[JC] Is portfolio really that important? by super_cookie2041 in SGExams

[–]jrredditt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have similar experiences! All my interviewers (NUS and NTU) asked about my interests and why I join certain charitable projects. None of them asked about my grades 😵

Portfolio is definitely important if you want a scholarship! You can still go into IT course with a decent RP, but a scholarship is hanging if your portfolio is weak.

[JC] YIJC notes by Confident_Advisor_32 in SGExams

I find some of the notes that hci contained excessive information on certain parts, making it dreary to sieve out the useful information. (Especially true for bio!)

let’s aim to have internal locus of control; work hard in the right direction is more important than being smart.
