http://www.temasekreview.com/2011/0...admission-criteria-for-international-students/
>揢nlike local students, international applicants come from different educational systems. Hence NUS is unable to stipulate specific requirements for each type of international qualification. But this does not mean the admission process is less rigorous. On the contrary, admission for international students is significantly more competitive than that for local students. The university sets even more stringent criteria for international students to make sure that only high-quality students are admitted.?lt;
Who the hell cares about how much differences in educational system these foreign students are coming from
They are here. Period
I have met first hand many such "talents" that cannot even write, let alone speak English
And since R Rajaram, the Director of Office of Admissions, NUS, is proud enough to claim they employed competitive admission for foreign students, then is he brave enough to spell out the criteria?

If the scholarships are dropped, it will be very telling to see how many of these high quality foreigners will still be willing to study at NUS. This will answer the question as to how stringent their criteria are as most of the capable ones will have made a beeline to elsewhere.
