I must say the profiles I see so far are either valedictorian of their respective cohorts, or someone from Oxbridge w fch.

This is correct. I’ve not studied at HLS, but my classmates from cambridge (and HP friends from Ox) are strictly First Class - these are the ones who got into HLS.

Holy **** this thread has become a cesspool... Hardly any meaningful discussion being had.

Thanks. To the cesspool post, say all you want but this is really important.
Harvard matters if you want to be a high flyer lawyer.

Should i go to law school, business school, or computing school?

I strongly recommend Oxbridge for masters. I myself went to a delisted university, got a "degree mill" FCH and went to Oxbridge for masters.

I'm now the cream of the crop

No one asked.

An NUS 2.2 will always be better than you.

Not wrong. NUS is not delisted

Many salty ppl around.
But that’s really reflective of how it is like navigating a law firm as a junior lawyer.
Truth is this (if you’re working in a local sg law firm):
If you’re a nus law grad w 2:2, you’ll never be happy. You’ll blame the whole world for this.
If you’re an overseas grad w fch, the local nus kids will look down on you, either overtly or covertly. You walk to the toilet also, they will make snide/sarcastic comments.
If you’re an overseas grad w a good masters, even worse. You’ll get all sorts of snide comments, maybe even some seniors in the law firm will not even give you work, or worse, give you work and say the work product is useless/horrible etc.
This is the same problem with xenophobia, except applied discreetly.

Then overseas graduates move on to international firms and MNCs but the local kids still measuring their dicks on this forum using school grades.

This is logical sophistry at its finest.

Why would a country A delist their own university they setup and built?
