Rejected from NUS Computer Science with cGPA 3.98.

Context

I took 2 days to mentally process my application rejection… I applied to all NUS SoC programmes and yet I got offered my 6th choice mechanical engineering. Honestly this is getting out of hand. Yesterday I also saw someone got rejected from NUS CS with 88.75 RP.

I am from the IT diploma, got a decent enough portfolio (I participated a few hackathons and even WorldSkills), did a few certifications and have an exco role in the IT Interest group.

My cGPA is 3.98, I scored A1s for both amath + emath and I am a Singaporean. I dont understand how I even got rejected from all the other SoC programmes like wtf is going on in NUS this year?

How ridiculous are the NUS admissions this year? What is the point of me studying so hard and 1-man carrying grp projects if I cant even make it into my dream school and degree I’ve eyed on since secondary school?

Im just so done with life rn… Anyone else in the same situation as me?

Here are what netizens think

  • People with IT diploma are literally the most compatible for CS degree it will be a walk in a park for you compared to those 90rp-er JC students

    I suspect NUS messed up with your admission you should get back to them because like other posts here many who deserved to be in the course didn’t get the one they want.
  • If u really want to get in, I suggest you take a gap year and work on your portfolio, if you’re gg ns just apply again next year. I was rejected from all the unis I applied during my first application, even those courses I thought I can 100% get in with my rp.

    I even wanted to go to a private uni because I lost all hopes, but decided to just take a gap year and work on my portfolio. My second application I managed to get into my first choice and most likely because that year was less competitive or maybe my extra work experience helped. So dun lose all hopes!! You can def make it in if you want to!
  • Yea i feel u bro…I just barely met the 10th percentile and have a pretty stacked portfolio (competitions, hackathons, relevant internship experience, CCA exco & leadership positions, answered ABA questions to the best of my ability, Singaporean, met math requirements, community service/active volunteer… u get the point).

    I guess the competition is just that crazy, or maybe spots for poly students are cut down significantly, but judging from the recent posts in this sub, i dont even know what to think anymore. Even with ABA, even someone like you can’t enter?

    Something must be terribly wrong. Nevertheless, there’s still NTU, SMU, SIT, SUTD, etc to choose from and even next year to apply (if u die die want NUS) so don’t be too hard on yourself, you tried your best. Keep ur head up bro
