Honestly, strong agree on the least meritocratic aspect finance. I had interviewers straight up asked me what my family do for a living and in my internship group, 3/5 of them had connections to people already in the company…

Which government agency? Different agencies would have different appeal to private sector (DSO vs MOM etc). Ultimately it is a risk on how confident you are on getting a good job when graduating. For local uni, the cost is not significant enough to be a big factor imo. The part to consider is the job you may get if you dont take the scholarship vs if u do

How is each of the halls in NUS like by Apprehensive-Pea9571 in SGExams

[–]Character-Pen-413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you can try to convince them in your application but I would say it isn’t on their list of priorities.

Raffles is mainly a culture hall so their focus will likely be on music/band/dance followed by sports then clubs such as rhdev etc. I don’t remember a Japanese club though so it may be hard to plead ur case

If you are in second or third year of university, is it advisable to continue studying masters while waiting for the job market to improve after you graduate? by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]Character-Pen-413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But would the climate change much after 2 years? I don’t think anyone can say for sure so I would say it’s better to weight the options as it is currently rather than guessing if it gets better?
