Cool...could you reformat it and post again?My 2c to add:
i took 3 courses after being in USP for 3 years...I'm not gonna graduate with it, nor will i quit. USP has opportunities (overseas programs, supervisors, accomodation, fundings, flexible corriculum, etc), and challenges that almost offset those, for some.
Joining never hurts as you can quit anytime. However, one thing science students shall note: if plan to do research, esp with a head start, it is not wise at all to read many humanity courses. USP now requires 5. Too many in my opinion. 2 or 3 should be healthy. USP won't let that be compromised, though (believe me I tried).
CAP should not a big worry---1 or 2 B or B- is okay. I got B in writing, but will still maintain a cap between 4.8-4.9 at graduation. In the end, if you go into industry, a 0.2-0.3 diff. in CAP will not be nearly as impt as what I think you can gain from USP. If you go into research. If you go into research, mostly likely you will do grad study in NUS. And again a lower CAP---a (more...)

One recent policy is that you can read upper-level courses (like those offered in your dept.) independently. Go see the professor and if he agrees, he will supervise you for that course. This is a very exclusive opportunity, and good if you prefer that mode of learning.
ningtigers: you can contact (贾晨晔 yr1 common + double degree) and let him know that usp+double degree is not good, since you still need to finish 1st tier USP courses. Normally double-degree students dont have to do ULE....Hehe, wonder why i know all the knitty-gritty? I am doing double degree myself.
