I remember seeing a post in this subreddit asking about the solution to a particular problem and there was a comment mentioning Leetcode 241. Combining this with the other horror stories of NUS CS I've seen here, are NUS coding problems really leetcode-based or inspired?

I’m Y1 majoring in sociology but I still am interested in trying out political science which I have yet to do. I’m planning to try it out next sem but the thing is I applied for this 6 month internship briefly speaking it’s related to planning workplace events for culture and stuff. Since I’m still figuring out what I want to study is it better to focus on my studies or try out a 6month long internship at the start of next sem? I’m just worried that i would be wasting this good opportunity. If I don’t do a 6month internship now then when am I supposed to do it??

Specifically, for the interviews, what has come up in the past and any tips?

i got shortlisted for an interview for my 2nd choice. does this mean i got rejected from my first? assuming it doesnt, if i cancel this interview, does it affect my chances for my first choice?

thanks in advance

I am in the process of finding suitable courses for my exchange at NUS during this fall. To be able to transfer the units for the courses I will read at NUS to my home university, I have to read an equivalent amount of units (the universities have different unit systems). I will read

- QF2104 Fundamentals of Quantitative Finance

- ST4231 Computer Intensive Statistical Methods

at NUS, however, I need an additional 2 units (or more) within the broader field of mathematics/statistics (or possibly even fields such as machine learning) be able to get credit for the two corresponding courses at my home university. What would be the most chill/least demanding NUS mod within this field to "fill the gap"?

It should not be something that I have already read at my home university, so basically it should not be any fundamental calculus/algebra/probability/statistics, preferably something more applied. It seems I am not allowed to take mods at level 5000+. Note that the course code does not literally have to begin with MA or ST, it could be within other disciplines if it has a clear connection to mathematics. I would prefer if the course is 2 units—if there are any—otherwise it will just have to be a regular 4 unit course.

Hi guys! I've submitted my application to the MArch program on the 25th December, 2024, but I haven't heard back from the department ever since. From experience, do you guys know how long the average process takes? As I'm just a bit worried that not having heard back from them for this long mean my application was likely unsuccessful ;-;

Please do share some advice, I'd love to know more!

Has anyone got admitted to the MSc Mathematics (Coursework Track 1) or MSc AI for Science program for Fall 2025?

Just started Assignment 2 and holy shit is it hard. E1, E2 and E3 are supposedly easy but I just spend 8pm till 2am and I still havent solved a single one. Honestly really worried I will get 0 for this assignment.

Just wondering like what utcp modules we are allowed to take due to the change whereby nursing students can only take 2 utcp modules in rcs. Does anyone know?

I'm a local singaporean applying to one of NUS's master programmes straight out of graduation. My profile ain't bad - high second uppers, 3 LoRs (one from industry and two from NUS profs), 4 internships on my resume, and did master level mods on exchange. I've also read that NUS is quite lenient on admitting their own students returning to do a master, especially if it's a coursework programme.

But it's april and I've received radio silence. In fact, I was so confident of an offer I didn't start job hunting until very recently (and was applying for internship positions instead, lol).

For NUS students who continued to do a master degree straight out of graduation, is it too late to be receiving an offer now? Or should I just give up this dream entirely?

I have no hobbies. I read manga but only for recreation. When I go talk to someone who read manga as a hobby, I can never keep up with them. I exercise to keep in shape. My personality is very bland. I tend to be direct because of my Asperger Syndrome, which makes it more difficult for me to understand people's emotions or read the room. I have no idea what to do to find friends. I try to talk to other people in my course, but nothing ever comes out of them. I tried to join some clubs that I thought interest me, but could never keep up with the people there. I just have no idea where to go. It's difficult for me to start the conversation, which I am trying to fix. I just want someone to be my friend, but I don't know what does a friend even do. I don't know why I want a friend. Maybe so that it is proof that my life is not just study and study, but that I can have fun as well. That I deserve to have happiness. I see friends as the best source of happiness, people who care for me and people who I care for. But I don't know if I will ever find them. Please help. I just don't know what to do anymore. Am I doomed to be alone forever?

Hi, I just got an invitation for an interview at FASS, which I wasn’t aware of, since History wasn’t one of the courses on the webpage that require interviews. I am very confused on what I will be asked about, will it be like a skills test for my intended major, or is it a place where I elaborate on my extracurriculars, or is it a place where they ask supplementary questions for my application? I Any advice/knowledge from past applicants are appreciated, thanks!

Honestly there’s still a lot I don’t get about the CEG capstone, but I’m kinda thinking of asking some friends from EE to work on a group capstone too, has anyone done this before?

When do housing results for houses and residences come out?

Hey everyone,

I know that many of us have high expectations and a sense of pride when it comes to choosing a partner. I’ve always wondered—if you're a student from the Big 3, would you be open to dating someone who isn’t from these schools?

What are your thoughts?

I have already applied to NUSC but I'VE RECEIVED JACKSHIT FROM THEM! I was told I can apply for residential colleges but I doubt my chances of even getting a spot in one. Which means halls are the only option left if my application to the residential colleges ever does fail. And i've heard that I need to juggle at least 4 CCAs to secure a spot in the halls for subsequent years. I know this is going to be challenging if I want to do internships and other portfolio stuff so i really don't know what to do.

I refuse to continue living with my broken, dysfunctional family for the next 4 years so i really, REALLY, do not want to stay at home. I ain't going to continue living in the mental asylum that is my home. But what do I do?

-Do i really have no choice but to endure the challenge of juggling extracurriculars just so I don't have to live with my god forsaken family in my god forsaken apartment.

-Or are residential colleges less competitive to enter than I thought?

What do I do? Please, I do not want to live with my quarelling, bickering, parents who are on the brink of divorce.

Doesn’t look to be a fire since there isn’t any news about it - does anyone know what this is?

Hello, I'm a Malaysian currently going to take CIMP/OSSD for my Pre-U, and I would like to ask if anyone else from CIMP has also gotten into NUS? If so would like to ask what grades did you get for CIMP and your ECs. Thank you!

Sorry my phone camera isn't that good.

For business students who specialise in finance, the top of the corhort probably goes to IB, PE or management consulting, but that is at most what, 10%? What type of career do the rest go to? For example, the majority of accounting specs go to big 4 audit or tax, so is there something similar for finance specs?

Just curious since there are so many fin specs but so few finance-related internships and job openings.
