Singapore university or Apply to the US

Recommended Posts

Hi, I am shortlisted for National University of Singapore, not that I get an offer. However, if I get an offer, I will have to accept it by the end of this month. This also means that I cannot apply to the US university. I can ask Singapore university to give me the offer next March, but that mitigates the change of getting the offer. So, I am asking for an advice, telling from my profit, should I ask Singapore university to give me the offer next March so I can apply to the US, or Just take the early offer if I get?
