Consideration of SAT I

for admission. The best set of SAT I score taken in one sitting in the five years leading up to 1 April of the admission year will be taken into consideration. For applications closing on 1 April 2008, the SAT I must be taken
between 1 April 2003 to 1 April 2008. Applicants may not submit verbal
and mathematics scores from across sittings.
For applicants applying for admission to NUS in 2008 and submitting
the SAT I scores, please note that the last acceptable test date for
SAT I is 28 January 2008. May 2008 SAT I scores will
not be considered.
Content proficiency

GCE ‘A’ Level examination and/or studies at a Polytechnic in Singapore.
Experience and Motivation
Experience is limited to full-time working experience only. It is
not necessary for applicants to have worked continuously for the same
company or organisation for four years.
For experience and motivation to be measured, those being considered
under Category C must submit a personal
statement form and two referee
reports to the Office of Admissions by 1 April of the admission
year. Applicant is also required to submit an employer status letter* to confirm that he/she is currently working in an organisation.
*Letter can either be written by direct supervisor or the Human Resources Department.
The points accorded for SAT I, content proficiency, the personal statement
form and employer referrals will determine whether the applicant will
be shortlisted for an interview.
Employers of the applicant may serve as referees. They must have supervised
the applicant but must not be related to the applicant. Applicants
who are self-employed may seek referrals from their business associates.
Such associates must be at least of managerial level and must not
be related to the applicant.
