Nope. It never is too late.Originally posted by polarsnake:I already take Arts in jc, too late liao
In the first place, you said that one reason why you didn't take up the RSAF offer is because you would have to go for BMT too soon. Well, I suggest that you take some time off to really think long and hard about it. You don't have to take up their offer now; surely you can always enlist again a few months down the road. Unless if I'm badly mistaken, of course.
Another course of action for you to take would be to go to poly and enrol in aeronautical engineering. I advise you to consider this route only if you're really, really determined to work in the line of aviation. Because you realise that if you follow this route, you would have practically wasted two years in JC doing something totally unrelated to aviation.
But if the dream is big enough, the facts don't matter. It would take around six years from poly to uni to get a degree in aerospace. If you're really committed to making your dream reality, then it can be done.
Cheer up, yah. It ain't over till it's over.

Eh, from http://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/apply/prerequisite.htmOriginally posted by polarsnake:I already take Arts in jc, too late liao
Must have A lvl maths n phys, if not have physcis, can take bridging modules ... hmm, so that means u got a slight chance ??? -
but the minimum is still A level mathsOriginally posted by gd4u:Eh, from http://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/apply/prerequisite.htm

Ok, speaking from experience, I can say the following:Originally posted by gd4u:Eh, from http://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/apply/prerequisite.htm

The NUS prerequisites for Mechanical Engineering are misleading. It is definitely not enough to just have an A Level pass for Maths and Physics and/or Chemistry.
In reality, you MUST have a strong foundation in both Physics and Maths. Chemistry is not an important prerequisite, though it would be an advantage to have it as well. In Mechanical (and subsequently, aerospace) engineering, you'll be doing advanced Maths and Physics again and again and again until you puke. Then you wipe up the mess and do it all over again.
I am not trying to discourage polarsnake. Far from it - you can see how I told her that it's not over yet. However, I am being direct with the truth here. No strong foundation in both Maths and Physics leads to one hell of a time in Engineering. Really. -
Tt's y i more or less decided not to go into engineering next time ...

hmm is it a different case for bioengineering? Which science - Physics or Chemistry, is more important?Originally posted by fudgester:Ok, speaking from experience, I can say the following:

Aiyah my other passion is Geography mah, so still ok lah

Singapore no rocks for u to studyOriginally posted by polarsnake:Aiyah my other passion is Geography mah, so still ok lah -
Lol, there's more than rocks n soil n water to geography ...Originally posted by striderz_o405:Singapore no rocks for u to study -
study how many people are needed to sink singapore?Originally posted by gd4u:Lol, there's more than rocks n soil n water to geography ... -
Hmmm... that's a good way of decribing the carrying capacity of Singapore.Originally posted by striderz_o405:study how many people are needed to sink singapore? -
and to ask the gahmen to stop digging holes. They are not digging for goldOriginally posted by polarsnake:Hmmm... that's a good way of decribing the carrying capacity of Singapore.

not that interested in pursuing aeronatuical eng though (heard of many guys in ME who want to take that up) im actually more keen onto taking up biomechanics. yea!

geography lao shi~!!Originally posted by polarsnake:Aiyah my other passion is Geography mah, so still ok lah 
*respect* i used to fail my geog all the way in sec 1 and 2...horrigible.. -
yr 1 bioengineers take up alot of rojak modules. i have alot of friends in bioeng, and they take modules like computing, physics, material science.. dunno for what? you'll be surprised...Originally posted by striderz_o405:hmm is it a different case for bioengineering? Which science - Physics or Chemistry, is more important?
eg. chem eng has not much link to chemistry..
but anyway, physics and maths are very impt in ANY engineering course.. u cant escape..
sad case..~ -
Good luck~!

As I mentioned earlier, I am highly perplexed as to why the NUS admissions allow you to have either Physics or Chemistry as part of the admission criteria. The bottom line for ANY engineering course is this: you MUST have a solid foundation in Physics and Maths. Anything less, and you'll be screwed very badly.
If I'm not wrong, NTU actually allows A Level Arts students to go into engineering. In fact, NTU has a more established aerospace department than NUS. They provide additional basic Physics and Maths classes to those without A level Physics and Maths.
However, I strongly recommend against going there, either. Imagine having to catch up with two years' worth of A level syllabus in a compressed amount of time while studying B.Eng level at the same time. It'll be pure hell, I can imagine. -

I never considered it at all - I have no background in Biology.
The hottest specialisation of all is Oil and Gas, followed by Aeronautical. I suppose the petrochemical and aerospace industries are still hot in Singapore, and demand for engineers in both industries is high. -
Hmm, nice coverage of the engineering faculty there ...
But hor, off topic liao ... (**Searches for the road sign pic) -
