I never expected to be rejected by NUS, NTU and SMU all at once

[covertbriar]

Around mid 2018, I transferred from the humanities stream (IB) to the science stream (IB) at a different school altogether. Fyi I never attempted Chemistry previously... much less HL Chemistry. Therefore you could imagine how much of an uphill battle I faced. I needed to attend a 6-month foundation program, which obviously meant graduating much later than the same cohort at my former school. I didn't fare well for Math either; coupled with this newfound nightmarish Chemistry endeavour I became completely lost and depressed.

I remained stuck in bed. No matter how much I thought about hitting the books, my limbs just wouldn't obey me. A chronic emptiness overwhelmed my state of being, so much so I ended up sleeping 16 hours a day. Gosh why can't I snap out of this inertia and buck the f*** up? What's wrong with moi?

I’d never for a moment imagined it would be difficult to get into university. Growing up, everyone around me earned their degrees like clockwork and I reckoned the only thing I should ever worry about was which institution caught my fancy most. Receiving rejection letters from NUS, NTU and SMU simultaneously felt so surreal and yet at the same time, utterly embarrassing. Oh well, I guess that's what happens when you score a measly 31/45 in the IB diploma examinations.

Learn to cheat in this nonsense evil BE education system...

When I found out the way CAM structured their mental health problem examination questions I fell off the chair laughing.

I got hold of the 1st published 10 year series exam questions I strike gold and could see I can scored as many A's I like in any subject examinations.

Out of 10 questions 6 are compulsory modules and the rest 4 is tikum tikum type.

So when u can hv min a C credit in your pocket aiming for distinction is easy....

This module came out last year, it cannot be set again this year.... put it aside first... continue tikum tikum .... then checkmate 将军 the game... at least min a B now.... blah blah....

Than there are other factors to consider what and why this or that module wld come out or not.... my top secret... cannot tell orelse sabo myself lose a place for the school I choose to get in to.... if expose to many losers...

Study smart not hard... And fuck the evil BE education system deepshit...

31/45 is 67%. Those who got in were at least 75% or even 95%. Wake up.

This whole education system is designed to program us to being subservient employees and workers. Do well academically, get into a good reputable school/uni and secure a good stable job that pays well. Learn to think out of the box and become an entrepreneur and create jobs instead. I had only worked 3 years+ in my career life, and they were the most miserable time of my life. After I ventured out on my own and started a few companies, I never looked back.

Sounds like the IB stream is a massive fraud. Better stick to the good old-fashioned 'O' and 'A' levels.

university degrees these days are no big fucking deal. we have so many tech workers here in sillycon valley who earn millions on their stock options when startups go ipo. they are marijuana smokers, high school dropouts, college dropouts, part time odd jobbers, slackers, etc. but after they graduate from sought-after coding bootcamp in 6.9 months, suddenly their prospects change. they get hired within 6.9 days by established tech and startups alike with signing bonuses and generous stock options. an excrement a year ago, and an elite when startup goes ipo. don't even have to work too hard as the heavy duty lifting is already done by the top 6.9% engineers of the startup. they just need coders and other tech support staff to help with the mundane repetitive work associated with sexpansion and scale. the creative and innovative work is already done before they get "series a" funding. pre-ipo, they need to show growth, sexpansion and scale. after ipo, the excrement that was a year ago languishing in poverty and joblessness suddenly becomes a multi-millionaire. quits and joins the next promising startup for the next ipo. important move is to join the right startup after coding bootcamp. in just these recent 6.9 months of ipo activity, sillycon valley produces over 6.9k multi-millionaire stock optionees! a very small minority of them graduated from stanford, uc berkeley, santa clara u, sjsu, and out of state and out of region universities.
