Hello! Like many others i too am having a dilemma on which uni offer to accept. In NTU, i got offered psychology with the NTU-USP (university scholars programme) scholarship while in NUS, i got offered a psych with management double major (with psych as my primary major under CHS) with the NUS merit scholarship. For context, i'm hoping to have a more vibrant uni life than jc so overseas exposure, student life and the culture of the schools r important to me too!!
For the NUS merit scholarship, my benefits include: - Paid tuition fees - S$6,000 annual living allowance - S$2,000 one-time computer allowance - Guaranteed Student Exchange Programme (SEP) placement with one of NUS overseas partner universities for one semester (no priority given so may not be one of my top choices i'm assuming??)
For the NTU-USP scholarship, my benefits include: - Paid tuition fees - S$6,500 annual living allowance - S$1,750 one-time computer allowance - Annual accommodation allowance of up to S$2,000 - Travel Grant of up to $5000 for an overseas study/attachment programme -Overseas benefits: - Heavily subsidized Travel Overseas Programme for Scholars (TOPS) in the freshman year (1 week overseas fieldwork and research trip) - NTU-USP Study Abroad Programme, or - Priority placement in overseas universities through NTU's international student semester exchange
☆
Some of my concerns right now are: - i'm not yet sure if i fully wanna commit to a career in psych even though its something i'm passionate abt (will have to do master's at least, if not phd) so the double major in NUS might give me more opportunities to pursue smth else if i decide that psych is not for me + NUS CHS gives me the flexibility to change my major within the first 2 years

• i intend to do my master's (if i pursue psych) overseas so the prestige and brand name of NUS would prob give me some leverage to get into overseas unis i'm assuming
  
• i've been seeing a lot of ppl complain abt the CHS common curriculum which takes up 1/3 of the curriculum in my degree :") NTU has a common curriculum too but its much less than that of NUS so i get to study more mods related to my major, also heard from some seniors that a few unis dont recognise the NUS psych bachelors degree bcs the no. of AUs we study doesnt meet the min. requirement (although i'm not sure how true this is)
  
• the NTU-USP modules (which replace some of the common curriculum's core + electives) r taught in seminar style and not graded on a bellcurve so it might be better for me to learn in that type of environment esp bcs of the seminar style teaching method... and the core curriculum both in NUS and NTU doesnt rly interest me anw so maybe a seminar style would make it easier to learn these mods?
  
• overseas experiences r q important to me and it feels like i'll have more overseas opportunities in NTU-USP compared to NUS even though NUS has the guaranteed SEP... i also heard that its q competitive to get into exchange programmes in NUS bcs i'll be competing with all of FASS so if anyone has any insight into this, please do share!
  
• i'll have to stay in hall if i go to NTU which i have to pay for (abt $4000-$5000 annually so after the accommodation allowance, abt $2000-$3000 out of my own pocket every year) while i can travel to NUS from home... also i just moved in to a new house last month and it's newly renovated and rly comfy so i kinda also wanna enjoy the comforts of my own house😭
  
• i prefer the S/U and bidding systems in NUS more! In NUS, we can S/U the mod after seeing our grades while in NTU, we have to S/U the mod before seeing our grades for the final exam (which holds the highest weightage i assume) + in NUS, we bid for mods by ranking them according to our preference while in NTU, its on a fcfs basis! for more details on these systems, https://www.reddit.com/SGExams/s/awq4ocGYUr (note: NUS bidding system has changed to ranking by preference - factors like seniority, primary major and popularity of the mods affects the likelihood of getting them!)
  
• any seniors from NTU psych or NUS CHS pls share more abt the culture there!! like is it v competitive? are ppl generally willing to share notes and resources? is there a mugger culture? and r the ppl there v academically focused? aka do i have to grind like jc again :") i dont wanna sell my soul to the education system pls💀
  

☆
I've heard from seniors and profs that the psych mods have a steep bellcurve too and that its generally a competitive course in either uni so i guess i'll have to grind either way😭 it feels like i might have a more vibrant student life in NTU(?) while the culture in NUS seems more academically-driven, but FASS/CHS seniors, feel free to correct me! Also how r the campuses for the FASS block in NUS and the SSS block in NTU HAHAH i didnt get a chance to see them up close! Just hoping anyone can share any insights abt the respective unis and programmes and shed some light into my dilemma ^{^}
if u've made it this far, thank u for taking the time to read this post!! i'll just list some of the pros and cons of each uni below for easier reference but its basically just a summary of everything i've said above :D
☆
NUS:
Pros✅️ - flexibility to change my 1st and 2nd major within the first 2 years - psychology + management double major - guaranteed semester exchange programme (SEP) - no need to stay in hall, can travel from the comfort of my new house - i prefer its S/U system and bidding system - brand name and prestige could give me more overseas opportunities to pursue my master's
Cons❌️ - CHS common curriculum takes up 1/3 of my degree, less time to study my majors - fewer overseas opportunities compared to NTU-USP, guaranteed exchange programme may not be one of my top choices bcs its more competitive - have to study CHS common curriculum (which i'm not super interested in compared to my major) in lecture-tutorial style, which takes more effort for me from past jc experience
NTU:
Pros✅️ - more overseas experiences and opportunities (TOPS, priority for exchange programmes, USP study abroad, electives with overseas fieldwork components, etc) - small class sizes for USP modules which facilitates better learning for me personally! + provides a sense of community too - fewer modules for the common curriculum so more time to focus on my major - the hall experience could add to my uni experience esp in terms of student life + i have 4 years guaranteed hall + $2000 annual accommodation allowance
Cons❌️ - i dont really like the S/U system and dont prefer its bidding system (but have learnt some ways to work around the bidding system from seniors) - have to stay in hall away from the comforts of my own home + have to pay for hall - little flexibility to change my major once i enter uni + no double major with business (career backup if i give up on psych) - less prestige compared to NUS(?) not as much of a brand name
Okay thats about it!! Pls share your advice and opinions guys i have 5 days left to make a decision and i'm starting to panic a little😭😭 anyway thank you for reading my post and for any pieces of advice/comments yall leave!!

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some realistic advice and insights on my current job search situation in Shanghai. Here’s a bit about my background and what I’m facing:
My Background:

• Nationality: EU citizen
• Education: Studied in the UK for 5 years. I hold a BSc in Computer Science (First-class Honours) and an MSc in Advanced Computer Science (Merit).
• Experience: 3+ years in software development:
  • 2 years at a private company
  • 1 year at a government research agency working on control software for particle accelerators
  • All work experience was before & during my undergrad and postgrad studies (all full-time: office, remote, and placement year).
• Relevant Languages: Fluent in English (though not a native speaker), very limited Mandarin.

Visa Situation:

• Looking to stay in Shanghai for around 2 years.
• My passport doesn't allow long-stay multi-entry L visas. I’ve managed to get a 60-day single-entry L visa before (considered rare for my passport), but I’ve been told by the visa people that I can’t stay longer than 6 months within a 12-month period using short-term L visas.
• Therefore, I need to secure a work (Z) visa or, as a last resort, an X1 student visa (though scholarship applications for this year seem to be closed).

Job Search Efforts:

• Applied to over 200 jobs at 100+ companies (multinationals, domestic companies, schools, etc.) in the past 2 months.
• Used multiple job platforms: LinkedIn, Indeed, GlassDoor, LaowaiCarrer, eChinaCities, HiredChina, SmartShanghai, LiePin (猎聘), and ZhiLianTuiTui (智联推推).
• Applied to a variety of positions: software-related, IT and tech support, CS/Programming & ESL teaching, customer support call centers, SEO optimization, QA/Localisation, marketing, various internships, etc.
• I've been open and flexible in my job search, willing to make sacrifices in career progression for roles I may be overqualified for or not directly related to my background.

Challenges:

• Multinationals seem to only need seniors or team leads with many more years of experience and have, for the most part, ghosted me.
• Expat websites are flooded with listings for teaching jobs that have good benefits and (frustratingly) loose requirements but require native English speakers.
• Many English-related jobs (localization, proofreading, digital content creation, translation QA, user research, etc.) inexplicably require native English speakers. Despite being able to excel in these roles and achieve a high IELTS/TOEFL score if needed, I am deemed unqualified solely due to my passport.
• HR on Chinese job boards have shown a lot of interest in me, but most Chinese companies don’t seem to be currently hiring international talent.

Current Plan:

• Planning to stay in Shanghai later this year for as long as my tourist visa allows, to continue job hunting in person. I am hoping that this will simplify the process and improve my chances. I will have, at most, 3 months on my L visa.
• If during that time I still don't manage to secure work, I really won't know what else to do, as I may not be issued another L visa.

My Question:
I'm currently in a bind. With my background and qualifications, finding a good programming job in Europe wouldn't be too difficult. However, in Shanghai, it's been so challenging to find any job, even those I'm grossly overqualified for, no matter how much I lower my standards regarding career progression and compensation. Although I could find a remote job, that wouldn't solve my visa issue.
Given my qualifications and experience, what are the realistic chances of finding any job in Shanghai that provides a livable wage and normal work hours? Any advice on navigating the job market or improving my odds would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone been in a similar situation or have insights on making this work?
Thank you!

It's that time of the year where applications are beginning to close and everyone anxiously waits for their results. To reduce subreddit clutter, a master post has been created for everyone to discuss the results and ask questions. Last year's thread had live chat enabled, but this feature has since been removed from Reddit. To compensate, this post is set to automatically filter by the newest comment first, so please use it like a live chat and discuss with your fellow applicants as much as you please.
WARNING: Any posts about application results will be deleted and rerouted to this thread.

FAQ

Q. When are results released?
A. Results are usually released a month or so after the official application closing date. Sometimes it may take longer if you are applying to a larger consulate.
Q. How will I get my results?
A. Results are usually delivered through email. Some consulates may offer it through other means, but check your emails.
Q. I missed something in my application/forgot something/want to change something but the application is closed, could this affect my results?
A. Once the window for applications is closed, no changes can be made unless in a unique situation. This is a case by case basis and must be asked directly to your consulate or embassy. Whether or not this will effect your results is unknown, but the general thought process should be no effect if its legitimate.
Q. Will I get my documents back?
A. No.
Q. I applied through my university, when will I get my results?
A. University admissions are different than embassy. You would need to contact the university you applied to.
Q. I didn't get the interview, now what?
A. If you didn't get invited to the interview, don't worry. There's many other avenues and paths to higher education in Japan. The MEXT scholarship, in particular, has the University recommended route. This method of applying is completely different from the Embassy recommendation and specific to each school. Search up MEXT Scholarship + School's Name to find out how and where to apply.
JASSO, the Japan Student Services Organization, also offers a range of scholarships for foreign students. Refer to the Study in Japan website for other scholarship opportunities. Many large companies and banks have scholarship opportunities as well for specific fields, especially in STEM.

I know easy money is non existent, I have my own circumstances, I want to start making money no matter how small of an amount it is
This is a new account since I do not want to be identified.
Situation context: Father passed away a couple of years ago, Mother is homemaker, Paternal Grandfather pays for living (me, mother, younger brother) but not sure for how long, he is doing it as an obligation for taking care of him. All my cousins are treated differently and live a life of luxury without ever the worry about the future (I don't give a shit).
Education: Although I have been told countless times that I'm worthless, despite all the discouragement, I'm an NTSE scholar and an undergraduate at IIT (currently finished 2nd Year). My education was seen as burden whereas all my cousins are paid lakhs of rupees in college fee. Yes my cousins fees and many of my uncles and aunts (paternal) finances are assured by my grandfather, because they feel it is unfair that I am living off of his money.
People I'm sorry if this sub is not meant for this type of shit.
Please, I don't want any handouts or financial help. (Beats the point of everything this post was meant for)
I would love to make any sort of money. I could use some of my scholarship money, but I would most prefer to start from scratch as if I have nothing on my hands.

Hello everyone!
I am a 23 year old that graduated about a year ago in Amman , Jordan with a degree of Business Economics, I also have around a year of combined experience. I want to pursue my Master's later this year. Here are the options:

• University of Lisbon - Economics MSc - Ranked #266
  
• Corvinus University of Budapest- Economic Analysis MSc - Ranked #1001-1200
  

The situation is as follows:
I have been accepted in the Economics program at University of Lisbon at have paid around 1500 EUROS already, and currently awaiting visa acceptance/rejection. Whilst in the middle of applying for the visa, I have been notified that I have also been accepted in the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship.
This scholarship covers all university fees and provides an allowance of 200 EURO/month, on top of the fact that Budapest is cheaper than Lisbon in general.
My question is:
What do I do? I would prefer attending the University of Lisbon, However it is out of my own pocket, and living expense are high (granted I can afford it, but barely, might even take a loan). Or is it wise just to take the scholarship even though it is vastly inferior education - according to rankings-.
P.S: I plan to pursue a PHD afterwards. My career path is either Academia or Public Policy.
Thank you!!

Hello everyone!
I need some advice on deciding between two options for my Master's in Finance program. I’ve been accepted into both Boston College's Carroll School of Management and Northeastern University's D'Amore-McKim School of Business but I’m having trouble deciding which offer to accept. Here are some details to consider:
Scholarships: Both universities have offered me scholarships. NEU's scholarship covers 25% of my tuition fee. BC does not mention the exact amount of scholarship but could be b/w 5K - 10K with the Dean's scholarship.
Tution cost: total $54K but would cost around $39K with scholarship at NEU. Tuition cost is approx $66K at BC.
BC has also awarded a graduate assistantship with an annual stipend of $6,840. NEU has co-op programs but didn't consider me for any GAs.
Both programs are highly regarded, but I’d love to hear about your experiences or knowledge regarding the quality of education, faculty, networking opportunities, and career services.
Have a great weekend! Thanks!

Good day! Is that real to accepted with scholarship from the waiting list. I was offered on 28th of March. HKBU extent my application from 30th of April to 30th of June.

Hello redditors, I have an opinion question to ask.
I just graduated from college, and was accepted to NYU for graduate school in the fall. Only about 50% of students get scholarships, and I received a 50% tuition scholarship from them to attend. The program would put me exactly in the job field that I want to pursue life long, and I genuinely find joy in the idea of pursuing said career (Public Policy Analyst). My career goal requires education beyond just my bachelor’s degree, and I genuinely love school and am excited about continuing going to classes. I’ve met some great people who will also be in my program that I am excited to see there. I also plan to live in NYC for many years to come, and have not found a single other place in the world where I feel like my most authentic self. The program is one of the best in the country, and has faculty who have worked on Capitol Hill and other amazing organizations. The program will be superrrrr good for my chosen field and unlock many connections lifelong. I truly feel like I have the key to my perfect future in my hand with this opportunity.
All of this sounds great, right? Well… as you can imagine I would be taking out an exorbitant amount of student loans for this Master’s program. Even with the 50% tuition, the cost for 2 years of the tuition is a little over $100k total (I have no idea how people pay that without scholarships!!!) Thankfully, my undergraduate tuition was completely paid for through a scholarship that I earned, so I don’t have a lot of student loans besides my living expenses from that time. This allows some leeway for grad school expenses, however, I would be looking at around $100-120k in loans at the end of all of this…
Thankfully, my career field will most likely fall under the Public Service Loan Forgiveness track, so I believe that I will be eligible to get these loans paid for. It is not a 100% guarantee though. My career field makes somewhat decent money, but if these loans don’t get forgiven, I’m looking at a cool 20+ years paying off these loans.
Given the overwhelmingly large amount of net positives of this program, I am thinking of just going for it and taking on the loans. At the same time I am not sure how wise this is given the number and uncertainty in the loan forgiveness. I know that as an adult I need to make this decision and I am the one who will need to pay these off eventually. However, I was hoping to get some input from strangers with zero stake in my life who will give me the straight up facts (the lovely people close to me in my life of course said to follow my heart and go for it, but I am sure that they just don’t want to hurt my feelings). So please, if you feel so inclined redditors, give me your input!

So I have a question about national merit scholarships for the PSAT and any answer I would be grateful for. So basically, I took the 2023 PSAT and I qualified for the National Merit Scholarship. But I don’t know what it means.. what am I supposed to do now? Am I supposed to apply to something, and if so, when is the deadline? I’m a bit worried because the deadline may have passed already, or it is coming up soon and I don’t know about it. If someone could educate me on this I’d be really thankful. Thanks!

Hello, I'm 27F. My mom has always been so generous to other people. Kahit walang wala na siya, she's still gives out a hand. Hindi kami mayaman. Growing up, I've been applying and receiving educational assistance from the government and granted scholarships kaya ako nakapagaral sa private school until college which gave a wrong impression sa family ng isang kapatid ng papa ko. After I graduated college last year, I landed a job right away and dito na nagstart mangulit yung pinsan ko mangutang ng mangutang sa nanay ko. Mind you, we didn't grew up together and I can't remember kung nagkita na ba kami or nameet ko na sila. Di kami close, in short.
Nangungutang si ate girl sa nanay ko. How did I know? I can access my mom's messenger account kasi ako gumawa. Nagmessage din sakin pinsan ko pero sineen ko lang. Yung ate niya kasi may utang pa sakin pero di ko na siningil kasi she's sick rn, like sick sick. I didn't mind at first na pinapautang sila ng mama ko kasi during that time, 500 pesos lang naman hinihingi and for the meds daw ng anak nila. Until, mom asked me if I can send half of her allowance to my pinsan kasi kesyo yung ate niya manganganak na daw. When I started working, I promised to give my mom to give her allowance monthly to help with bills and expenses at home and for herself na rin kung ano man gusto niyang bilhin. Nainis ako sa mama ko kasi malaking halaga yung ibibigay niya pero sabi niya ibabalik naman daw. Sabi ko, fine. Kapag binayaran ka, sayo na mismo idirekta or ipadala kasi nga allowance mo naman yan.
I was so busy for a couple of months and finally I decided to go home with my family. I'm working in Makati so I'm renting near my workplace. Ayan na, nakauwi na ako sa bahay. I was super hungry so I looked for some snack sa ref and to my surprise, walang laman. I, then asked my mom bakit walang stocks, kakabigay ko lang sa kanya last time. Sabi niya, pinautang nanaman niya yung pinsan ko kasi siya naman daw yung nanganak. Tinanong ko si mama kung nabayaran na ba siya last time na umutang siya para sa ate niyang nanganak? Sabi ng mama ko, hindi pa daw. Nainis talaga ako sa mama ko. Sabi ko ma, walang masama tumulong, ang masama is yung tinetake advantage ka na.
A few weeks later, my mom went to Cebu to have a short vacation with her college besties. It's a 3-day vacation. Simula nung natuto si mama magfacebook, hala sigi magpost ng nagpost but I find it cute kasi she's sharing her moments lang naman. So, she's in Cebu with her college besties and she's been posting about it. Out of curiousity, I opened my mom's messenger. I saw my mom's convo with my pinsan filled with "tita!", "tita, napadala niyo na po?", "anong oras niyo po ipapadala?", "tita, tita, tita.." TITANG INA MO! HAHAHA naginit talaga ulo ko beshy! I told my mom to enjoy her vacation and not think of anything that would stress her out so hindi niya pinapansin yung chats ng pinsan ko. Siguro, aabot sa 20-30 chats per day si ate girl. Alam mo kung ano nanaman reason? Binugbog daw siya ng asawa niya. I can feel na she's making all things up. I messaged her on my personal messenger about this matter and I gave her an ultimatum to pay her utang to me. Ako ba yung gago if I blocked her on my mom's messenger? I'm giving everything to make my mom happy because she deserves it.

Alam mo kung ano nanaman reason? Binugbog daw siya ng asawa niya. I can feel na she's making all things up. I messaged her on my personal messenger about this matter and I gave her an ultimatum to pay her utang to me. Ako ba yung gago if I blocked her on my mom's messenger? I'm giving everything to make my mom happy because she deserves it.

Hello, I'm 27F. My mom has always been so generous to other people. Kahit walang wala na siya, she's still gives out a hand. Hindi kami mayaman. Growing up, I've been applying and receiving educational assistance from the government and granted scholarships kaya ako nakapagaral sa private school until college which gave a wrong impression sa family ng isang kapatid ng papa ko. After I graduated college last year, I landed a job right away and dito na nagstart mangulit yung pinsan ko mangutang ng mangutang sa nanay ko. Mind you, we didn't grew up together and I can't remember kung nagkita na ba kami or nameet ko na sila. Di kami close, in short.
Nangungutang si ate girl sa nanay ko. How did I know? I can access my mom's messenger account kasi ako gumawa. Nagmessage din sakin pinsan ko pero sineen ko lang. Yung ate niya kasi may utang pa sakin pero di ko na siningil kasi she's sick rn, like sick sick. I didn't mind at first na pinapautang sila ng mama ko kasi during that time, 500 pesos lang naman hinihingi and for the meds daw ng anak nila. Until, mom asked me if I can send half of her allowance to my pinsan kasi kesyo yung ate niya manganganak na daw. When I started working, I promised to give my mom to give her allowance monthly to help with bills and expenses at home and for herself na rin kung ano man gusto niyang bilhin. Nainis ako sa mama ko kasi malaking halaga yung ibibigay niya pero sabi niya ibabalik naman daw. Sabi ko, fine. Kapag binayaran ka, sayo na mismo idirekta or ipadala kasi nga allowance mo naman yan.
I was so busy for a couple of months and finally I decided to go home with my family. I'm working in Makati so I'm renting near my workplace. Ayan na, nakauwi na ako sa bahay. I was super hungry so I looked for some snack sa ref and to my surprise, walang laman. I, then asked my mom bakit walang stocks, kakabigay ko lang sa kanya last time. Sabi niya, pinautang nanaman niya yung pinsan ko kasi siya naman daw yung nanganak. Tinanong ko si mama kung nabayaran na ba siya last time na umutang siya para sa ate niyang nanganak? Sabi ng mama ko, hindi pa daw. Nainis talaga ako sa mama ko. Sabi ko ma, walang masama tumulong, ang masama is yung tinetake advantage ka na.
A few weeks later, my mom went to Cebu to have a short vacation with her college besties. It's a 3-day vacation. Simula nung natuto si mama magfacebook, hala sigi magpost ng nagpost but I find it cute kasi she's sharing her moments lang naman. So, she's in Cebu with her college besties and she's been posting about it. Out of curiousity, I opened my mom's messenger. I saw my mom's convo with my pinsan filled with "tita!", "tita, napadala niyo na po?", "anong oras niyo po ipapadala?", "tita, tita, tita.." TITANG INA MO! HAHAHA naginit talaga ulo ko beshy! I told my mom to enjoy her vacation and not think of anything that would stress her out so hindi niya pinapansin yung chats ng pinsan ko. Siguro, aabot sa 20-30 chats per day si ate girl.

Hi,
My niece & nephew are both autistic/ADHD and my sister would homeschool them if she could
As their aunt, I would like to be able to homeschool them. I believe in QLD/Aus it must be the actual parent or a registered teacher.
Are there any fellow Aussies who have done something similar?
I'm assuming most relatives who homeschool already have a teaching degree (eg. a grandparent who already has a career in education)
I'm currently studying a tertiary prep course via TAFE and want to go on to further study anyway. Is a bachelor degree in primary/secondary education the only option?
The aim is to be qualified as soon as possible, so that I could do the last couple of years of primary + highschool with them (they're 9 & 6 now).
Any advice or info is appreciated. Also any concerns 😅
Or recs for Aus specific homeschooling groups? I'll check out FB
(For context, neither parent is able to homeschool themselves, but would be at home to care for kids/offer general support. The kids also have support workers, OTs etc. I'm like a 3rd parent to them & understand their needs and how they best thrive/learn very well)
Thanks :)

Hello, I am new to Army reserve, no one has served in force before in our family. My son currently senior in HS. Want to join SMP program. I need some guidance. He will be joining His college in January 2025 as spring admission. He contacted his Army reserve recuriter, he said since he has six months he can finish his BCT and AIT before January 2025 and go to college and Join ROTC . Apply for minuteman scholarship for 4 years. Here is my concern, Deployment in between RIT and start of ROTC. This will mess up his college education ( he is brilliant student, admitted in top tier university) 1. Can army reserve recruiter sign him up as SMP ? So before he finish his training, he is secured. 2. If he has to wait to sign up for ROTC ( contracted from freshman) , can he be deployed in between time where he is waiting to start college ( probably around month and half ) 3 . Should he NOT enlist at the moment and wait till start of college ?
So much confusion. If any one can guide
