But I heard and saw Mr. Tan reply that results wood be released by 1st April.
So how come one person received the offer. One more thing , will a person get an intimation for rejection via email?

yes we will be told via email.Also it might take time because there are lots of applicants.Does anyone know what kind of scores they are looking for?I'm form India so what is the percentile you are required to have.

the word that has usually been around is that they look for 65% and above.. but Mr. Tan has emphasised quite a few times that they look at the overall package.

surprisingly, we have never come to know about this one particular criteria despite this forum going on over the years. the percentage issue has never been discussed once all the admissions are announced, becomes a thankless exercise actually- one is obviously engrossed in celebrating his/ her success story and finding out who are the other people joining.

whatever it is, I feel that NUS definitely remains much more competitive than most UK/ US varsities leaving the creme de' la creme aside... so, the percentage has to play a significant, if not the biggest role in successful admission.

don't think its a wise idea to contact NUS at this point of time. they'd be busy the whole first week of April sending offers to the successful applicants. may be it'l be better to wait patiently for our respective emails rather than emailing our queries. Of course, for candidates like Whistle, its a very practicabe solution and really nice on the part of NUS to send an early offer.
Congrats Whistle for the double sundae!! what would you choose now- UCL or NUS?

Can someone clarify something for me? I've heard both and I'm not sure which to believe... should you expect the decision by April 1st or by the first week of April?

I have other schools waiting on the back-burner too, but NUS is definitely my top choice. Looks like I have to waste a few hundred dollars to keep the other schools at bay...

Best of luck to everyone here!! I hope to meet all you nice people :P

Congratulations Tishampati Sen. Good job!
Would you mind telling us your credentials? It would help us know where we stand.
Also, did you call/mail NUS at any point of time?

to those who got the scholarship, is it sufficient to pay for everything? do you have to shell out something for some expenses? or is enough to cover living expenses and school expenses?

Hi all,
I found out yesterday that I got in for the LLM in IP and Tech law! So excited! I replied immediately!
Question
1 - they tell you if you got a scolarship with you acceptence?
2- I also see that there is no possibility of getting the Service Obligation grant thing for LLM coursework students.. Does anyone know more about this?
Congratulations to all!
