You think you JC kid ah? +1.25 points for their first choice during application. Pretty lame scheme that is skewed towards the jc kids and unfair for the poly kids. Even if +1.0 GPA in your case, you won't even get an interview. Pray hard. :s13:

But he say I stand a good chance tho? He say with poly background in biomedical, I might be able apply through DA

Hi I'm posting on behalf of my son

He did his IB in 2017 and serving BMT now

Just applied for SMU on 18/3/18. one day b4 closing.

Was choosing between accountancy and business as first choice and put accountancy as first choice in the end.

Then yesterday received email from SMU telling him he has been accepted into accountancy and invited to attend discovery tour on the 24/3.

However if his book out timing can't make it for the tour on the 24/3 the acceptance is still valid right ?

He is still waiting for reply from NUS and NTU. Last check today NUS is still processing.

I heard that SMU will give out the offer letter to your son on that day. Can you call SMU to ask whether will his offer still be valid if your son never attends the event?

Hi! I am a poly student from SP,

I have graduated with a cgpa of 2.537. I would to apply for a local uni, will it possible to get into medicine? I have studied biomedical science in SP and my L1R4 for O level was 6. During my time in sp, I was a exco who organize and manage many orientation camps. Is there anyone who can give me advise on what to do? Do you think I stand a good chance especially with such contributions to the school?

My friend told me that I stand a good chance in enrolling but I would like to seek more opinions. I am currently waiting for my application status but I have no news yet :( rate my chances please.

I think it will be better for you to start finding a job than to apply for any university.

I don’t get it tho why all the good courses like medicine and law always give JC kids the priority? Like with the 1.25 extra RP points. Really regret not going JC tho

If I'm not wrong, the bonus points of 1.25 RP only applies to courses that do not have interview, so medicine is not included.

LOL

The report already stated clearly the 1.25 extra RP does not apply to medicine, dentistry and law

Normally they book out on Friday and go back on Sunday so should be no problem.

But sometimes one week book out on Thursday and following week book out on Sat instead

Hopefully this week normal pattern

Will only know when nearer to weekend.

But his gpa cannot make it :s13: :s13: not so easy for poly kids to enter local U due to the cumulative gpa system and O level score is accessed . If either one is bad, forget about advancing to local. Consider retake poly ? Or A levels too.

He did very well in O Level sia.

My application is still processing. Have not been rejected yet and besides I think I score better than you for O level

Well my bro's O level result may not as gd as yours but he's now in NUS with his average A Level result. Frankly speaking ur GPA result really sucks! So be more realistic!
