<p>Hi guys, just recieved back my MYE results and the result was very bad
I talk to one of my teacher who seems to know very little about college admission in US and she said that the schools will send in my transcript meaning this MYE also.
While i talk to another teacher and she said that each college will ask for ur transcript, meaning u can send in anything as long as it satisfies school’s requirements.
So do i need to send in MYE for US uni, esp Stern? thanks guys</p>
<p>Idk about stern, but iirc some schools like berkeley ask for your mid year exam report.</p>
<p>i thought midyear report= prelims result. i really hope that they dont force me to send in mye :(</p>
<p>some schools ask for both. anw i don’t think they’ll care much as long as there’s an upward trend in your grades…</p>
<p>My seniors told me that we choose to submit and not to submit what we want, there is no real monitoring system? I mean is it even possible? Sorry, im just a little bit worried here. I mean u just include the teachers recs/reports and then a seal then mail it by urself, u choose which transcript to submit to them?
if that is true, then the bottom line is just promo/prelim/o level/pw/predicted grade</p>
<p>Hi guys i’m new here. I’m actually doing my ns now and I took a few APs to compensate for my A level econs and physics which I got B and C respectively. I got 5 for all my APs ( Econs and Physics B) and I was wondering if this actually helps my overall presentation in any way?</p>
<p>Hello, I am new here. I am doing my A-level now…my exams in November…I have taken SAT 2 times…both times I got the same score of 1920…my writing sucks…I got only 530…so can anyone tell me how to improve my writing…is there any centre in Singapore where I can get coaching for my writing…pls help. One more thing…can I take my SAT in Jan and still send my scores to unis???</p>
<p>Question for all the SG students studying in the US now - is it better to set up a US$ checking account with Citibank or HSBC here for use in the US (can it be done at all, or are Citibank/HSBC Singapore separate from Citibank/HSBC USA?), or should I just wait till I arrive in the US to set up a bank account? </p>
<p>I notice that for example the Citibank US website offers student accounts and student credit cards that Citibank Singapore doesn’t seem to have - if that’s the case, I might as well wait till I arrive in the US?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It would help - but how much is entirely up to each school’s admissions department since you still have to send in your A-level scores in any case.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Get some of the writing specific practice books on sale at Kino or Borders. Practice more. I think most private universities do accept January scores - but check with your specific universities’ admissions website for more information I guess.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Set your account up over there. The banks over in Singapore might not have good presence over in the US (though of course NYU, being in NYC, might be an exception).</p>
<p>hey any ideas whether foreigners studying in singapore are required to take toefl for admission?</p>
<p>nope, u dont need to</p>
<p>Echo frankchn; I don’t think you can setup USD acc here. Set up a Citibank acc in SGD here, and a Citibank acc in USD there. Citibank has a Global Transfer program so the fees are less.</p>
<p>Foreigners studying in Singapore will probably need to take TOEFL. Michigan is one I recall, in particularly.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You can, but you won’t really want to.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Thanks for your advice, it really helped. I didn’t overprepare, but made sure all of my documents were in neat order so I wasn’t as flustered as those people who were actually stuffing their documents randomly into unsealed Fedex envelopes. My interview took something like 30s, and to share the experience: </p>
<p>“Why do you intend to travel to the United States?”
“Oh, I’m planning to study full-time, and I’m thinking of majoring in physics.”
“How are you paying for your education?”
“I have a scholarship from my school; and my parents will be covering the remaining expenses.”
“Okay, your visa is approved.”</p>
<p>I didn’t touch any of my supporting documents! Wow.</p>
<p>P.S.: And oh, I swear the girl before me really got grilled after she mentioned that she was going to major in language arts or something of that sort. Teehee - science FTW.</p>
<p>@flyfan111: Yes I think you’re able to take the Jan SAT and still submit it in. Just make sure you check with the schools’ admissions office first. It shouldn’t be a problem. My friend did that and the office told her it was fine and to submit the scores as soon as she got them. Just remember to give the heads up first!</p>
<p>Hey guys. 
I’m American, arriving in Singapore on Sunday with my family. I’m going to attend NUS FASS for a year and then go back to the US for school, probably UC Berkeley. Having local knowledge about the university, do you think I made a good decision? Will this be a good school year for me, or should I have just deferred schooling and traveled?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Thanks frankchn for the reply…so nice of you to take time out and help us all…thanks once again</p>
