How to fill in the five choices for uni applications? They are veryyyy important. Because there's that chance that I won't be accepted into NBS. I dunno. I'm planning to aid in tjf's murder of people with 3/4 H2 A's and applying for NBS this year to safeguard my place into NBS...
Evil thoughts aside, I really have no idea what to fill in. Engineering? Environmental Engineering sounds okay. But apparently NUS EE is better since the 10% Percentile cut-off grade is like AAA/A while that for NTU is ABB/B. Granted, class size for NUS's is smaller but still.
And I was thinking of Maritime Studies (NTU)... but is shipping really my thing? I know nothing of shipping. What if I don't like to watch cargo ships pulling in and out of supposedly one of the busiest ports in the world everyday? And what if someday they really decide to cut a canal through the area between Thailand and Malaysia and build a new port there (yes, so it may take centuries, but still). I mean, the space for growth in that industry is so puny. At least, from my extremely limited POV.
Then there's also Computer Engineering. Immediately I thought of Apple. What if one day during the course, I actually have this spark in my head that shines brighter than Einstein's lightbulb, inspiring me to create some new mechanism for Apple? Like... well, like an iPad that's double-sided or foldable, etc. Urh, don't ask me the point of such inventions. I've no idea. I was just brainstorming - and brainstorming is very fundamental in the creativity process.
Anyhows, you get the idea!
Damn, I wish Open House was later. I've so many questions now that I see more options opening up just in case NBS doesn't work. You see, me getting worried is like losing faith. This is VERY bad. I have to have faith that God will help me get into the school even with my lackluster results /:
Then again, diving straight in, filling only the first choice and submitting the application would be more foolish than being a good little Christian devotee. So there. Fretting justified.
Okay, back to the topic. So if I have Business, Accountancy, Environmental Engineering, Computer Engineering, Maritime Studies (yucks)... oh. Ohhhhhhh. That's five already. Oh.
Now I just need to prioritise.
KILL ME.
