The Singaporean Connection

<p>Love it here in S’pore…
But i’ve been in the US system for 5 yrs already…
Dunno if I could fit back into S’pore unis… :(</p>

<p>dun worry bondo!!! if intl can fit in, u def can!!!
hey i am not a local either(ok i ahve been here 6.5 yrs) but even in few weeks, no one cud tell i was a foreigner…haha</p>

<p>where in singapore did u apply??</p>

<p>“bondo”! Cute nickname! :D</p>

<p>anyone out there going to Penn this fall? looking for future classmates.</p>

<p>Neha1: haha, I thought I was easier to apply for grad in US compared to undergrad? They have more aid available and not so many people go for them wat?</p>

<p>i dunno abt grad vs under tho i heard wat u said is true…
i was juz b itchin abt us vs uk cos i was stupid cow not to apply uk at all… :p</p>

<p>neha1: did you apply for any scholarships? coz i heard that some who get accepted for scholarships can actually get direct admission into a top uni both in the US and the UK without actually applying like everyone else. anyway, u could also try transferring after a year or so, some US unis allow transfers from foreign universities. as for myself, it’s either SMU or NYU (what a big difference huh…) The main problem right now is cost, so i guess i’ll just see how things go.</p>

<p>chezo: i’m from chinese high too, u graduated in 2001? what ep3 were u from?</p>

<p>shijie - yo 'sup. i’m going to penn this fall - you are too?</p>

<p>invictus - oh are you going too??</p>

<p>ya i applied for some of the uni ones and soem agencies like mAs, but i am a foreign student, not even PR so my options are limited…
and i did nto get shortlisted for MAS (wat a surprse!!) the onty one i noe so far form my shc who amde ot thru 2 rounds of MAS is the 2rd top in my sch with 3 s paper distinctions!!! :eek:
wheresas i got a bloody U… :p</p>

<p>u guys ahve msn, spe those goin to singapore unis??</p>

<p>nitrogen and oxygen were sitting in class, when the teacher asked a ques, why did nitrogen raise his hand first??</p>

<p>cos he was N2…</p>

<p>nerd joke only singaporeans will get it…haha…cos the others did not…:p</p>

<p>ath: I didnt graduate, moved to canada in sec 2. Judo and I sucked at it haha. You? When did you graduate? I was in 2000 2B, so should have graduated in 2002. When i left i was one of the stupider kids. Life has a way with people, I bet most of my better qualified class mates are going to NUS.</p>
