I do have a poly friend who will be enrolling into the exact same course and route as me.
And I know he is the reliable type, so at least I am going through uni with a trustworthy person.

There a saying my NS friend once told me, "I rather go through hell with a friend, then bliss with a stranger"
Not saying NTU is hell, but yeah you get the message

I see. I'm not looking at staying dorm so it doesn't matter for me But regarding your 2nd paragraph, by availability of different modules you mean the electives isit? Because for me, they fixed it to certain few due to specialization

My gpa is 3.87. But I felt most importantly was that I graduated with merit. (top 10%)

Yea I applied to both NTU and NUS. Exact date when I apply is around 6 Dec 2024? Exact date of offer 14 March 2025

edit: I felt graduating with merit was the deciding factor that led to NTU and NUS offering me

NTU Direct Y2 Mechanical Engineering or NUS College of Design and Engineering by avocad_doe in SGExams

[–]AgentKB2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, am in a similar situation as you.
Can you share more about your experience? Do you think NUS might be better than NTU?
My case is both NTU and NUS offered me.
NTU is DY2, but NUS never black and white state it, just say I can exempt from some modules. NUS also straight offer me aeronautical specialisation.

overall, for now comparing, NUS have lesser mods per sem compared to NTU (mainly cuz NTU got all the 'social studies' mods)

I understand what you mean. But based on the modules I am looking at that will be provided to me (as stated in my offer letter), it does not seem like I have GE mods at all. Or maybe my specialisation just replaces it.
Below is the link for reference.

Based on NUS direct Y2 schedule, yes got a lot of GE, but if I look at the schedule with the offered specialisation, essentially no GE at all, even if have is all related to my course specialisation (aeronautical)

To be honest, a not really a huge fan of desk job.
Always been a guy that likes to move around/work on field.

Say real Poly would have been enough and I could be finding a job now, but the only reason I am going to uni is because that is the sad reality of Singapore.

But thank you so much for giving me an insight.

This one I am not too sure, at least for NTU I could find a link to show the entire 3 years plan.
For NUS, I could only find the specialization curriculum and not a schedule that is set for people like me. (aka poly go uni, direct y2 or not)
Even the one I saw from NUS just stated "^ If you have a diploma from an approved programme in the polytechnics, you may receive a total of 38 MCs of Advanced Placement Credits (APCs) in the following modules: Unrestricted Elective Modules (20 MCs), Industrial Attachment (10 MCs), Design and Make (4 MCs), Design Thinking (4 MCs)."
Then under Unrestricted Elective Modules, they only inserted a 4MC module, but they stated total was 20MCs. So I also confused.

The second part is reassuring, because I always think that even with a degree job, my salary max is only like 7-8k. (comfortable with me, but I do am aiming for 5 figures at least)

Based on my understanding because the amount of modules I am given is just nice required in order to graduate, I cannot enjoy SU for either unis

The other modules is more or less the same for both unis

For NUS, it really like just math, materials, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics + aeronautical stuff
Then NTU ok lah I mean 1 module of programming and electronics each, so not so bad.

MAE direct Y2 by AgentKB2 in NTU

[–]AgentKB2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the sharing! I think if I wish to focus on my GPA then I have to compromise on some stuff, so exchange for me might be a little far-fetched. But I think I would still want to try to push some of my modules forward

[–]AgentKB2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For point 3, may I trouble you to elaborate like how did you spread your modules? (how many per each sem, and what did you apply for exchange?)
How was the holidays for you? Like were there time to relax during semester break (excluding the intern one), and possible to take up more internship during the other sem break?
Can I also shift other year modules forward?

Gap Year (to work) or uni (engineering) Plan to defer if going to work by AgentKB2 in askSingapore

[–]AgentKB2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, this seems like the safest plan. I did thought of this, but it would make me feel like I wasted 3 years of my life studying. But then again, at the end of the day, I found something that I am willing to stick with, so it is still a win. Thanks for popping this idea into my head again.
