<p>hello everyone!!</p>

<p>I am an IB student and would like to know if NUS really needs SAT scores together with IB scores to grant admission to an international student. I know it's written on the NUS website that there is a minimum score that they need, but do SAT scores really improve your chances of being accepted as an international student?</p>

<p>I will be applying for chemical or electrical engineering. I would be glad if any of you could help!! :)</p>

<p>From the NUS site (keep in mind that this still refers to the Fall 2010 admission cycle):</p>

<p>Just to add to that, it’s probably a smart idea to make sure you get your application outcome well before July, even if it means taking the SAT. School starts in August and there are a number of things you’ve to do before coming to NUS (apply for a visa, apply for accommodation etc), so it’s good to have some time in hand.</p>

<p>but if i don’t qualify for admission through the SAT, won’t that mean that i have to wait for my actual IB results anyway to determine the outcome of my application?</p>

Yes, you will have to wait for the official IB results before you get your admission decision.</p>
