To post your offers/ rejections in this thread, please include:

If from PFP or ITE prior to poly, do state N Level results, PFP phase or ITE GPA.
- List ALL your choices for each university application (up till the offered course, or else all choices if you're rejected)
- Offered course/ Rejected status, and whether the offer is made under DA or borderline interview (if any) (must be confirmed offer). If you have DAed, briefly state your achievements and accomplishments

You can refer to this site or this site for more information on the application process and dates.

From what I've heard from my friends who got into PGP, it is relatively easier to get in as compared to other residences.

Hi. Please rate my chance.
I am studying business and just got my 5th semesters results too.
I got a CGPA of 3.73 and want to go to NTU biz.
but i fall short from igp 10th percentile of 3.80
Is there still a good possibility for me to get in?
my CCA is not good enough to boast but i can get referral letters from lecturers and employers for internship, part time jobs etc. will that be any help? and can i actually use work experience under the discretionary admission exercise?

Thanks for your reply! :)
i got L1R4 14 raw
English C5 A Math B3 E Math A1

English need at least B4, if not:
If you manage to get an interview opportunity, you will be given 15 minute to write an essay on a topic before being interviewed by 2 profs.

Your math grade is okay, so they probably won't probe you in this area. However your L1R4 quite weak.

Wish you the best of luck

I am actually quite confused about this and would appreciate it if u can shed some light.
I still have a semester to go and I have hopes to pull up my CGPA, even if it is slightly.
Currently i got 3.70, 3.85, 4.00, 3.40, 3.70 for 5 semesters. CGPa is 3.73
does that mean if i get 4.00, i can pull it up to 3.78?
But again, I am not sure if it will be of any help cos when the application window opens in Feb, we are supposed to apply with 5 sem results right?
So my question is whether the IGP is reflective of 6 semesters results or just 5 semesters?
