 7th grade. My parents have told me that they are able to afford my education, however, I know that they are only saying that to make me feel certain about my future education. I will need the financial aid in order to lessen the financial burden on my parents.

@Redroses my apologies if it seems that I ignored your advice and highlighted the rest. I sincerely thank you for the advice you have given me and will take that into account when I apply to all the colleges I have listed above.

@facebook thanks once again for the detailed comments on my list of achievements and the advice you have given. I’ll take into account the comments and edit that list accordingly. Will drop you a note if I do need anymore help. Re the ICho though, the selection pool of 20 was whittled down from an initial population of at least 400 students. The top 20 were chosen to attend a centralised training programme, after which the top 4 were selected to represent Singapore.

@ivycollege I have considered applying to those colleges but decided against it because I want to do something different with my further education. Computers are a side interest for me, just so happens that I was able to translate my interest into membership in a external school activity.

Thanks all once again. And my sincere apologies if I have offended anyone by my actions or inactions.

Regards,
