Hi everyone,
I just completed my A levels last year, and i didn't do very well.. I only have 60 points. I originally intended to go to SMU Business but I don't think I have any chance with my disappointing grades. I'm now looking at overseas unis(mainly in aussie) to do engineering/IT/Business. Does anyone have any recommendations to what I should do? I wanted to take As again this year during army, but i don't think i have the discipline. Should I apply to overseas uni? Advice please!!

You don't even have the discipline to figure this out yourself. :(

There are 2 more singapore universities that offer business-related courses, SIT and UniSIM College. You can try apply for both as well.
You can also try take SAT test to boost your uni applications.

Have you been participating in business case competitions or any programmes related to business during your JC years?
Those will help your uni applications.

Feel free to apply overseas, if it gives you a form of safety or closure for your time in NS.

Budget in mind? Any overseas uni or strictly with top uni?
Overseas uni means what? Will Malaysia do? Or just uk and Canada? I want to work overseas upon graduation?
Experience what do you want from others?

Like some of the people said, can try SIM, SIT or overseas. I'm considering overseas as well. Just finished poly and my grades are not here not there. :(

i guess you have to see your budget lo. if can pay then overseas will be great. But since you are in NS, you got nothing to lose by retaking as a private candidate
