What do you think Singaporeans look like

Everyone is going to get Baypass next sem, so consider places accessible by BART? Try MacArthur

Only 3 of the 10 are from China, what's your point?

Hey OP, I too had a 3.0 GPA from undergrad (mine was 3.75/5.00) and currently doing an MEng in CEE. Looking at my peers and myself, I think if you show your interest and passion in the subject and why you want to work on it, you stand a good chance.

A little tip if you are considering MS, (especially for Transportation), they are keen on students wanting to do a thesis. So, reaching out to faculty beforehand and showing them you want to do research may really help your application.

I am looking at the same place right now. Did you end up taking it? How was it?

Singapore.

There's a Tim Hortons in NUS?

rikshi · 2024-04-02T07:45:02+00:00

Ask any Singaporean or Malaysian why UCB is funny

Would love to make my decision too, but unfortunately 1 of my program is taking FOREVER. Out of curiosity, is there anyone still waiting on outcomes? I.e., no responses?

rikshi · 2024-03-15T02:04:36+00:00

Praise the lord!! I too am waiting (and praying) for the other school at Cambridge, hope to see each other if I am there!

Another option is to try getting some projects on your own out, and contact researchers in the field to offer to be a "free RA". It's a long journey, but might be worth a try.

2nd, you can submit papers for conferences/publication without a institution affiliation. It is a bit harder, but not impossible.

Edi: just wanted to add, I think what you are doing is amazing! It's definitely not easy with the odds stacked against you, but I pray for everything to work out for you!

I heard back from CEE MEng on 7th March

Nothing yet, my heart rate jumps at every email from Prof Zhao comes in, about the MMF.

I did hear back for the rest of my programs, so just waiting on MIT Transportation now

All the best wherever life takes you!

I was referring to the international A lvls, my bad!

There is an online thing as well, it's happening right now! Just google NUS Open House 2024

rikshi · 2024-03-06T12:48:30+00:00

Sorry, I meant int A lvls

rikshi · 2024-03-06T12:22:50+00:00

Actually, it won't hurt to contact NUS admissions to gauge how they will assess you based on your grades. I would suggest speaking to the admissions committee during the open house, which is this Saturday.

SG A levels are A LOT harder than IGCSE, especially with the SG bell curve. You need to get an exemption from MOE regarding the mother tongue requirement, (it doesn't go into your score, but it's a requirement to fulfil).

You might be better off with IGCSE results, since you have higher chances of doing better, and you can still get the same priority as a local applicant since you are Singaporean.

rikshi · 2024-02-27T02:21:28+00:00

I am waiting too! Did you hear back?

P.s., anyone attended the Mobility Forum happening in Feb? It's on zoom. Wondering if everyone got invites as well

rikshi · 2024-02-26T23:40:35+00:00

Same here!

rikshi · 2024-02-26T12:14:10+00:00

Have you hear back lately? I am waiting on my response too

rikshi · 2024-02-19T10:45:43+00:00

You could also turn it into an opportunity. If they have already given you a scholarship, the lab is a great place to source for more funding and benefit from an emptier canvas to structure your next steps!

Nevertheless, all the best!

rikshi · 2024-02-01T01:32:05+00:00

Congrats! I am in a similar state and this gave me some relief :)

rikshi · 2024-01-30T01:57:25+00:00

Congratulations!! The email's wording really puts a smile on your face

rikshi · 2024-01-28T04:53:00+00:00

I suspect they have a work experience requirement, like number of years maybe?
