I’m not too sure about this one but if someone wants a copy I can send it (I removed all identifying information). I described most of my extracurricular activities and achievements in the personal statement.

Please don’t use abbreviations…what are NUS and NTU?

Where are you transferring from…and why?

National University of Singapore

and

Nanyang Technological University

Both are in Singapore, and among the top universities in the world.

@haxtq, this is primarily a U.S. based site. You will likely not get your answers here. Sorry.
