So was feeling bored at work today and randomly decided to log in to the NTU portal since it was the last school that hadn’t gotten back to me yet (only applied to the Big 3).

AND YOO 😭🎉 NBS accepted me yesterday HAHAHA.

But I’ve already made up my mind to pursue my studies at SMU instead since I live in the far east and SMU has always been my dream school hehe. But nevertheless, finally got some closure at least, so thank you NTU!

For those still waiting, please go check your JAP / NTU portal for your admission outcome! First window closes in 2 days!! NTU is not like NUS or SMU that will email you instantly LOL.

For context, i’m a polytechnic student.

**RLLY WANTED THAT NUT SHIRT FROM NTU THO

thank you SMU for accepting me into my first choice 😭🙏🏻

just graduated from poly and honestly was getting quite skeptical over the past few months since i was one of the few people around me who still had no offer for the longest time, and was awkwardly replying “haha no offers yet” during graduation last week 🫩.

coming from the Normal Academic stream, the journey definitely wasn’t the smoothest. went from sec 4 NA to polytechnic, and now finally to university. there were honestly many moments where i questioned whether i was “good enough” academically compared to others around me.

but i just wanted to put this out there for anyone who feels discouraged because of a slower start in life or school , it is genuinely still possible to make it to uni.

your path may not look as straightforward as others, but that doesn’t mean you cannot end up at the same destination eventually! all da best and see you smu after 🪖.

all the best to everyone still waiting for offers too. rooting for y’all 🙏🏻

SHINEEEEE to a rainy morning in singapore. Yet to receive my offers from the 3 unis

NTU- pls pls pls accept me, i will not wear the NUT shirt and parade around to ruin yaur name 🥜😓

NUS- Girl, you’re giving toxic partner, yk you’re the shit, yet you’re not giving me attention haisss. Damm G*** Y*** sia, know you’re the shit but dw give chance . except G*** Y*** give false hope 🥀🥀🥲

SMU- GIRLLLLL, let me in , i’ll do all the comm service you want me to do , i’ll expand your space to bencoolen, ill exterminate all the snakes (actual snakes) that roam the city campus😙😂✌🏻🐍

pls just take me in bro, im tired liao

update: SMU JS ACCEPTED ME LOL (13/5/26) TQSM TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SUPPORTED ME IRL AND VIA REDDIT!!!

I did my SMU SOA interview mid Apr and have not heard anything since.

Also saw a few post of mobs having interviews early apr- mid apr having dead silence as well.

I checked around the 2026 admissions google form and from what I can tell, there haven’t really been any new updates or offers since April (though I might be missing something, since the sample size online is pretty small).

I saw SOA intake is only around 200+ per year, so I’m not sure if the silence usually just means they’re still processing in batches, or if it’s more likely that most offers are already out at this point. Perhaps they r still processing offers but holy shit i’m SOOO damm impatient but oh ya js a rant lor, anyone else feel the same or nah.

holy shit man , tmr is the last working day of the week and for this entire week i was js eyeballing my email for an offer. I GOT NO offers yet. it’s been close to a month since my smu interview and i js did my ntu interview a week ish ago too 😭😭 nus silent too. all courses applied r biz + acc.

seeing all the a lvl kids getting mass offers from nus also kinda made me envious, but nothing much to worry since i didn’t apply for the CHS courses that mass dropped offers.

first window closes soon and i can’t help but feel defeated 🫩. For ref i came from a biz diploma with a high 3.6 grad gpa. If yall resonate with me then felt. cause i feel yall too

Hi all, I just completed my astronaut interview. I received a follow-up email confirming they’ve received my submission.

However, the email subject line shows:
“Holding Band Poly & A Levels opportunity has been received.”

Does anyone know what this “holding band” means? Thanks 🙏🏻

Hi everyone, just wanted to ask something.

I noticed that NTU Business and Accountancy are listed as two separate choices under apps and in the NTU website, but Accountancy is also under NBS, so I’m a bit confused how that works.

Why are they treated separately if both are under the same school?

Also, if someone wants to study Accountancy but gets Business instead, is there a way to choose later on or switch within NBS?

Thanks!
