and just when i've 70% made up my mind to go smu as a lowly non-double degree, unscholarshiped, hostel-prospect low student, nus sent me a letter that told me i was offered a place in usp.
bastards.
good education as an unremarkable student paying high(er) tuition vs unremarkable education in a prestigious program paying similar tuition if hostel included. hostel!
what i'm doubtful about is actually above mentioned prestige of usp. if they really take in 150 students every batch, is it really as exclusive as they hype it up to be? i'm afraid that the hype is just hype, and it really does just make you a jack of all trades with a certificate to show for it at the end.
but am refusing to be disillusioned and still carrying hope everyday that smu will call to dispense scholarship interviews.
