      If you’re not competing for the popular majors, it should be fine. Maybe do some research on the stats before applying.

        Hence, enrolling them into FASS first and letting them compete for their major is better in my opinion.
        May i know based on what to compete for the popular Major ??
        Since it is stated tt every students are given the same amount of points for each semester to bid....
        That means results dont play a part ? Sorri, quite clueless...

          I believe for FASS, in your first year, you have to take up some exposure modules. Say if you want to major in psych, you take a few psych modules. You have to attain a certain grade for those modules to be able to declare it as your major. So the competition is within the module itself. Since everything is graded on a bell curve, not everyone will meet the minimum grade and hence, not everyone will be able to declare it as their major.

          \"After you are admitted into the FASS, you need to bid for the exposure module of your intended major. After you have passed the exposure module, you can declare the subject as your major (you need to obtain at least a B- grade to major in Psychology or Communications & New Media). It is true that Economics and Psychology are popular subjects and that competition for Psychology modules is very keen.\"

                It's very annoying to keep reading advertorial posts disguised as chats :rant:

                      I’m wondering how is everyone’s DCs coping with PW?


                      After spending more time with each other, personal eccentricities are starting to surface. DD is learning to adjust to different personalities and working styles and that can be quite frustrating.

                        My dd seems to be doing ok with PW groupmates (so far no complaints). But workload is heavy.
