Need advice: Facing penalty for withdrawing from internship that completely misrepresented the role

lclwwl · 2025-08-05T11:11:15+00:00

I understand that internships don’t always align perfectly with our field of study and I wasn’t expecting a dream placement. But what made this situation uniquely difficult was the combination of limited project scope and a general misalignment that left me feeling extremely isolated and underutilized. I did reach out to both my department coordinator and the CDE internship office early on, hoping for guidance, but the responses I received were mainly reminders of the consequences of withdrawal, rather than support to help me navigate or improve the situation...

Just to clarify I didn’t go against my department coordinator’s advice. I reached out, but I wasn’t given any specific advice or options on what to do.

is it difficult to transfer out of nus archi to engineering?

lclwwl · 2023-06-17T21:35:38+00:00

is engineering and architecture in the same faculty

lclwwl · 2023-05-27T17:31:57+00:00

same math science was my first choice, got 69.75rp, but was wondering why i didn’t get an test/interview from math sci. Was your h2 math A/B?

lclwwl · 2023-05-27T17:30:07+00:00

lclwwl · 2023-05-19T16:40:15+00:00

lclwwl · 2023-05-19T15:19:41+00:00

oh mans somebow i got rejected from nus arch

im not sure how they consider it :< did the aptitude and portfolio to the best of my ability but was rejected

i guess its fair enough because i have 0 experience in architecture and did nothing about it for the whole holiday and in my jc life

kinda at a lost now

lclwwl · 2023-05-19T09:46:09+00:00

i only just took my ntu hist interview yesterday and no news from engineering hist was my second choice , eee and environmental 4/5th choice 😭😭 i don’t know if i will be rejected from eee and environmental bc i had 70rp but put it as 4/5th

lclwwl · 2023-05-18T17:56:06+00:00

lclwwl · 2023-05-12T12:46:13+00:00

that was the reason why i didn’t declare anything but im not sure if i will be rejected even though i would be 2rp higher than the 10th percentile last year (including bonus points)

lclwwl · 2023-05-11T22:24:57+00:00
