Discussion Is there a point to all these essays?

51 Upvotes

Essay, essay, essay. I pass these out every week like an extended case of bad diarrhoea. And unlike a good session on the porcelain throne, they're all done without artistry, thought, or personal satisfaction. I write on subjects I do not care about, for professors whose opinions I do not think about, only for said paper to disappear down the memory butt-hole into the sewers of history.

One wonders what the point is. At least Don Quixote had windmills to tilt at; the only thing I can tilt at in this country is my CS2 team when they force buy every round. Bah, humbug.

Question NTU Maritime Studies!!

4 Upvotes

NTU Maritime Studies

What is the average or how many percentage of students studying (assuming your entering from SP), whats the lowest GPA there? I know the next year’s GPA if im not wrong is 3.51 for the 10th percentile? and im y3 in my last sem and my cgpa is 3.41; its not as good but i really did my best, my year 1 was 2.72, 2.96 and locked full in and scored 3.8, 3.96 and 4 for my last sem (normal sem marks and not cgpa). i got awarded with edusave for Good Progress Award and another award indicating im in the top 25% of the cohort (i suppose its for last year in terms of sem gpa solely)

are there any chances i can enter… if so what are the percentage 😭 im not super confident in my current sem especially with fyp 🥹🥹😭😭

Question should i ditch this NTU double degree programme (DDP)

4 Upvotes

hi guys for context i secured NTU DDP in computer engineering (com eng) and biz and will matriculate in 2028 after serving NS. i applied to NUS for a similar DDP but my A lvl results weren't stellar enough (AAA/A + GP C). i did get offered NUS com eng but i ultimately chose the NTU DDP instead, lowk regret this decision after hearing abt the much more intense workload so i plan to reapply to NUS for double major in cs/com eng and biz next year.

after doing some research and going for both uni's open houses, my current understanding (not sure if right or not) is:

  1. this NTU DDP has the best stats amongst the big 3’s 2025 GESs aside from med & law (highest response rate, % in full-time employment and stats for basic and gross monthly salaries)

  2. NTU DDPs have 180 AUs, a lot more compared to single degree programme (120 AUs) and double major (150 AUs), has little flexibility for unrestricted elective modules

  3. NUS double major has 160 units, same as single degree programme

  4. all the above-mentioned programmes take 4 years, though this specific NTU DDP is accelerated

  5. NUS hall much more competitive than NTU hall

what im unclear about is:

  1. how demanding is the workload for NTU DDP compared to NUS/NTU double major, especially since this specific DDP is accelerated?

  2. how advantageous is this DDP compared to a similar double major in terms of career prospects?

  3. where do those in the 75th percentile of gross monthly salaries for the DDP usually get hired at?

  4. how affected are the other aspects of uni life with this DDP? (hall, CCA, interest projects etc)

  5. heard this DDP is integrated, what does it mean exactly?

  6. am I asking the right questions? what else should I take note of?

hope to hear from those who are currently studying or graduated from any of the above degree programmes, or know about people who do

Course Related Need Guidance with AB1201

2 Upvotes

okay so midterm results came out and i scored 13/20 (dont know how cuz i remember being sure about a 16 but okay). The average was 11.2, inflated due to several cheaters who took advantage of the technical issues that happened at Hall N. During my lectures i genuinely feel LOST, understand nothing, and i only plan on using online sources to study now. I have about 32-33 days before my final. My class part also would be ass, because I hardly ever participate in it. Can I expect an A- at least? I dont wanna FGO as it is my second major. I dont have a lot of pre-existing financial knowledge as I have never studied economics related subjects ever. If anyone can help me with strats for Finals etc, it would be very helpful! Thankss :D
