Singaporean connection

<p>Since Im in Poly, they will only be sending my poly transcript.
Im planning on taking the Alevels as a private candidate. So I’ll have to submit that myself as well. For teacher reccomendations, can I just get them to write it before I graduate so I can send it whenever I apply?</p>

<p>Tks for your help!</p>

<p>Is anyone looking for an internship back in SG?</p>

<p>Hey guys!</p>

<p>I’m currently holding onto a place at a university (deposit paid) and have deferred for two years because of NS. Does anybody if I’m allowed to re-apply while holding onto a place? It says that my deferment will be honoured on the condition that I don’t “enrol” in another college, so i’m not sure if i’m allowed to reapply.</p>

<p>Thanks guys!</p>

<p>No, I don’t think so. At the very least if you do you’ll forfeit your current spot at the school. Check your deferment notice to be sure. </p>

<p>FWIW your JC probably wouldn’t take too kindly to your going back against your word re the deferment; they generally like to be on good relations with the colleges and so on. But yeah, check back first (email the admissions office if need be. It’s kinda tactless maybe but if its important then you’ll have to do it).</p>

<p>Then, How do I submit my Olevel certs? mail or electronic? I don’t think i have enough time to submit by mail…</p>

<p>If you are using common app, you could ask your teacher to upload it for you. Otherwise, they will only look at certified copies which means you absolutely have to submit by mail.
You do have enough time though, if you submit with DHL or FedEx, it only takes 2-3 days.</p>

<p>Just inform the school, I’m sure they’ll be fine with it. Incomplete documents can be submitted for quite some time after the commonapp deadline.</p>

<p>Hey!!
Do any of u know summer science programs in singapore that I can take up??</p>

<p>Any info on internships in science will also be cool </p>

<p>Thank You</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>does anyone have any idea on this?
each year, roughly how many singaporean students can get into Ivy for undergraduate studies?
how many of them are under singaporean government scholarships?
how many of them are male?</p>

<p>thanks,</p>

<p>Noble,
In one post you managed to introduce me to three universities previously unknown to me: SOKA, Woodbury, and Concordia Irvine. Honestly, never heard of them. </p>

<p>My suggestion: grab hold of the list of textbooks previously used for micro, macro, econometrics, trade, and game theory. Then find a sample problem set for each. Both will speak volumes. </p>

<p>As for your A levels grades…hmm…two thoughts. One, going to a fourth/fifth tier school, maybe a mid range third tier, but pay your way. Many schools are hurting and can use the influx of cash. Two, go to a reputable community college and rebuild your academic reputation. The SATs are not bad. The choice between the two depends on your self-assessment.</p>

<p>Best, TF</p>

<p>Hi! I’m currently a J2. alr took SAT I in January but my scores aren’t great so I’m retaking the test in May. When do most Singaporeans take their SAT II? June seems too rushed and other dates may clash with prelims or A levels. How hard is SAT II anyway? (looking at the science and math SAT IIs) Thank you!</p>

<p>Btw I’m from Hwa Chong! :)</p>

<p>hello hwachie
I took my SAT IIs in the October of my J2 year. SAT II isn’t hard, you just need to practice a bit for mastery. If you are comfortable with all the content of a SAT Subject test then you should take it ASAP so you can concentrate on your A lvls - the least desirable scenario is taking your Subject Tests in November.</p>

<p>Hey guys just wanted to ask what SAT scores would I need to attain to get into second tier us Unis? And actually are the second tiers recognized by singapore employers, since there’s a lot of talk going ard about how sg employers don’t even know top lacs and such. Just got a level results and looking at sg Uni courses but they seems so limited, plus there’s the nightmare of somewhat repeating jc life in local Us.</p>

<p>Take SAT IIs in Dec // SAT I in Jan. If you are the last minute type.</p>

<p>Honestly though, SATs arent as bad as As and they dont matter that much once you cross 2.2k.</p>

<p>Hey, anyone knows if Singaporean employers are familiar with UIllinois? I mean like it’s a top 5 engineering uni but most of my friends have never heard of it >.<</p>

<p>@baneblades</p>

<p>I think it’s quite reputable. (: When I went for a PUB scholarship talk 2 years back the scholar mentioned that he went to UIUC to read electrical engineering! So there shouldn’t be a problem, since a stat board actually sent one of their scholars there.</p>

<p>Just wondering, what is the reputation of Yale-NUS among Singaporeans?</p>

<p>Yale-NUS is new program so most Singaporeans may not know about it.</p>

<p>The most important question is how employers look at it 4 years from now when first batch graduates.</p>

<p>That will depend on how well the program is conceived and how well the students make use of it.</p>

<p>As of now the signs are that the admission into Yale-NUS is tough and competitive.</p>
