Hi guys it’s my first time posting here so apologies if i’m doing this wrongly in any way haha.

My A Lvl grades are as follows (total rp 68.75):
H2 lit: B
math: E
econs: D
H1 history: B
GP: A
PW: A

I am extremely keen to study English Lit in NTU but I don’t know if I stand a chance to with these grades... can anyone kindly advise? My other choices are sociology and psych, so some advice regarding those would be deeply appreciated as well! Thank you :)

i think NTU's FASS might have a good chance.

not sure if NTU NIE still accepting lower grades. Couple of years ago CCD could still enter NIE.

Worst case would be to go Poly Year 2 entry and try for Uni again.

HELP

Just curious i currently have a relatively poor grade for A level this year and considering to retake if needed in order to like better my GP or whatever to stand a better chance
My current grade for A levels:
H2 Math:A
H2 Chem:B
H2 Phy: C
H1 Econs: B
Gp: E
PW: A
HMTL: A (doubt its gonna be useful anyways?)

Am thinking of applying for SMU business if possible and if possible the rest of the business course in the other local uni like NTU and NUS but looking at the lowest 10th percentile in the IGP for which NUS was like ABB/B, do i still stand a chance in it? Be it through appeal or DA though I am from sports CCA and have only colours award seemingly from the sport i was in.
Also, would like to know if the GP wld be a killer for the uni to consider my application as ive heard that the minimum criteria for NUS is C and NTU is a D.

Thanks in advance and hope to hear from those with exp asap as I would be on my way overseas and would not have much time to substantiate my essay(as i heard you need to write one through appeals?)or to prepare myself to dig for old achievement which i do not possess much other than CCA leadership positions or Adiv positions should i choose to apply through appeal or DA

If needs to pay for liquidated damage, that could be one of the reason why 3G SAINT's sister does not want her son and herself as surety to take the risk. So 'free school fee and free allowance and secure job' depend if one can success and dare to take the risk.

Foreigners can just run back to their home country without paying for liquidated damage but there is no way for Singaporeans. Even local Student and 1st local surety run away, they will still chase after 2nd or even 3rd local surety. 3 to 4 Singaporeans are involved and unable to run away. Foreign Student's surety are mostly their parent who live in their home country. Never see our government or sponsoring organizations engage lawyer in their home country to chase back their money for liquidated damage.


Of coz have to pay for damages
