No grantee you'd get selected? ...Hmm okay  ::)

if I was in your Place  I won't let go of that FULL Scholarship and I'll surely Save my seat in that Uni (Wyoming Uni in your case).

if god forbid you didn't get accepted in NUS ,wouldn't you feel quite depressed other than the fact that you'll regret NOT joining Wyoming Uni.

Keep your dreams HIGH but don't let go of a Golden Opportunity ;)

Good Luck =D

Take the scholarship.
With a degree you can do an MSc/Phd wherever.
And you will be maybe $50000 better off.
