Does anyone know why SUTD stopped the SHARP program? It was one of the main reasons I planned to apply and it's no longer accessible

Indonesian applicant applying to POSTECH, DGIST and KAIST for mechanical engineering. Looking for full tuition aid.

Predicted 3A stars and A in a levels (math,further math, physics, chemistry)

ECs I'm not sure what to add but here are my general list:

Other than those there are some hobbies: basketball club, band club, weekly running, game show hosting and etc. Hit 15k trophies at CR so that's that as well.

Worried about prospects mainly because of my low percentage, I really like the small faculty ratio that POSTECH has being 5:1 and KAIST seems like a good university as well. Do I have a chance?

I’m an Indonesian high school student applying to U.S. colleges for next cycle.

Some schools require a course-by-course evaluation with GPA, but I won’t get my final Ijazah/diploma until after graduation. Has anyone done a WES/ECE/SpanTran/IEE evaluation using only current high school transcripts before the final diploma came out?

Also, my school gives numeric grades but uses a strict scale where 92–100 = A and 85–91 = B. If I have a lot of 91s, would evaluators usually count those as B’s because of the school scale, or use their own percentage conversion?

Mainly trying to know which evaluator is safest for U.S. scholarship GPA conversion.

I’ll just leave this here.

> “Hatsune Miku V6” utilizes the Vocaloid 6 AI engine. This allows for more realistic and expressive singing, improving on the traditional sample-based, manual-tuning methods.

That should already be enough.

Yamaha’s own description of VOCALOID:AI makes it even clearet

> the synthesizer “makes its own expression, sometimes in a way that the creator would never have thought of.”

That is the problem. That is exactly what people criticize generative AI for. The software is no longer just a neutral instrument following the artist’s intent. It is making expressive choices by itself WITHOUT PERMISSION.

The Vocaloid6 page also says:

> “VOCALOID6 uses AI technology to generate a highly expressive singing voice that’s more natural than ever before.”

So the vocals are generated. The expression is generated. The performance is generated by AI.

Stop supporting the VOCALOID industry. This is no different than the rest of the ai vocals out there, they replaced an instrument with SLOP.
