Well…. it’s has been some time already

Halfway through A levels and just finished my H3 Math paper today. Rather tough. Quite disappointed with myself for not being able to complete all questions as I was just stumped by some of them. Anyway.

It has been so many months here in Singapore. Now I’m facing much problems with funding if I were to go to the US to continue my studies. No grant or scholarship, no need to go, said my mum. If getting admission into the top Us was hard enough, there’s another barrier called funding woes. And I’m the type who wouldn’t want to be bonded to any scholarship. So maybe that’s why I am facing a money problem. Praying hard and hoping that God will answer my prayer and open a door for funding.

Applied to Stanford two weeks ago. Should know the result by mid-December. Didn’t apply for financial aid since Stanford would most likely reject me if I did apply for financial aid (it’s not need-blind to internationals). And it is my dream school, have been looking at it for many many months. As I want to be an entrepreneur, I thought that the Stanford culture and education really nurtures one to think out of the box– something really good for entrepreneurs. But it is going to cost me (or my parents) USD 55000 per year. That is REALLY A LOT OF MONEY.

Looks like NUS here in Singapore is very probable indeed.

Hope that God will show me the best way for me and open a door to wherever it is that He wants me to go. Amen.

    hmmm yeah but but stanford doesn’t is need-based so i applied stating that I would not apply financial aid. otherwise they would just reject me when they see that I am applying for aid. cause stanford is my first choice sigh
