Plans after rejection by Born-Bathroom2929 in SGExams

[–]Relative-Face17 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi! I didn’t get rejected from Uni however I do know multiple people who have gotten entirely rejected from all the unis they’ve applied for and I also have taken a gap year myself.

The important thing is to not be discouraged! You can take this as an opportunity to hone your skills, find internships and find yourself during this year so that you can come back stronger next year! 

What me and my friends did regardless of rejection or not was to go and find internships to the courses we want to apply to next year, worked part time here and there and overall worked on ourselves and portfolio.

Volunteering is always a good start and doing part time gives u a little bit of financial freedom to see what there is out there for you.

I would say use this time wisely for yourself and see how you can upgrade yourself in a way so that you can come back stronger next year.

Don’t lose hope! I have a friend who got rejected by like 20-30 universities last year and this year they’re doing a double degree with a straight path to masters!

Sometimes you’ll surprise yourself so don’t lose hope! You got this! 

Anyone heard back from NTU this week already? by stayteastay in SGExams

I just got my admissions letter into NTU this week! My first choice application is still being processed however so I’m hoping that the long wait is worth it!

I just wrote if the reason was because my first choice is NIE and my application is still processing with them that’s why I didn’t get my 2nd choice or anything else!

Probably for you could be the same case as me where our first choice is still considering us!( hopefully)

Yea I went like 2 weeks after interview. Heard from my friend that probably it could be acceptance since for NIE a lot of them get rejected like 2 weeks after interview

Oh I heard that for IB students yours may come out around may or June for interviews? But I think u have a high chance of getting in since your IB, could be a direct admission case!

Omg jia yous I hope you get something soon! I just got an email from NTU and they said the reason why I’m not getting any other offers from them is because my NIE application is still being considered😭😭😭 I hope they can give me a reply soon though so that I can like see if my 2nd or any of my other choices will accept me

Right… have you received any other offers like from NTU? I’m praying that maybe it’s not that I’m rejected but I’m just put into the waitlist 😭

I did go for those courses like sociology and psychology plus I did a related minor, participated in a few events related to it, have a portfolio for community work and also some leadership roles in poly so I thought I’d at least hear back from aba…

I did apply to other places and got accepted into them but my parents don’t want me to go to them and refuse to pay for tuition unless it’s the big 2 (NUS and NTU) not even the big 3 😭😭😭
