Anyone here went to overseas uni using diploma?
Can share cos interested in taking the route.
You need a minimum of at least 3.5 combined gpa by sem 5(year 3 sem 1). Any lower and it'd be even harder to get a place.
However, some uni courses which require portfolio may not need very high gpa.
Presently you need a minimum GPA of 3.8 to enter uni.

Seems that most poly grads tend to go Aussie uni. Any reason for that?
Does anyone have scored 18pts in GCE "O" level?
Is so, what poly to enrol?
Pardon me for asking, what is GPA?
18pts abit too high for "O" levels, your only option now is Engineering...either Mechanical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
Is it possible to apply to any course in Uni or must die die apply to related courses?
18 pts is for 5 subjects or 6 subjects??
u dont have to apply to related courses if u are applying for humanities/business courses, the only thing is u wont get any exemptions (which u probably will get if you have related diploma).
i am not sure about engineering/science courses but even if they do let you in with an unrelated diploma, u are going to be in for a tough time without the background knowledge
My GPA is currently 3.15 and my O's is 18 pts. Now final sem at NYP Diploma in Info Tech. Any chances in any of the local U's ? I thinking of NTU's communication studies though...but many ppl say it's not as good as i think it is...

GPA is how they grade u in Poly/Uni level.
In secondary school, you take about 7 subjects ( English, Math, Sci, etc... )
and given a grade for each.
In Poly, it is the same thing. I'm not too sure about the point system but here's an example from SP :
Grading System | Singapore Polytechnic
You will be taking about +/- 40 subjects (in poly, we call them modules)

I am taking Bioengineering now in SP and I'm aiming for NUS.
I am interested in taking Life Sciences(Biology) but according to the prerequisites, I can only take up Mechanical Engineering or Bioengineering.
Is it possible to apply to any course in Uni or must die die apply to related courses?
