Hello fellow Malaysian applicants! If you have any questions on application details, result anxieties, selection tests/interviews or anything about NUS, feel free to ask us here! There are seniors here to help answering your questions.


Just a few pointers here:


Scholarships are available for you to apply for in NUS. One of them is the ASEAN Undergraduate scholarship, which you'll be considered for based on your results you've submitted, so you don't need a separate application. If you've applied to NUS early in November or before that, chances are that you might have already been called for an interview sometime in January, even if you have not received your offer for admission yet. If not, the second round of interviews will be sometime in May. Remember this is dependent on their assessment of your application!


A second scholarship is the Singapore scholarship, which I believe have already opened their applications. More information is available here
http://www.scp.gov.sg/content/scp/sc...holarship.html



About application outcomes, the time period it takes for you to receive them will differ! So do not get jittery if your friends have received their offers and you haven't. Chances are that it'll come soon!


Do post any other questions you have. We have a big Malaysian family here at NUS who are always ready to help!

Hello!
As we are a bunch of undergraduate seniors here to facilitate the application process of the Pre-U grads, we aren't sure about the exact details about PhD. However, you may refer to the link http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/graduates/m_application.html

Further enquiries can drop an e-mail to NUS School of Computing where the contact details can be found here:
http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/home/contactus.html

Thank you for your question and I hope this helps!

Hello!
I can't tell if you're guaranteed to get into NUS for physics major with 4.0 or 4A*, but you definitely stand a very high chance to be accepted with such results. For my academic year (2013-14), I think almost all of us who come from A Level background scored 4A*.
However, this may differ from year to year as we do not know how A level marking standard varies every year.

Just do your best and you are the best. Wishing you all the best!

is she doing graduate studies? Cos PGP gives priority to undergraduate students instead of graduate students. Or, could it be that she did not pay for the deposit to continue her stay on second semester last time?

Try to appeal again. May I know, is she staying out campus now, or anywhere in the campus?

Yeah, there's only one GSA block for grad students in PGP. So do you mean that she's applying for next semester stay in PGP?

Yup, the incubator bungalows are for NUS Entrepreneurship Society students. Do they have people staying there? I thought they usually hold their meetings or activities in that unit.

Hey there, there isn't such thing as first come first serve for the admission application. So everyone stands an equal chance on getting selected. By right they shortlist applicants all the way until June. Just be patient and maybe apply for some other uni/scholarship applications at the meantime (if you have alternative choices other than Sg)!

Can you try to retrieve them from your secondary school? It's better to include them tho. At least for PMR and SPM trial results. If you really really couldn't at all then at least submit your PMR and SPM results slip.

Yeah. That's what exactly I did for ONLINE submission. It's quite troublesome to do, but this definitely doesn't violate with what they stated there right?

Hi there!
Hmm, the Malaysian Students' League is sort of an unofficial "society" in NUS.
It is just a platform to gather the Malaysians in NUS to bond, make friends and provide a home away from home.
We welcome any Malaysians or Malaysia-related people (sorry for such layman terms) to join us!

Do visit us @ http://www.nusmsl.org/

Just a reminder for fellow STPM leavers! The admission application closing date falls on 31st March 2014! Meaning it is only 3 days left from now! Do remind your friends who are interested in applying to NUS to submit their admission application soon!

Yeap. Probably you're in the first batch of applicants where NUS start to select students!
Keep your fingers crossed! All the best to you.
For the other applicants who are still waiting, don't give up! Your application will be most likely reviewed by NUS after they are done with first batch of selection.

Nope. It is not under NUS. It was formed by a few seniors few years ago to foster the Malaysians together.

Congratulations! Yes, NUS will not choose for you and you'll have to declare your major yourself when class starts, don't worry about that!

See you in NUS?

Agree! Personally speaking, I agree with the fact to go for the course you will not regret doing.

Good morning everyone!

Now that the application period is over. I wish all the applicants ALL THE VERY BEST in getting your offer! The admission results will be announced any time from now till all the way to end of June. I believe some of y'all have already gotten your offer while some of you are still waiting anxiously! Don't panic! We believe that you've done your best in your application so, keep your fingers crossed!

So to spice up the environment, let me share a video with y'all that reflects our life in NUS!

Here's a sneak peek on our Year 1 Malaysian students' performance preparation on an event called In-fusion (International Student Night)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C702WNtAsE

And this is the actual In-fusion performance which was held on 14/2/2014 by team Malaysia!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX1UJV3da5A&feature=youtu.be

Be anticipated!

Good morning all!
FYI, apart from forum posts and e-mail, we have a new Facebook page @ https://www.facebook.com/msl.ufo9
Do like our page and spread this page to your friends who are interested in joining us in NUS! We will keep y'all updated!

Have a great day!

HELLO everyone!

I am sorry that we had idled for quite some time due to sitting for final examinations! But it's all over now so we're back! *wooohooooo*

Anyway, there are some updates I would like you fellow (potential) juniors to know:

Welcome Tea-s
According to the Office of Admission, those who have received an admission offer would be invited to the welcome tea! There would be one at Penang on the 10th May (Sat), one at KL and JB on 17th May (Sat). Since the admission offers are not completed yet, that doesn't mean you're rejected if you have not gotten an offer. Remember, PATIENCE is the key!

During the welcome tea-s, we, the seniors from MSL will be there as student helpers. We will be sharing about lives in NUS and anything that you would like to know about NUS during the welcome tea, so do come over to find out more! Of course, you can ask us right here too, but we prefer to see you and talk to you FACE TO FACE!

However, we were told to promote NUS as an international university so we would not be talking about MSL or the orientation programme that we prepare for you guys (UFO 9) during the welcome tea, but you can ask us about it personally or through forum threads! We will be more than happy to tell you more about it!

ON A SIDE NOTE, we do exist! UFO 9 is still an ongoing thing despite we wouldn't be talking about it during the welcome tea-s!

We (MSL) are a voluntary (though unofficial) group of student body consisting of Malaysian students who organize events to bond / have interaction among the Malaysian students. One of the events, UFO 9, serves as an orientation programme to help the incoming freshmen (Y'ALL ARE OUR TARGETS!!! ) and seniors to mingle and gather. Apart from making new friends, we will be having bonding activities, sharing sessions on some NUS stuff, necessities such as opening of bank account, places to get cheap groceries... and also tour around Singapore! All in all, our aim is to provide a "home" for the Malaysian students in NUS! The best part about it is that it is entirely free! Soooooo do come and join us, the link to sign up is: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1raGxPjh9y8...1msddc/viewform

For more info, do like and visit our FB page regularly, we will be posting updates more frequently now onwards as exams are over! https://www.facebook.com/msl.ufo9

SEE YOU AT THE WELCOME TEA!

The welcome tea is a session to provide some info about NUS to the undergraduate freshies, speakers will mainly be talking about the experience, expenses and how is it like in NUS. As stated above, do come and find out more! We would like to meet you too!

Regarding postgraduate studies, I am not really sure, perhaps he/she can visit the Office of Admission (OAM) during office hours? http://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/

Do you mean things like counselors stand by in the office and wait for students to approach them?
I am not sure too, but I think so because I'd passed by the office and there are staff inside, probably they are the "counselors".

Anyway, OAM is located at University Town, you can refer here for the direction.
http://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/experiencesNUS/gettingtooam.html

Hey there, it is a very good question!
Basically, we purposely make it this early to overlap with your QET test so that y'all wouldn't have to travel twice to Singapore for orientation programme and also for QET test.

It may sound really early as you guys aren't familiar with the orientation camps in NUS yet.
Faculty orientation and hall orientation (if you're applying to halls) will be held somewhere in the end of July, which is just days after MSL UFO 9. Of course they aren't compulsory, just that if you're interested to join the camps then you wouldn't miss them even joining our orientation programme! If we hold the orientation at a later date then it might clash with these other orientation camps, and you guys wouldn't have enough buffer time to familiarize yourself in NUS before starting your term here.

Do join us! Do tell your friends who are coming to NUS about it and come for orientation together-gether!

Hello everyone!

Glad to have met those who attended the Welcome Teas @ Penang, KL and JB! Unfortunately, we didn't get the contact details of everyone who attended. So if you want updates from us regarding the UFO 9, please like our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/msl.ufo9. Do send us your e-mail through FB message so we can e-mail the details to you! We will only email you updates on our events and relevant stuffs so no worries! There will be no spams haha!


Also, the UFO 9 is going to be held from 14th - 21st July. It's so long because it initially includes the QET test, medical check up, the opening of your bank accounts, official registration to NUS, info on module bidding and how the online portal works, the Freshmen Inauguration Ceremony and the necessary official stuffs needed to be done while also having the fun stuffs like campus tour, city tour and Sentosa day. So don't miss out the opportunity to join us! It's alright if you can't make it all the way. Just let us know! It's free anyway!
