[@minesolve]

Wow thanks Cherie for the comprehensive guide. I probably fk up joining NUS Biz this year as a freshmen. Due to COVID, there weren’t any orientation and the terrible schedule for all the zoom lectures (feels Iike a online Uni 😂)... Guess it’s the worst time to join Uni this year hahaha.

[@cheriepaw]

minesolve Im so sorry to hear about the virtual experience - you can still make it a comeback and silver lining once COVID19 goes away and it’s safe to meet physically in classrooms :) So glad this video helped you and other freshmen - that’s why I made it! Keep on going.

[@someshsalunke2731]

Hi, thanks a lot for this video. I am matriculating into NUS this year and you literally covered every single aspect to great detail. I just finished my registration and wanted to ask regarding the QET which you need to take before year 1. How was the experience and how did you do for the test?

[@cheriepaw]

somesh salunke hey!! so I didn’t have to take the QET but from the friends I have that took it, they said that if you put in the work you should be able to pass with no problem! x all the best and I hope this helps you

[@cheriepaw]

thank you vrinda~! really appreciate your encouragement. honestly, relating to archi, I'd really love to help and comment but I don't know enough. do reach out on reddit / facebook groups / telegram groups, or perhaps an architecture senior specifically to learn more :)

[@limwilfred1336]

Hi can you please tell me can I still get an admission into nus business school if I haven't taken mathematics in my 12th grade plz reply

[@linweilin1293]

Hello!!! thanks for the effort :)) really really liked it =D I just want to ask abt the orientation this year, is there any news...? i cant seem to find on the website :/

[@cheriepaw]

Hello! I’m so sorry but I’m personally not very sure about orientation (it’s literally been 4 years ago for me lol) Do e-mail your faculty or please ask your direct seniors as they’d be the ones planning the camps! :)

[@nia_carat]

PSAT is necessary for nus

[@kashishvarshney5587]

Hi Cherie, thank you so much for this video! Just wanted to ask, can we apply for scholarships in second/third/fourth year or can we only apply for it in the first year?

[@cheriepaw]

Kashish Varshney Hi hi awesome question - so for some scholarships you can only apply before (like NUS Global Merit Scholarship, NUS Merit Scholarship), and some where you can apply throughout your 4 years. you may wanna check! generally, there’s multiple awards and bursaries, and for some scholarships (bonded to a company), you can apply any time! hope this helps and definitely apply because there’s many out there (just need to find them)

[@vaheen5168]

Hey I need a help . I am doing my 12 th grade in a CBSE school in India . I would probably receive my board results at the month of May 2021-2022 .so how can I fill the nus application form ?

[@mcl1224]

Hi, just wondering how were you able to complete BSP3701X during the winter holidays? Were there any pre-requisites required?

[@cheriepaw]

Hey there! I believe there are pre-reqs. I managed to complete it because I'm in a programme called BLDP or Business Leadership Development Programme and we had to take the mod then.

[@Aayushpatil867]

I'm heard that for getting the full paid scholarship of nus we require the participation in sports...butt my sports background is zero ...but I owned world record certificate n Asia world record certificate can I get the scholarship on the basis of these?and I also participated in Guinness world record of aeronmy class ....can uh tell me the process it would help lot to me bcz I wanna do aeronautical/aerospace engineering at nus... I'm now in 12 std

[@cheriepaw]

Wow, that's super impressive! But really and honestly I don't think all scholarships need a sports background specifically, (so just please keep applying and who knows) Don't give up because it'll be worth it to at least try, just my thoughts

[@qwertyqwertyasdfghasdfgh8456]

How about the pantry? To cook food by yourself...

[@ShahidulIslam-sm1gj]

How can i get scholarship in Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine after 12 standard

[@raphaellabuenaflor5256]

To apply to NUS do you only need you AS grades? Or do they take into consideration you o level grades?

[@retropetroleum]

What's the significance of having law as your home faculty though? Does it make a difference on your actual degree?

[@cheriepaw]

The main difference was that if law was my home faculty I couldn't get the Biz scholarship and affiliation I wanted :) Hope that answers!

[@ShahidulIslam-sm1gj]

Hello how can i get 100 % scholarship in duke- nus after 12 standard please help

[@davinacampbell2221]

Do you have any idea what the Nus BBA programme covers?

[@cheriepaw]

this vid would help ya! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sISxep2miNKKjc0 I go through every module you'd need (jus needa make sure it's updated to your own batch's requirements) :) atb!!

im going to ntu wtf am i doing here

[@cheriepaw]

this made me laugh

[@amzngjay08]

Hi can I ask if you need ielts or toefl before applying in nus?

[@leeshianmatthew]

Thanks for making this video👍, I'm enrolling in 2 weeks, and I'm struggling a little navigatating through all the programmes in NUS.... Btw how did you manage 5 ccas😮 Do you think (or know) ppl in engineering field can juggle so many at once? (I'm going into EE) if so any advice?

[@cheriepaw]

Hi hi thanks for writing in and so glad it helped you x Yeah, 5 is a LOT so I only join CCAs I’m super passionate to learn about :) It can be energy draining but sometimes it depends on what you’re looking for in uni! I wanted to learn new skills and make new friends. Engineering is definitely a lotttt more stressful perhaps, and I can recommend perhaps around 3 and having a leadership position to learn too! Hope this helps!

[@eilisa3367]
