NUS and NTU prioritize academic excellence as the foundation of their admissions process. Strong grades in relevant subjects, particularly those aligned with your intended major, are critical and serve as the initial screening criterion. Beyond academics, both universities evaluate candidates holistically. They look for well-rounded individuals who demonstrate leadership potential, meaningful community involvement, and diverse extracurricular achievements. Personal statements or essays also play a role in showcasing your motivations, experiences, and fit for the program.
