      I've browsed the UniSim website and found something interesting but i am still pretty unsure about it. The tuition fees of UniSim is not by year but is by degree programme. The \"all basic degree'' is roughly $33876 SGD per degree programme, thats like $11292 SGD a year(if take a 3 years programme) , which is similar to the annual fees of SMU. But here comes my doubt, if one spent 3 years in local uni such as NTU and SUTD all those, how many degree will the student get?

      If its also 1 degree, then i think ill give UniSim a shot cause what i worried about study private u is the cost. QAQ
      The undergraduates in the local uni usually get ONE degree unless they are admitted into a double degrees program which usually takes 4 years or more.

        Thanks! I will apply for it tomorrow and hopefully one of the uni will accept me T.T

            Hello, i did quite badly for As too. Was wondering if i theres hope for me to get into NUS/NTU/SMU? Im a 'hybrid' student and more comfortable with arts actually but might consider going to the 'engineering dumping ground' because i really need to get to a local uni šŸ˜ž

            Research (H3): Merit

            I heard merit for research is already quite good, although my sciences beg to differ. I have quite decent CCA records, student leader positions and stuff. Thankyou!

              Try FASS followed by engineering which require bridging as you do not have physics and math quite weak ?

                Maybe you should apply to all uni and at the same time re sit the exam. Just to play safe.

                  Question about applying to the local unis:


                  This is a broad question and not pertaining to any faculty in particular. How do local unis consider applications? Consider a first cut off via UAS first, followed by grades of relevant H2 subjects? How important is personal statement, testimonials and CCAs?

                    Personal statement where required would rank higher than testimonial, to snare the interview.


                    CCA comes in when assessing scholarship application

                      Thanks. Are personal statements considered across all faculties or just some faculties?

                        My understanding is not all faculties require PS. I may be wrong
