By now you should have heard of Alvin Wang – the Ngee Ann Polytechnic graduate who is appealing his university course rejection in a way likely never done before in Singapore.

In a matter of days, the tech-savvy 21-year-old had garnered some 11,000 ‘likes’ for his website www.helpalvingetintoschool.com where he asks for help to be accepted into National University of Singapore’s computer science course.

He only began to share links to the site on his Facebook and Twitter accounts last Thursday night, but some time after all the love he received from his trending on the Internet, Wang started to draw flak from netizens for not being too upfront in his approach.

You see – Wang’s site, until recently, made no mention of the fact that he had already been accepted into another course in the NUS – information systems.

Those who visited – and liked – his page may have believed that they were showing their support for a talented student who had unfortunately been denied entry into one of Singapore’s top universities.

On his page, Wang, who holds a diploma with merit in information technology, wrote that his “application to pursue a degree in Computer Science at National University of Singapore was rejected”. He then urged internet users to “stick around, help me with my appeal by giving me a thumbs up and sharing this page”.
