Fun fact:


The most popular overseas country to study in for Singaporean students is in UK with Ausratlia at number 2 position.

The most expensive however is U.S. The cost to study that is about $182,000 for 4 years.

Was doing some research and come across these figures here: https://www.sc.com/sg/stories/singapore-kids-to-study/

Is your child a strong student? With a good CCA record? If so, then it's probably not so useful. I see you posted on the RGS thread, and if your daughter will be RI, the advisors there are quite good. I'm not saying that you shouldn't pay attention to working on your daughter's portfolio, but I would save money and just do some reading up online for the advice. Some of the things you can prepare now, at sec 3, would be to make sure she puts in decent effort at her academic work, and does more with her CCA to show leadership, good performance, good character, or something strong that will make her stand out. If there will be an interview in her future, then it would be good that she practise thinking independently about a wide range of issues, and be willing to discuss things and \"think on her feet\".

I personally don't believe, beyond doing the above, that polishing a portfolio will make much difference to chances of admission to a top university. They are so swamped with applications from stellar students that even if your daughter is among the best, it's often a case of luck, I feel. Where it may help is if the student is not very strong, and trying to get into a better university that is not very competitive. But if your daughter is not at that level, I don't think it will do much good.

This is my personal opinion.

Approximately 500-600k. It was discussed briefly in the NUS/NTU medicine thread.

Hi,


Do we need a prefect score to apply for Oxbridge? Or Imperial ? Thanks

[newkeynesian]

I think deep pocket is a far more important consideration than perfect scores. England needs more overseas students now than before.
