jtoh:

Does anyone know when local uni applications open and when applications must be made by? Not talking about the early admissions which are already closed, but regular admissions.

Online application for Singapore-Cambridge GCE 'A' Level applicants will commence three working days after the release of 2015 Singapore-Cambridge GCE ‘A’ Level results in March 2016. Two types of online application forms are available, namely Online application form Type I and Online application form Type II.

I would also be interested to fine out more about oversea Uni application, to UK and U.S. Like what makes you or dc choose US over UK or vice versus. How is the application like, when do you need to start applying, what makes you decide to study in UK / US over here in Singapore etc, if you or other parents don't mind to share. Thanks!

Many reasons to go overseas :


Desired courses not available in SG

Grades not good enough for local uni

Desire to experience living in different culture

Part of longer term objective to migrate as an option

Got scholarships to go overseas

Can afford it

U.K. is now cheaper than Aussie

Some Aussie uni / courses switching to USA system of having the need to do a general degree before embarking on professional degrees like medicine

Some of the placement agents in SG do provide lots of help and info, free of charge, as they are paid by the unis

For entry to uk uni in sept 2016 the application cycle started in 2015. Many should have received conditional offers from uk uni by now
