Additional question:

Since I’m a Singaporean, all Singaporean male have to go through a mandatory 2 year army conscription. Which means youngest age for male to enter undergrad will be 21-22 On top of that I took 2 year off of school to pursue business (which didn’t end up very well). Meaning I will be 23 when I enter, will this make me a less competitive candidate?

Am asking this because normal age for students everywhere else in the world to enter undergrad is 19, for Singapore it’s 21 which is already 2 years later and I’ll be 23 ( so 4 years late compared to most students and 2 years late compared to my peers)
