<p>hehe...yeah def hope to see u in singapore!!! </p>
<p>hayden seems all set for singapore...he has been askin me very..ahem.....important questions abt there........ :p</p>
<p>i juz got a call for the smu scholarship interview for bizz.... kinda last min.... lol</p>
<p>oooh what? the quality of chicks? :p</p>
<p>tt and some other stuff ;)</p>
<p>My perception of SMU is that the interview has become less significant in the admissions process over the years as the school is receiving better applicants with higher scores, grades, ECs, etc. However, a generally poor candidate can swing the odds of admission up with the group interview - that's the beauty of its flexibility as a business school. Of course, candidates with unfavourable records are usually unable to to take full advantage of this flexibility because these tend to correlate.</p>
<p>Perhaps more relevant for those who are mediocre candidates but want to enter the new ISB-modelled scholars program ie the double, is to ace the group interview and follow it up afterwards with the interviewing professors and admissions staff to seal the deal unlike the others who just leave (and leave things to fate). Well, that's what I did, anyway. </p>
<p>Oh, and the essay component I felt to be very insignificant.</p>
<p>yeah, my interview was crap... and some of my friends felt the same way to... we suspect we got our double deg/1st choice solely due to Alevel grades n sat scores... :p</p>
<p>as long as u open ur mouth and say soemthing remotely meaningful, u shud be ok......</p>

<p>The multi-purpose FutureCard will be the version of our perpetually metamorphosing IC in the near future. With an embedded smart chip, it can also be used as a passport, store our medical history, driver's license, act as an ATM card, serve as an electronic purse and even be used at the National Library...what ever you do with the card...you will be tracked! It may also be a tracking device via GPRS (Good or Bad, depending the situation) However, a recent debate has brought to light the questionable control on access, potential information abuse and privacy infringement. As the debate rages on, I can foresee a likely scenario when ordering pizzas in the near future...</p>
