Apply to NTU

Congrats to those who found this page, this gonna be a guidance for your application, wish this help ! :)

first of all, check the application date and the dateline.

make sure you have prepare for any documents or certificates that you think are important.

for NTU, certs for international competitions really matter, eg olympiad

if you dont have any of that level, get some national level certs will help :)

if your certs aren't in english, make sure you translate them by doing it on Words with your name and any other important details on your certs.

if you want to send yout docs by snail mail:

print them out together with photocopies of the certs and get certified by your school headmaster or senior assistants that count *you can ask for certification in english, they have that :)*

if you want to scan and do it with a click:

yup, scan the original certs and docs and just upload them will do.

after the posting, check at your 'check status link' to see whether your docs safely reach there or not, it takes maybe 5 days for snail mail or 2 days for post laju.

if you are to apply before you get yout STPM result, make sure you scan and upload it within 3 days after the result day. there is somewhere called ' upload actual result', you see it right?

you can apply for scholarships in the mean time, while financial aids for NTU are only available after your admission is confirmed.

and then, wait for the application outcome :)

some get their application result really fast, i'll call it the first batch.

they got the admission mail that informed for their successful admission and also their course.

some get mail that reject their application, maybe their result doesn't meet the bottom line of the school criteria.

some got nothing for mail, but they got this at their check status link:

We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected to attend an interview before a decision on your admission is made. You will be notified by the school concerned directly on the interview schedule
(yup, i am in this situation)


don't be panic when you are in the 3rd situation, that actually means that you stand a chance for your choice, maybe your first choice :)
after 2 or 3 days the school concerned will send you an email and your interview date and time will be told, for me it was a phone interview.
make sure you get prepare with all the possible questions that may be asked.
-tell me about yourself
-why do you apply NTU
-which field do you want to futher your study
-your strength and weakness
-why do you think we should accept you into the school
-why do you want do study this course
-politics
-why singapore


I myself had prepared for these question and wrote out 2 pages of the answer xD
one great benefit of phone interview is that, you can actually refer to the answer that you've prepared when the question is being asked
just try not to sound like you're reading instead of anwering
for me, my interview lasts for only 6 minutes and it's from nanyang business school which is my 1st choice
after the interview, what you can do is just wait for the result and hope for the best
normally they will send you an mail regards of your admission on the next day if you make it
or you may receive an mail on the night of the interview day for your second choice.
but if you have the interivew on friday, you got to wait over the weekend..
it's a long period for me . lol

well, i've received an mail that informed me i got the offer to study BUSINESS in NTU after that 
Greetings from the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore! I am very pleased to inform you that you have been selected for admission to the Nanyang Technological University in academic year 2011-12 for reading BUSINESS under the subsidized tuition fee category.

what to do next is to apply for study loan, tuition loan, bursary and all things like that

gce-o and muet are pretty important in their selection criteria
i have friends with 4.0 in stpm don't get their 1st choice due to the muet result
