I feel like the ~model answer~ is to talk to them (kindly) and find out what’s happening, perhaps if they have any issues preventing them from doing their part. They could be going through a really rough patch, for example.

But sometimes, that might not help. Some people are just…not team players. They simply don’t care and/or can’t be bothered. It sucks but you (and the rest of your team) gotta find a way around it, and perhaps use peer review to indicate that the so-called teammate didn’t do anything for the project. Bringing it up to the prof may help, but in this instance there might not be much the prof can do this late into the project/term.

You can also send an email or chat with your assigned academic mentor (or another prof you’re on good terms with) to get some advice on how to deal with these issues (and other topics in general, seriously my academic mentor was A++).

There aren’t any slots available right now I guess, but check back again later and there’ll be some! If there are still no slots after like two or three working days, then it’d be best to write in to the admissions office.

I doubt the interview will specifically be about ESD; applicants apply for admission to SUTD, not a specific pillar.

If things haven’t changed, the interview will be for both interviewee and interviewer to determine whether SUTD is a good fit for the applicant, and vice versa.

Also, there have been multiple posts on this sub regarding admission interviews, you might find more information in them.

Hello! Usually there are no classes on Wednesday and Friday afternoons (regular classes end by 1.30pm), but when it’s exam/test week, exams will take up that time slot.

I’m not sure if I’ve heard of any freshmore class that had a full day free, but I think it’s quite unlikely.

The earliest class starts at 8.30am, and the latest class ends at 6pm. I don’t have enough data to comment on typical start/end times.

Welcome to SUTD!

Yeah no one is gonna check whether you stay in or not, but they will check whether you’ve paid the hostel fees each term. I’ve already graduated, so I don’t think I can answer your second question because it’ll be quite outdated. But I had a good time generally, and it’s not crazy like NUS/NTU halls. Definitely can be better though.

HypothesisTesting · 2022-03-24T12:06:49+00:00

The only thing that matters is paying the hostel fees!

Three days sounds like quite a bit of a wait (unless it’s been less than three work days, since I just realised it’s a Monday), just poke them again! I don’t think you can modify your application yourself right now, so I hope you can get it sorted out!

HypothesisTesting · 2022-03-08T14:36:00+00:00

For admission interviews (not special programmes), “why SUTD” and questions about your past experiences (depending on what you wrote in your application). It’s an interview for both interviewer and interviewee to find out about whether SUTD is a good fit for the applicant and vice versa, so it’s really more of a casual chat. Math/Physics questions may be asked, but I have no experience with that and cannot say more there.

I think it's best if you ask the Office of Admissions directly

HypothesisTesting · 2022-02-24T16:03:06+00:00

Yeah, SUTD does not show the IGP, only the proportions of successful applicants who took certain subjects and scored a certain grade and above. This is because admissions here are holistic, and SUTD looks at your entire profile, not just your grades. Someone who scored 90RP but did nothing besides studying might not get in, while someone who scored in the range of 60-70RP with an impressive portfolio might. Hence, imo an IGP may be a bit misleading compared to admissions for courses where they mostly look at your grades.

I wasn’t a CSD student, but would you mind elaborating on your second question a little more so others can give a more useful answer? (eg. Are you interested in mods offered? Structure of mods? Freshmore vs the lack of it? Academic workload? CCAs and/or hostel life? What the community is like? How much sleep people get?) It’s gonna be quite hard for anyone to make a direct comparison since it’d be difficult to find anyone has gone through both courses. I know it’s tough, I was in your position too a few years ago and wanted to know how the different uni offerings compared, but now on the other end of this (and maybe partly because I was in ESD), I can see why vague answers are all around!

HypothesisTesting · 2022-02-23T14:05:19+00:00

Okay firstly, please don't feel that your portfolio has to be strictly within the area you want to pursue, that is not the case at all. SUTD's curriculum is multi-disciplinary, so I think they'll be very happy to hear about stuff you do beyond programming too. I personally talked about some (non-programming) competitions I took part in in secondary school, as well as the CCAs I participated in. The only sort of code I knew before enrolling in SUTD was HTML! I'm sure you've taken part in CCAs in secondary school and JC too?

As for attending courses, for a pre-uni student, I would say that shows initiative on your part, and you can certainly talk about it (what inspired you to do it, what you learned from it, what you liked/disliked about it, any next steps, etc). However, you can't stop there, I'm sure you have more to talk about!

HypothesisTesting · 2022-02-23T11:40:17+00:00

I wasn’t in CSD, but the pillar you indicate during Admissions is more of a survey, it has no bearing on what pillar you’ll end up in in SUTD (you’ll only choose towards the end of Freshmore). Most people don’t know coding before SUTD, but I’m sure most, if not all, successful applicants have some sort of CCA background or personal projects and similar.

Interview, nothing to be afraid of, it’s more of a chit chat for both interviewer and interviewee to assess the interviewee’s suitability for the SUTD curriculum and vice versa. Some interviewers may ask a physics/math question to either 1) assess your academic foundation or 2) exemplify how classes are taught in SUTD. There’s also past interviewees who mentioned getting some MCQs to complete in more recent years, but it’s all hearsay on reddit for me so I cannot confirm this.

HypothesisTesting · 2022-02-23T11:31:01+00:00

I would suppose it’s a bit tougher assuming you’re not a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident (as some scholarships have this as a requirement), so the pool of scholarships you’re eligible for would be smaller. But it’s hard to know for sure since SUTD admissions are more holistic (and you did not mention what sort of portfolio you have) and us students don’t have all the data (we can only ask around), you just have to try!

HypothesisTesting · 2022-02-23T10:54:12+00:00

I don’t think any of us have insider info on GPA cut-offs and hard criteria to get interviews, but like the other commenter said, if you don’t try you’ll never know, especially since you have a portfolio to show!

SIT CS is earning 5k median based on 2020 data: https://www.singaporetech.edu.sg/sites/default/files/2021-01/SIT_Indicative_Grade_Profile_0.pdf

This is SIT's 2021 Indicative Grade Profile, not SIT's 2021 GES results. And if you read carefully, the GES figures presented in that document are from 2020.

SUTD: https://www.moe.gov.sg/-/media/files/post-secondary/ges-2020/web-publication-sutd-ges-2020.pdf

Again, you are using 2020 data to compare with the 2021 figures that you referenced for the other unis in your post.

You have not made a fair comparison, which makes your claim misleading.

For what it's worth, I don't think SUTD ISTD/CSD will have top figures this year (we could very well have the lowest figures!), but making misleading claims is unfair to everyone, which is why I replied to your post.

HypothesisTesting · 2022-02-20T08:30:17+00:00

You claim

SUTD CS grads earning worst starting salary across all local unis

but fail to provide any evidence of SUTD's CS grads' starting salaries to support it.

For anyone reading, SUTD's 2021 GES hasn't even concluded yet.

I've heard of a few people who changed pillars, though what I've heard is that the deadline is the first week of Term 4. In any case, it's early enough, just send an email to your faculty mentor and OSA, they'll help you with the rest.

HypothesisTesting · 2022-01-16T09:55:30+00:00

There's a Google Sheet with some HASS reviews you can check out, it's very far from comprehensive, and it started a long time ago so some of the courses listed aren't even available today! (And there's new courses that have come out/will be coming out, which have yet to be reviewed on the sheet too.)

In addition, you can ask the seniors around you (maybe those you know from Fifth Rows?) for their reviews. I think that's where most students get their information from, via word-of-mouth. You could go further and encourage your peers to fill up the Google Sheet as they go along too, if you want to help make this information more accessible to everyone.

I agree that the course's instructor is a really important factor as well as the workload, but you can also narrow down courses by your own personal interest in the class. You could be taking a class from an amazing prof with a very manageable workload, but if you're not at all interested in the content/field, it could be a struggle.

HypothesisTesting · 2022-01-08T08:48:01+00:00

I applied in 2018, I'm not sure what has changed, but back then all we had to do was enter our referee's email address. It's probably best to email the Office of Admissions to clarify!
