Why did you go for E&E since you are a biology student?

You got accepted this year only? or long time ago?

This is a good idea..easier to get in from poly. And Poly student no need do first year. A lot malaysian used this way.

If u talk about chemical engineering..make sure no B in ur result. It is very competitive inside here. One of the easiest course to get from NUS is Science as they accept large intake. U can get with SAM forecast result or 1 A in STPM. Very good course offered by NUS if u dun like engineering.

Definetely A-Level from some reputable college. NUS very fussy about the qualification. Must be recognized and they strict in the quality of the result u holding. Diploma...really depends how they view the quality of the diploma.

Actually im not that hate physics but i like biology more than physics. But i do like robotics and electrical stuff so i just try to apply and see whether i will get it. By the way I just got the admission this year.

then i wanted to go for institut sinaran a-level at kk, is it qualified? I got fren got into sg uni with it. Or is the polytech there exp? how is the fee? I know that can use tuition grant to aid financial prob, but if i use tuition grnat at polytech then i can take tuition grant when i go in their uni? Polytech easier to get in?

Ur university results has nothing to do with the hostel application.
Both are mutually exclusive.
All freshmen are guaranteed a room in their first yr.
From second yrs onwards, it's based on balloting.

Singapore students usually take these routes to university

1) Primary->Secondary->Junior College (A Level 2 yrs) -> University
2) Primary->Secondary->Polytechnic (3 yrs) -> University

If a singapore student do badly for Alevel, he can either
retake A level or join polytechnic to pursue a diploma.

It's not easy to enter uni with diploma as sg uni mostly allocated their vacancies for JC students and sg unis rather offered scholarships for China and Indian students. That's why a lot of poly students in Singapore are complaining lack of vacancies for them, resulting them going for further studies overseas.

AS long you get Top 5% for diploma, it's 90% guaranteed u are able to enter sg uni.

I have a question

Is SPTM easier or difficult than Singapore A Level?

International students hav room for first 2 years for sure.

Yeah that
I think almost the same. Singapore A-level not easy as far as I know

Which hostel are you referring to? Is it NTU?

Not bad for 2 years, my sister is staying in NUS, they only secure your accomodation for the first year, the following year is based on your performance.

Yep NUS..eh..thats strange. NUS gives international students 2 years of guranteed place to stay in campus. I am a first year so maybe it's a new policy.

i need to know anyone from institut sinaran at sabah get into sg uni? becos i might study there for a-level, going to west msia is likely a killing to me(expenses)..

Seems like it's pretty easy to get into NTU nowadays.... big group of Malaysian students over there. NUS, however, is another story.

is it? hope it is true..
