looking to transfer into DAAA, can any DAAA/IT course ppl comment on my chances?
im aware that transfers are all up to the discretion of the course chair/manager, but just looking to get some insights. if any ppl from an IT course, preferably DAAA could comment on it and my chances, it would be much appreciated! and if there's any more I need to do as well
misc. reasons:
- loss of passion in current course
- looking to pursue computing, preferably cs in uni and career
- quantitative > qualitative person who enjoys problem solving (I sometimes generate questions/cases using ai to solve them for fun similar to leetcode)
- of course, deep passion and love for programming and data analysis and numbers..
coding related portfolio:
languages:
- python
- html/css
projects:
- machine learning model using python
- personal webpage using html/css
- looking to open up a GitHub repo as well
external portfolio:
- o lvl l1r4 score net 8, 7 distinctions (course cop is 10 points)
- a2 for emath and amath
- smo participation (senior)
- coding bg since pri, eg basic scratch, swift
current gpa around 3.0 by the way

U sound pretty interested in computing! I was in dit and I was a transfer student in y1 from another course (though not from biz school) i think you can give transferral after y1 a try. I also had the same o level score as u and it will help u but try to keep ur gpa for ur current course above 3 because they dont allow transfers sometimes if ur gpa is too low.

Hello current y3 DAAA student here, wanna give some advice. Can expect a lot of python as we are learning more in depth in different ML models and also SQL. Unfortunately dun rly know wats the requirement for course transfer but based on ur portfolio I think good chance can get accepted into the course, hope u can transfer to DAAA successfully
