helloo~ I'm Nadya, a year 3 accountancy undergraduate at the National University of Singapore. I make videos about university life and other random stuff I feel like creating content on hehe :D Glad you’re here watching my adventures!
hi i just applied for the same company however for oracle database internship.. can you please inform me about the acceptance process and is it worth it
Hii, I think you are applying for the Atradius office outside of Singapore, so I can't really say much about how the process will be for you. And yes, I loved my internship with Atradius singapore! The people were really nice and I got to learn a lot of things :)
This video is so inspiring ,Especially for someone like me, I started my final year of HS last month, and I'm preparing to study abroad, but I wasn't very confident in myself or that I could do it because of a lot of external factors, but you inspired me today with your video and your ability and from the way you talk I can tell that you are a successful person and will continue to be successful in the future, so I wish you a bright future.❤ Thank you for this video, I hope you publish more of it in the future.🥺
Hi, I’m wondering if applying for early decision before November 7 could increase my chances of receiving a scholarship. Do you have some information about it? Thank you in advance
Hi, I don't think Canadian universities gave early decision (at least during my time 😅). Early decisions are usually just for US unis. I don't have any info to be really honest, but I think early decisions only affect admissions, and don't affect scholarships much.

Thank you so much Nadia I've really learnt a lot from your video I'm a Nigerian though, I'm trying to write my essay for the think big scholarship i eas so confused but now i think I'm good to go 😊 Please I'd like to ask a question, does think big scholarship offer accommodation and living fee ?
Hi Nadia I'm an applicant for this scholarship 2024/2025 and couldn't hear anything about the outcome of the scholarship, I'm anxious, help me check weather the result was out,they said yesterday and up to now no any news
Hi, I received it a few hours earlier than the day it was supposed to be announced. Seems like a few people are facing the same issue as you, maybe you can email them?
Hi! Thank you so much, this video has been really useful for me while writing. You give a really good basis for the structure and I really needed that. I have one doubt, and it is about use of sources and information. Do I need to investigate concepts or theories, and give a detailed account of them in this? Or is it lax about it and I can just talk from a general point of view? If this is something obvious, I am sorry. But I really need to know.
Hi, I don't really understand your question, so please let me know if my answer makes no sense to you haha I think it depends on what you're using those infos for. If as explanations to support your points, then some kind of detail is needed. If as examples, the can be less detailed as long as your point is conveyed clearly.
@@nadventures answer it. It was badly formulated so thanks for the effort ;) The doubt comes from me having trouble to distinguish between my Philosophy class and ToK. Not because the clases are similar but because of my own personal thoughts on both subjects. So I kind of wondered if I had to work with the same amount of theories as I do in philosophy. For example working with different specific author and such things. Maybe, the question would be, how much of those type of things are needed, if at all? Also, sorry for the intensity 🙇♀️
@@veronicarodriguezg3613 Nope, you don't need to have so many theories. From how I'm seeing it, TOK is about showing how you think, and it does not necessarily involve a lot of theories.
hie , thank you for this informative video. Can l please ask how did you answer the question on state how you will fund the rest of your studies .Does it have to be an essay answer or just saying personal savings will be sufficient. I think l made a mistake
Hi, it does not have to be an essay answer. Your answer is completely okay. I think the university just want students to consider how they will fund their studies since the scholarship does not cover 100% tuition fee.
'Connotation' and 'subtext' are linguistic jargon, could you explain them in the context of your exhibition ? The reasoning that miscommunication creates beauty is debatable, usual results are misunderstanding, lack of cultural sensitivity, provocation and taking offence.
Hii, honestly can't remember exactly what I was thinking while writing that anymore, buttttt... 1) There isn't any special context/meaning for those two words (i.e. connotation is the literal connotation, it's saying that there's an implied meaning) 2) TOK exhibitions (and essays actually) are not meant to give definite answers. It's the arguments, analysis, and explanations you make that matters, not the conclusion.
Thank you very much, Nadya. I'm curious about whether you receive a tuition grant and what you believe are the criteria for obtaining one (both academically and non-academically). I ask because I'm aiming to attend NTU or NUS (M25, currently doing the IB). I've also watched your other videos and found them very helpful. However, one video where you mentioned feeling heartbroken due to scoring below the median in your math module made me think that your GPA might not be very high. Yet, in another video, you mentioned achieving a GPA between 4.7 and 4.83 when transferring majors, which has left me a bit confused. Could you please explain how the scoring system works?
Hi! I chose to not get a tuition grant due to the 3-year bond that comes with it, but I know I would be able to get it if I choose to. Honestly though, now that I'm in Singapore, I don't think the bond is that bad, because I'm okay with working in Singapore now (it was scary thing for me back then). As for NUS scoring system, the website provides a very good explanation (www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/academic-information-policies/modular-system). I exercised the S/U option for that math module (www.usp.nus.edu.sg/curriculum/academic-structure/satisfactory-unsatisfactory-s-u-options/).
@@nadventures TYSM. Just curious if NUS workload is significantly higher than IB workload, and if so, what is the safe actual IB grade required to guarantee a place into NUS or NTU for engineering-related majors? I've heard that NUS doesn't care about predicted grades.
@@minhanhle2863 Significantly higher workload, I don't think so. However, it depends on how hard you studied during IB and whether you choose to overload in NUS (I've been overloading for all semesters except y2s1, so I'm constantly busy). As for IB grade, the international students I know are all in the 43-45 range. The range is way lower for Singaporeans (less than 40 may still be acceptable for them but not for international). And yes, they don't care about predicted grades.
@@nadventures This comment section surprised me because, except from extremely difficult courses like Med and CS, I assumed that a 41+ would be rather safe for almost all majors. I was wondering if you manage to be a top student (GPA>4.5) at NUS if everyone in your network scored 43+ on the IB?
@@Nori-tx4px Yea, my GPA is on the higher end. I think 41+ could be a possible range too honestly, but all the data I have is based on my friends so I'm not very sure.
@@nadventuresI have the same question as him. What he’s asking is on the schorlaship option it says to pick either to be considered for all awards (£6500,13000 and 26000 awards) or just the £ 26000 award. So which one would you advise us to choose.
@@mwakamweezymwansa500 Oh I see, I think the admissions officer wanted to gauge whether you are willing to accept lower offers. My guess is that some students cannot afford the tuition fee if they do not get a certain amount, or they already have another scholarship offer, so they plan to reject the offer if they get a low amount. The university might have realised this and decided to add that question so that if your qualifications grant you a lower amount, but you do not want a lower amount, they will not give you an offer. Choose based on your own situation :)
@@mwakamweezymwansa500 hie did you apply for the PG one and successfully submit ,I have a few questions do you mind if l contact you and also im looking for people that will share when offers are being sent out lol
Tysm Nadya for posting such informative videos ❤. I was hoping if you could post a video on the extracurriculars dat are required to get into NUS business
Hi! To be really honest, I don't think NUS cares about extracurriculars that much unless you have very cool one (e.g. national athlete, international math olympiad IMO)
Hi Nadaya, i'm so happy to look you video...i'm in Africa and i really want to study in NUS!! How can i do?? Please answer me. And sorry my english isn't good.
@@nadventures Hi Nadaya...i'm so happy for your answer...i want to enter in NUS Business School this year. So how can i do?? Please what is the NUS website?
Thank you for this Nadia I’m trying to apply as an international student from Nigeria this was quite resourceful want to ask if you could help review my essay?
Educative. I already secured unconditional offer but i made little error in my think big scholarship application, i answered the section where they asked how did you applied for postgraduate sessions incorrectly. I wrote through applicants portal instead of UCAS. I hope this will not impact my application?
I recently got an offer from UofT Faculty of Life sciences and got awarded the $100k international scholar award, but after looking at the total costs for the year, i realise that i cant even afford the money that's left. Any advice on what to do?
Hi, sorry, I'm not sure of the other options. Perhaps, you can try find some financial aid or apply to other universities instead? (Considering you got the 100k, you probably have good enough achievements to get full scholarship in other less competitive unis) Just to share my experience, I also realised that it was cheaper for me to go to Singapore compared to Canada, and it was one of the supporting factors that made me decide to go for NUS.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I am applying to the Think Big Scholarship and I am really confused about my essay. Could you please review it and give me feedback? I would be really thankful for your help
Of course, feel free to send me an email! On a side note, I was told by a few other people that the deadline in 26 Feb, so it'll be a good idea for you to check again.
Hey, I am looking forward to apply for think big scholarship but I have some concerns like I am going in University of Bristol through in foundation program like in a part of a program will my part way or foundation you are smart should be considered for scholarship or my GPA like high school grade would be considered. Can you please help me with it I am looking forward for my undergrad??
I have few more and very important and confusing questions i am facing first one is english is not my first language so english language course is necessary for admission and also if course is necessary then which course they demand? Second one is first we apply on university portal choose course and send application and university give us student id no and than we can apply for think big scholarship my question is if university reject application still we get think big scholarship or not? Because in application its mention that university will inform you in two to three days
1) Usually, it's IELTS/TOEFL; unless you studied an international curriculum and took a higher level english subject. You'll need to check the website for exact details 2) if university reject application, you will not get the scholarship
Thank u for this video much needed I am little confuse about student Id that mention in the application of scholarship can you guide about that how we can get our student id from bristol university before getting think big scholarship.
Yeah I received my student id today through email thank u. And also I will send you my essay soon on your email because you really inspired me through your video .
Hi Nadia. I am wondering how I can meet up with the 1000 word count per essay. Do you have any tip on how to go about that? And can I send you my essay for review when I am done?
Hi Nadia, Should I avoid repeating the content of my UCAS personal statement in the answers for the scholarship? Do they refer to the UCAS personal statement for assessment? Thanks!
I think they will be the personal statement too. For me last time, I did repeat some things, but I tried to introduce as much new content as possible too. I think it's good to repeat the things you want to highlight too.
@@nadventures Hello again, I wanted to ask if we have to strictly adhere to the 1000 character word limit in the essay? your essay consists of more characters than the given limit right?
Hello Nadia, hope you’re doing well. I have sent my draft over to you via Email as you said. Hope to hear from you soon 😇 P.s. I’ve sent it from yahoo mail
I did not accepted the offer in the end 😅. But I got accepted into three faculties, all were math related but I can't remember the specifics. I think one of them was computer science and math and another one was statistics.
Is it to get scholarship you must maintain all grade 90 or above in grade 9,10,11 12. Or just final grade 11,12.Please let me know? By the way, did you take SAT? How much you score ?
Hi, it is not the Pearson scholarship. If I remember correctly, Pearson is a full scholarship and is way more competitive. I did not apply for it as we had to write a lot of essay and it was exam period for me.
