NUS Computing Q&A (2021)
The unofficial official Q&A video for all you prospective NUS Computing students out there. Also so that I can send you this video instead of having to reply the same questions again and again 🙂
As all computing students come to learn, just google it.

Hi there, I'm Daryl, commonly referred to as Dargo, and I'm a 3rd year Computing student/degen/shitposter studying in the National University of Singapore. Currently trying to find an internship if not I can't graduate. Feelsbad.

That subtle flex about your 'A' Levels, which is also why Tamago said that you're actually a super bright person, and it exudes in the way you speak bro... Much Love, even tho I not from NUS kek

jk but soon! when I go back (if I can, that is 👁👄👁 ) let's def do something
'A' levels computing = better odds? Yes and no. HUGE DISCLAIMER : this answer is based on my personal anecdote, NOT a strict guideline for how your admission might be. Dont let what I say here be the reason why you fail 5 subjects and only pass 2. I talked to a nus socs prof awhile back(their stance might have changed) , he said that they would consider interviews with students who did well for 'A' levels computer as well as maths. So, if you arent doing well for anything other than computing and maths (like i was), you would stand a good chance for ABA (aptitude based application). Source: still waiting for my 2 years of "holiday camp" to end, but got a spot in nus cs through ABA. Also, I have seen very many people who were not interesting in CS suffering in A level computing, so if you dont know what you want to do in the future, I dont recommend putting CS on top of your list.
For a poly CS graduate entering the NUS CS course where there's a quite a fair bit of similar modules, would it be better to get exemption or redo all the modules again. Many Thxs
Could u make video on giving A level tips pls!!!! And also whats the criteria for private A level candidates in cs!!!! Love ur videos!

Haha my dude I took 'A' Levels like 6 years ago I think my time has passed 🤣 all I can say is that you just need to do practice papers into oblivion because that's what I did. Do it to the point that anytime you see an A Level papers it more of muscle memory than brainpower then you know you're prepared

there's a huge influx in computer science undergraduates the past 3 years from my own observations, so I believe that there may potentially be a surplus of supply in the future
I’m not even interested in cs but still watched the whole video LOL
