Stpm has high possible to get into US and Sg uni?

Joelyn — Sun, 11 May 2014 13:16:37 +0800

Hello guys, I will take STPM 2014/2015.I made the decision to study Form Six as it is very cheap compare to any other pre-u and it provides wider range of choices after finishing it.

However, may I know is Stpm have the high chances to get accepted into top uni in US and SG?

As I know,SAT is needed to go to US uni, but since I am taking STPM ,can I take the SAT or should I say do I have the time to take SAT?

I know STPM need to study really hard . Since then, can I still participate in extra cocuriculum activities? I do not want to lose my life T_T ( AND CCC is also important to get in the uni in US right?)

Thanks in advance

Joelyn — Tue, 22 Apr 2014 15:38:28 +0800

Hello, so now I have decided to study Form 6 rather than A-levels. It's cheaper and have wider choice.

I planned to take bio and chemi (maths t and pengajian am compulsory right?does muet considered a subject?)as I may want to study nutrition in the future.

Could anyone share with me your life in Form 6? I know it will be tough as the scopes covered are very broad and deep.However,does that means I have no time to participate in extra co-curricular activities cause there are so much to learn and revise plus tuition,project works+++?

Can I participate in some community service during these period because it will be a crucial things to be considered if I intend to go to the Ivy leagues in US,UK or even Singapore.

YA,One more thing! I may want to take SAT .When and How shall I take ?

As the uni in UK,US start in AUG/SEPT,when and how shall I start to apply to those unis?

Thanks in advance for your help. I really appreciate.

Hello guys! I just got my SPM 2013 results and I got 9As .I have actually apply to polytecnics in Singapore but I am sad to say I did not get them.;(.So, I am considering STPM and A -level after that. Do you guys who have studied FORM 6 or A level could give me some suggestions or just kindly share out your experiences about these two pre-u?

Actually, I wish to pursue A level and have already got the offer letter from Tunku Abdul Rahman College(TARC).However, we all knows that studying A-level means that you can't get into a local public universities except USM right?So, my cousins suggest me to study STPM which is a lot cheaper and can have the choice of both public and private uniiversities .

In fact, I myself have a big dream to study abroad in those ivy legues(Harvard,Oxbridge,Yales...)(I never dare to told my parents due to financial problem).But, I think my financial status won't allow me to do this.Therefore, I need to have study hard and get scholarships to get closer to my dream. In your opinions, STPM or A-levels have the higher chances to get recognised and being accepted into these ivy leagues?

As I know, ivy leagues especially Harvard also emphasize a balance in both academic and extra co-curriculum activites.If I study A-levels or STPM,do I have the tiime to participate in many extra ccc activities? Thanks to you guys who have watched this post and please do give me some suggestions cause I really need! Thank you so much.
