hello hello! haha i know my bloggie is very dead. so i am going to update now since the last post is like a month ago.
i had my SMU economics interview yesterday. it was my second choice as i put business management as my 1st choice. but to be honest, i feel lucky that i get economics instead. sound contradicting yeah?
because after looking through the information about economics thoroughly, i feel that economics has a much more broader curriculum and career prospects as compared to business management.
and i am a very practical person. after reading an article from the strait times, it stated that courses with top earnings- SMU economics (cum laude and above), with an average salary of $4164.
another thing that attracts me towards SMU is their offer for double degree programmes and second major. hence even though i am not able to take up a double degree currently (due to my grades since i didnt do exceptionally well), i may still have an opportunity to take it if i do well in my 1st year. that's how flexible SMU can be.
from the beginning, i never consider SMU as one of my priorities and i have been so sure that i want to go NUS science for majoring in maths. but somehow, my heart seems to start wavering. hmm, i still not sure if i will be accepted since the interview was just yesterday. however, everything went quite smoothly. and yes, the competition was quite tough. there were 2 professors as the interviewers and 8 of people including me, were interviewed at the same time. i should say i am lucky since the questions they asked were simple and were predicted by me beforehand. otherwise, i believe i might just stunned. haha. the other interviewees were really great. they really grabbed their opportunities well and spoke quite alot and eloquently so i really got to see how each individual really performed. luckily, i volunteered to speak first otherwise i definitely would be pressurized by their bombastic speeches and fluency during the interview.
the ambience wasn't very tense but just that it wouldnt be nice if you just kept quiet throughout the interview.
one thing which i am still not sure if i want to go SMU, is that i dont know whether i am a person who is willing to keep on talking and participating in tutorial lessons. Class participation is one of the most important assessments in SMU thus it will affect the grades adversely.
anyway, i should just worry about that after i get to know what courses i am offered by the universities. and yeah, for extra information to the others who are waiting for the universities, i somehow caught a glance at the SMU banner which mentioned that the common acceptance will be closed at 1 june (if i am not wrong). in other words, it means that we'll know by latest may. is that a good news? (: so i hope everyone will get the course they desire! (:
and yupp, i'll be going japan during june! i had already booked the air tickets and this is the first time i'll be going so far with my friend! i am so excited and really looking forward to it. haha. but it's only a 6 days trip :( i wanted to find a longer trip but cant find any. maybe i'll go again at the end of the year? haha. i'm hoping that it will not clash with my selection of courses.
as for now, i'm just teaching tuition and going out with my friends. nothing interesting and fun in my life. i want to spend more time with my friends if possible since i believe that when school reopens, there may not be much time available for meeting-ups. i really hope that august will not come so soon, so that i can enjoy more! heh heh. okay, i know i am lazy XD
that's all for now and i will tell you guys more again soon (:
here are some pictures which were taken with sabby during our girls' time!
