I am currently a final semester student taking Business (Specialised in Banking and Finance) in Temasek Polytechnic with my 5th semester CGPA of 3.11. Any chance I can enter the local universities with my GPA? I still have 1 more semester to go to pull up my GPA.

I'm from TP Aerospace Electronics with 5 sem GPA of 3.38 and I don't even think the big 3 consider me. Even with 6 sem GPA pull up or down it doesn't really matter, your GPA is fixed. Lets pray hard but try not to be too hopeful :s22:

Hey. I am Y1 in NBS currently. And I would say you have a good chance to enter NBS. I have a handful of poly friends who got into NBS with 3.7ish this year. Particularly one friend from BFS also with 3.7 without any cca portfolio, so it is definitely worth a shot. Also, your o level will help you pull up the 20%.

On a side note, SMU should be safe as long as you dont screw up your interview.
NUS wise, I am not very sure but prolly lower chance.

Thanks for giving me your opinion!! Along with the rest, really appreciate it :D

From my experience, they don’t really take 6th sem GPA into account :(

Yep, kind of in a dilemma now, not sure if SIT would accept this results? I've got a scholarship from TP for my major project, maybe that can help?:s11:

I'm looking at courses like EEE and Aersopace systems or Electrical and IT

Worth a shot :) especially if you apply through discretionary admission!

Because you’ll be applying with ur 5th sem GPA in Feb (since 6th sem won’t be out yet). You’ll only get to upload 6th sem GPA later, but honestly don’t know what impact it has on the result of the application 😬

What's the basis for this though?

I'm not sure if my scholarship is applicable to be used for DA's... I've got an award of excellence for my major project and received 500$ from the organisation. From my understanding scholarship means you're getting money along with an award. Only 5 people got it in the entire cohort so i'm not certain if it is considerable, could you advise? :s12:

Final sem result is to ensure that u will pass and graduate, so first 5 sem is impt.

There’s an essay portion for DA, if you can tie that in to demonstrate your aptitude and interest for the course, shouldn’t be a problem to get an interview? All the best! Remember to get recommendation letters from ur lecturers too

Do you guys think it's useless to take double degree? EG. accounting + biz admin

I would say the DDP is only useful if you're specialising in Banking & Finance for the Business portion... However, it is still useful if you're still figuring out the career you want to pursue in the future...

I heard that you can apply first, and if you get rejected, you can try appealing with your final CGPA. Though not sure if the chances are high.
