About me: ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ
helloo~ I'm Nadya and I'm a year 2 accountancy undergraduate at the National University of Singapore. I currently have a very strong interest towards sustainable finance and I'm working hard to land a career in that field. I make videos about university life and other random stuff I feel like creating content on hehe :D Glad you’re here watching my adventures!

Thank you very much, Nadya. I'm curious about whether you receive a tuition grant and what you believe are the criteria for obtaining one (both academically and non-academically). I ask because I'm aiming to attend NTU or NUS (M25, currently doing the IB). I've also watched your other videos and found them very helpful. However, one video where you mentioned feeling heartbroken due to scoring below the median in your math module made me think that your GPA might not be very high. Yet, in another video, you mentioned achieving a GPA between 4.7 and 4.83 when transferring majors, which has left me a bit confused. Could you please explain how the scoring system works?
Hi! I chose to not get a tuition grant due to the 3-year bond that comes with it, but I know I would be able to get it if I choose to. Honestly though, now that I'm in Singapore, I don't think the bond is that bad, because I'm okay with working in Singapore now (it was scary thing for me back then).
As for NUS scoring system, the website provides a very good explanation (www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/academic-information-policies/modular-system). I exercised the S/U option for that math module (www.usp.nus.edu.sg/curriculum/academic-structure/satisfactory-unsatisfactory-s-u-options/).
@@nadventures TYSM. Just curious if NUS workload is significantly higher than IB workload, and if so, what is the safe actual IB grade required to guarantee a place into NUS or NTU for engineering-related majors? I've heard that NUS doesn't care about predicted grades.
@@minhanhle2863 Significantly higher workload, I don't think so. However, it depends on how hard you studied during IB and whether you choose to overload in NUS (I've been overloading for all semesters except y2s1, so I'm constantly busy).
As for IB grade, the international students I know are all in the 43-45 range. The range is way lower for Singaporeans (less than 40 may still be acceptable for them but not for international). And yes, they don't care about predicted grades.
@@nadventures This comment section surprised me because, except from extremely difficult courses like Med and CS, I assumed that a 41+ would be rather safe for almost all majors. I was wondering if you manage to be a top student (GPA>4.5) at NUS if everyone in your network scored 43+ on the IB?
@@Nori-tx4px Yea, my GPA is on the higher end. I think 41+ could be a possible range too honestly, but all the data I have is based on my friends so I'm not very sure.
