The part about comparisons is so true tbh. The worst part is not even imposter syndrome, it’s when others deem you less intelligent coz you’re GPA is considered “low” or “average” to them 😵‍💫

Hi i am a poly student and is very interested in studying law however im a engineering student. I was wondering if its possible for engineering students to study law in uni and how and what can we do to change from engineering to law?

I went to NUS as a non-law undergrad and then did my JD at SMU. I would say NUS has just as many “University core” modules as SMU. On the other hand, I daresay NUS offered a lot more academic freedom (ie people like Goh Yihan can skip lectures and yet come up on top), which was something I sorely missed when I was in law school.

Hi Edward! Actually i rmb being so worried about making this video because I didn't know too much about the NUS curriculum, but my baseline impression was that SMU law students were forced to do extra uni core mods, accounting, etc etc. I think it might have changed since I left though... What kind of "non-law" mods did you have to do as an NUS JD (or for LLB students for that matter)? i would love to know! But for sure I think NUS has more flexibility both in terms of what modules they offer (wider variety and more options) and also in terms of how you choose to manage your time. Definitely a plus point for more self-directed/disciplined students.

Thank you for making this video. Any advice for or any experience with older classmates, from the mid-career track in SMU or NUS Law? I am talking about People in their 30s or even 40s?

hi Charlene, do you know if it’s possible to get into law school with a C in GP? I was shortlisted for the written test but I’m wondering if I even stand a chance

@charlycatcatcatvideos

Hi! Okay honestly if u are already shortlisted/invited for the test or interview, you have as good a chance as anyone!!! I think it's challenging if your grades are too low to be asked for the test and you have to appeal or something, but if you've already got your foot in the door just try your best☺️

Hi Char! I just wanted to ask a quick question. I realised that there are many JC students in Law but what about Poly students? Are there fewer of them and would they stand face any disadvantages?

@charlycatcatcatvideos

Жыл бұрын

Hi! I would say the majority of students are from JC but don't let that scare you! We had quite a number of poly friends and they ended up thriving super well in the uni environment especially because they were already so good at learning independently and doing group work. Hope this helps and all the best 😊

Hi Charlene, have you always wanted to study law? I'm currently a j1 student and I'm trying to explore more paths and career choices. However, I'm not sure if I should stick with a clear goal in mind or whether I should continue to keep my options open 😭 A handful of my friends already have their career path planned, so I'm feeling a bit anxious about the fact that I'm still undecided about what I want to pursue.

Hi! I definitely did not know that I wanted to study law, and quite frankly even at this point after graduating I'm still not sure if the law industry will be for me in the LT (though ofcourse I will try to practice first). In general I think if you happen to have a clear goal, that is always great for motivation. But if you don't, there are many people who are experiencing the same thing. Also, keeping your mind open to new possibilities will allow you to explore more options and you might just find a clearer path as a result. Things can change! Also J1 is SO YOUNG. I am 23 and I still don't know my path in life, so don't stress too hard. Ofcourse my specific advice for JC is for you to do ur best and get the highest grades u can manage and from then you can sit down and think about your choices again after J2. All the best :')

Does SMU law school require an interview for admissions? I checked their website and it doesn't say anything about an interview

@charlycatcatcatvideos

2 жыл бұрын

I can't say for sure but the interview has been a standard requirement for years already. I can't find the exact admission process steps on the website either (maybe they are updating) but the most recent posts on the JD intake still required interviews in the same group format so I'd assume they are still on!

I think I will decide to go to law school I find ir very interesting and complex plus both of my parents are lawyers so that’s good and the university of my city is great in law :)) (btw this was posted on my birthday!)

Hi Charlene, are the SMU law students given structured notes to study or are they required to make their own notes (with reference to various books) after lecturers delivered their lectures? Thanks in advance

@charlycatcatcatvideos

Жыл бұрын

Hi! We are usually required to make our own notes. We have a reading list and an overall guide (e.g. in bullet point form, usually the main learning point / name of the rule and then the cases / materials espousing that point) but that's it for class prep. Then we will make our own notes based on classes with the help of friends and senior's notes usually.

How should get admission in master in law as am LLB. Please must reply, regards.

Surely you can :) I've talked to smu LLM admission advisor, they said like a big percentage for you to get in as long as you have LLB and few years of experience.

Can you enter SMU Law only with good A-level grades? I barely have any olympiad certificates or CCAs.

@charlycatcatcatvideos

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Cherine! I do think that ultimately they look at your A level grades as the base line. Once you get the interview/test, you probs have as good a chance as the rest of the candidates and you just have to focus on how you perform during those components. I can't say for sure but I would assume these co-curriculars are more like push factors that would help if your grades are only just making the cut OR if you are gunning for scholarships. I hope this helps and all the best with applications
