<p>I am not too sure about psychology , but if i am not wrong it is only offered in TP? . But too not expect much exemption. </p>
<p>haha was GPA was below average for my cohort , spent more time at my business and hobbies instead. </p>
<p>Anyway as seen at your other thread, if your intention is to go to Stanford , i would recommend the JC route . As some schools would consider Poly grad as transfer student. Prefers you should drop a email inquiring. The only Stanford student i know from poly was from my alma matter </p>
<p>Spoken to him once , he is an exceptional student which i doubt could be replicated.
Personally i have chosen to study at Indiana bloomington , a fine school which i would recommend for your consideration.</p>
<p>and oh as seen from your other thread that i replied if your not from rgs the way you type and present yourself seems to be from scgs. Correct me i am wrong?</p>
<p>Pure psychology in TP, yes. However, in Ngee Ann there’s Psychology and Community Services, and that is where my interest lies so I hope to go there after Os. I guess i’ll focus more on my studies there as I have spent enough time in secondary school being involved in CCAs and such. Plus i’ve read up on psychology and am absolutely sure that this is the path i want to take so i’ll put in my best effort to do well!</p>
<p>Interesting choice thou , do email Stanford for more information. Stand out with more then just cca , if you read on successful Stanford admits , it about how rounded you are</p>
<p>so i guess your interest is clinical psychology? if yea do also read up on the local psychology association if you intend to practice here</p>
<p>Yeah I know. I actually took their summer writing course, but I think that doesn’t give me an advantage over others.
I like clinical psychology, but I don’t mind being in the lab either!</p>
<p>A ton of Singaporeans don’t realize this, but there’s a much easier way to enter the US College system than poly if you don’t have an A-Level cert.</p>
<p>Take me for example. My highest completed qualification in Singapore is just O-Levels, but come this Fall, I’m going to Goucher College where they’re giving me $8,500/year merit transfer scholarship.</p>
<p>Check out Center for American Education, cae.edu.sg They have a community college from Florida operating an overseas campus there, and they accept anyone with 5 O-Level passes, which really isn’t much at all. I spent two years there, got my credits with a decently-high GPA and with the help of US Embassy-related college admissions counsellors stationed there, they helped me through the application process (reviewing my cover letter, etc) I managed to have three decent schools accept my application (Ohio State University, Indiana University, Goucher College).</p>
<p>The teachers are decent - a good lot of them are direct imports from the US, and it’s a common destination for US expat kids to go to.</p>
<p>OSU Indiana both have many different campus which one accept you? IUB and IU south bend are miles apart.</p>
<p>Many decent tier 1 school accept O with SATS. I believe the issue with most Singaporean is that they do not know of this and they also would not want to go overseas with a lesser uni. Which i think is realistic , for your case Goucher college is just a ok LAC(correct me if i am wrong) . </p>
<p>Whats make you think it would be a choice for singaporean? where the local Us are strong and heck even course like SIM-manchester are available </p>
<p>Like for example Finepixalisation is looking toward Stanford , does CAE match this goal.</p>
<p>*edit
while generally :
The excellent are aiming for the standard HYP tier school
While the good are aiming for schools like Michigan-Ann , Minnesota -TC , UCLA , NYU , Washington-Seattle , IUB , Wisconsin-Madison , Purdue.</p>
<p>Which some does accept Os but many do not know that. Let assume you have a average O level say l1r5 25 points , is your CC going to help you that much? as a Singaporean?</p>
<p>finepixellations, Psychology at the undergraduate level in the U.S. is typically a liberal arts degree. This means that you may have to take about half your courses outside the psychology department in order to get your major approved. Stanford has requirements in humanities, rhetoric, math, science, social science etc. However, this is the fun of a liberal arts education.</p>
<p>If you plan to work as a psychologist, you will need a Ph.D. or Pys.D, which can take 5-7 yrs after your 4 yr liberal arts degree in psychology. This means that your total education will be 9-11 yrs and you will be 28 to 30 yrs old before you can practice. </p>
<p>A masters in psychology may allow you to work within industrial organizations and schools and is a shorter 2 years. If you only have a bachelors degree in psychology from a liberal arts college, you would be limited to an assistant to a psychologist or some form of administrative assistant within a psychology practice.</p>
<p>The average salary of a psychologist in the U.S. in 2008 was about $7K per month.</p>
<p>will my 730/790 mathII/chem hurt my chances to princeton? I know the ivies are a crapshoot, but SAT II’s-wise, is it advisable for me to retake them? really did expect to do alot better in math</p>
<p>most probably. i think almost everyone applying to hypsm have perfect SAT 2s if they present them. i think its really the ECs which differentiate who they accept and who they dont since EVERYONE applying there scores so well.</p>
<p>Need some advice, i’ll be serving my NS in a month’s time and will only be out 2013 aug.
Should i be applying now for 2012 intake and then deferring for a year or apply next year while in NS for 2013 intake. </p>
<p>Some additional info, for my SAT, CR 680, Math 680, CW 620. O level L1R5 15 and a Ngee Ann Poly Dip in Biz Studies. </p>
<p>Looking to major in finance and have looked through a few schools such as NYU, Uni Mich, Illinois Urbana. </p>
<p>Checked out UCLA, and UC berkeley too but they dont offer a finance major so need some advice, should i stick to schools that only offer finance majors or would a biz administration degree be fine too. </p>
I guess i’ll focus more on my studies there as I have spent enough time in secondary school being involved in CCAs and such. Plus i’ve read up on psychology and am absolutely sure that this is the path i want to take so i’ll put in my best effort to do well!</p>
well cc can’t seem to accept boucy.</p>
im still looking at the personal statements and thinking about them.</p>
