As you guys know I have completed my Edexcel London A Levels and got 4A*A and I was hoping to redo the "A" to get "A*" and apply to NUS in mid March..the problem came up when I was selected for Mechatronics engineering(This is the engineering I want to do)by Wyoming university with a Full scholarship..but as you all know NUS is ranked top 10 in engineering and is one of the best!! but Wyoming is in top 100 engineering universities..so what do you guys think?..should I reject the offer and apply for NUS(with no scholarship but with Financial aid and no guarantee I shall get selected)..and I cannot apply to NUS if go to Wyoming because I would have to leave the country in December!!
-
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

Thankz Golden Girl :D..wow u are always first 2 reply :D :D
But u knw I will always think what would have been like if I was in NUS..I'm still trying to figure this out!! ;) ;)
Thankz again for the reply

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

Welcome Nexus :D
True but it's better to get hold of the Opportunity instead of regretting not doing so =]
Sure No probs :D No need to thank me ;)

On the other hand... Wyoming...where is that?
-
Thankz astarmathsandphysics for the reply
:)
Actually my scholarship for all 4 years is worth $115,000.
Wyoming is in US
so what do you say?
Hey Golden Girl,thatz what even my parents are telling me..lol..to grab the opportunity when I have the chance!!
-
I would take it. Wyoming is far from anything exciting though.
-
Haha , Cool =]
Good luck mate ;D
-

Can't you accept this offer and at the same time, apply for NUS ?

I can..but then I cannot repeat the "A" to get "A*" because i will be leaving in Dec. so my acceptance would be all time low!!
astarmathsandphysics,So Wyoming is not even close to Vegas at least?lol
-
I don't know where it is.
I imagine it's in the middle of nowhere.

I see. Still wanting to repeat that A ? =X
Have you done inquiry on that university ? As in- how are the staff, the facilities provided ?
-
LOL..yeah Romeesa~Chan,NUS is in Top 10 in Engineering so their teaching and facilities must be awesome!!

I was referring to Wyoming Uni.
-
A top 10 university for a SPECIFIC subject is typically not a name that a lot ogf people will recognise.
Some universities are very speciallised, and only people in that field will know whether that is a good degree or a bad degree.
Everyone might recognise that a degree from NUS is a good degree.
A degree in engineering from wyoming might be a better degree than an engineering degree from NUS because wyoming university speccialises in that area, but some might think it is the other way around because overall NUS is a better univer sity.
-
LOL..yeah Romeesa~Chan,Wyoming is in Top 100 in Engineering so their teaching and facilities must be Okay I guess!!Anywz any university says their reputation and teaching facilities are the best!!
Hey astarmathsandphysics,I think your point is really important..and is very tru..thank you for that important point!!

I agree with astarmathsandphysics
