ITE> Poly > Local Uni?

[Zidane]

Hi everyone, I was a former ITE graduate and came from the long route. I did badly for my O levels L1r5 32 points, went on to ITE and SP. My gpa is about 3.6.

What are my chances of securing a place in uni since my ITE grades would not be taken into consideration in the 20% component?

Any students who have managed to enter local universities from ITE, mind sharing your experiences?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Must you attend a local uni? Considering your study route, you should be around 26 or 27 already if you're male and served NS, do you want to enter the job market as a fresh grad at 30?

Anyway, if you really want to enter local uni, just apply, no harm trying, only application fee gone if you fail.

If I were you though, I would start working and study part time to make up for the difference in work experience.

ya
study part time while working seems to be a better choice for u
else at 30...w/o work experience is quite diff to get a job...

lol .. study parttime is the worst choice ... unless u r doing part time master/phd...

if u r doing a part-time degree, u might as well flush ur degree down the toilet bowl ...

anyone can explain the 20% component thing? and so ite graduate loss out 20% ? so even if get GPA 4 at poly is only like 3.2% (- 20%out the component thing)? or they be looking only on the poly GPA?

Study a part time local Uni & start full time work as fresh poly gradute maybe no a good choice for TS.


This is because as a fresh poly gradute, he have alot of things to learn from company. He may needs to work OT. In this case, how is he going to go for his lessons?


Local Uni have more modules that D/L degree which mean alot of modules in 1 term, how is he going to have time to self study or do assignment? On top of that, local Uni also look at attendance. Do you think the company will always print out 'Letter of OT' to cover his attendance?


For Poly/Uni, I advice to study full time if you are a fresh gradute.

it will be considered as a case by case basis ... when they process ur application, they will take into your ITE background into consideration... after all not everyone took O level in poly ... so maybe they will use ITE GPA to replace the O lvl component ..

like TS, i finished my N lvl (Normal Tech) and moved on into ITE then to poly (SP). I was invited to attend the early admission for local uni talk last month. The dean from NTU said that those who do not have a O lvl result will get 0% for that component

First thing first, what is ur desired course, uni and your course? Seriously, I can tell u that for application to local uni, poly gpa is still the top consideration. No use having a tok kong o level result but getting a medicore poly gpa.

Why don't you just email/call up the admission dept of the local unis to check with them how they would evaluate your case. I doubt they will penalise you for the lack of O's.
