Hyung Gyu Rho Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 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? In my university, 80+ is H1, equivalent to A in the US according to Michgan University, 75-79 is H2A, equivalent to A-, 70-74 is H2B, equivalent to B.
