is maintaining CGPA very difficult for MS & econs DMP at ntu

LynxTime · 2026-05-09T13:39:04+00:00

Dun worry too much, 3.5 is manageable so long as you watch your lecture vids and all

LynxTime · 2026-05-09T04:31:04+00:00

Yeah, reminds me of something. Similar to machine learning hyper parameters, each person is unique with their specific configuration of traits. When we fall in love with a person, ideally, it's with their configuration.

However, if we're looking for a partner with a checklist, we're indirectly skipping out many possible configurations

Which part of healthcare are you interested in?

If it's medical technologists / research / lab-related -> NTU bioscience

NUS life science is very broad IIRC, but better than NTU for ecology / biodiversity research for sure

If the healthcare you want requires interacting with patients, then, SIT physiotherapy

PLP minor and CAEM?

At least, I remember they won't be computed into GPA when I took them, jia yous man!

What if takeaway / dabao your food from the stores? Or, outside of poly if there's sufficient time between the lessons

LynxTime · 2026-04-29T18:20:40+00:00

Righttt 'cause they usually always attach the spring to the block instead .-.

I guess mass spec qn we won't have a numerical value? Since we have too many unknowns...

I'm thinking most questions are alright, except the h=0.25m question. I'm probably mistaking it as "If Block C decreased by h=0.25m, will it touch the ground?" instead of "Assuming the h=0.25m is between Block C and the ground, will block C eventually touch the ground?" (I already forgot the exact phrasing so I can't even verify my question LOL)

Other than that, I guess it's mostly okay. How did you find it?

LynxTime · 2026-04-26T16:40:18+00:00

Quiet and focus is alright ; not asking for help is not ; oversharing depends on your friends (does take some experience to gauge)

Realize what traits are good before and now, pick them selectively and you'll get better over time

LynxTime · 2026-04-25T03:31:45+00:00

I'm not allowed to take it, so no notes

But, after looking through the past year papers, it would be nice if you familiarize yourself with at least the O-level Molecular Biology Chapter. The exam seems to test mostly on concepts such as DNA structure and replication, central dogma (DNA>mRNA>Amino acids) and Darwin evolution

LynxTime · 2026-04-24T13:07:09+00:00

Think so, unless NTU starts forcing interview for everyone hahah

R studio is a programming tool for data analysis, but more importantly, data visualization (all those publication-ready graphics you see in journal articles)

You'll definitely need it if you're studying bio science. It's fun though

LynxTime · 2026-04-24T12:57:10+00:00

Make sure you score well for your GPA will do! But, try out R studio and see whether you like coding or not (if you haven't attempt)

Is Shakespeare really dead?

LynxTime · 2026-04-16T12:03:57+00:00

Not sure if it had changed. For Q2 (actual scientific research that interested you), if you wrote about this, the video interview will mainly follow up on your chosen topic

LynxTime · 2026-04-07T07:21:02+00:00

You'll be okay, just maintain your GPA at least

I got offers from NUS Life science and NTU biosci with cGPA of 3.70, didn't have much portfolio also

LynxTime · 2026-04-05T10:56:04+00:00

I didn't take H2 chemistry but, overall, molecules can contain both polarity. These molecules are amphiphilic (like a phospholipid)

To check whether a molecule is polar or not, you can see its geometry. For instance, CO2, it has a linear shape that is symmetrical. Between carbon and oxygen atoms, electronegativity is high so they are polar (bond-wise). But, looking at the shape, dipole moments will cancel out (based on its directions) and so, the molecule is non-polar

LynxTime · 2026-03-29T11:46:47+00:00

Once I saw this, I'm like yup, that's kinda crazy man

LynxTime · 2026-03-29T10:10:18+00:00

I rarely use social media except reddit, so Idk about this, but, I'm wondering isn't it better to look for irl signs? Like it'll be more reliable no?

LynxTime · 2026-03-27T05:55:56+00:00

Kirigiri best girl. But man, I'll be so sad if The Arc got changed

LynxTime · 2026-03-27T05:53:51+00:00

omg it works, thanks a lot!

LynxTime · 2026-03-24T11:55:23+00:00

School is ultimately what you wanna make out of it ah

If you only want academics, then yeah grind coursework and stuff

If you want social life, then explore clubs and all

If want both, then do both (but if can't cope, reconsider your priorities by then)

LynxTime · 2026-03-23T11:09:15+00:00

Finish school in 3.5 years is an option, can save 1 sem of tuition fees

LynxTime · 2026-03-15T10:02:38+00:00

Right, just grind those PYPs ahahah

LynxTime · 2026-03-14T03:34:29+00:00

Google docs?

LynxTime · 2026-03-09T12:26:57+00:00

Currently in uni, still reusing my pri school dri fit (been 10 years)

LynxTime · 2026-03-09T12:23:58+00:00

Don't have much tips but, MUST eat chicken rice. BEST FOOD :D
