My current situation :

GPA was 3.3 , Diploma in IT from local poly

Didn't get called up for interview.

Just checked online, and my app got rejected.

Anyone else in a fix similar to mine and don't know what to do? If i were to appeal, how do I go about doing that?

That happened to my friend too. Well according to http://www.smu.edu.sg/admissions/Apply-to-SMU_P7_Appeal.asp , we have to appeal online but i can't find the page to appeal to. Maybe the rejection letter will hav more info.. Did u receive the letter yet?

 

[valianth]

Nope; Yet to receive it, but from the looks of the FAQ on their site, it seems the Online Appeal feature will be enabled once we have received the rejection letter by snail mail so I'm assuming within the next few days. GG MAN I WANNA KILL MYSELF KBYE!

[agenda]

I want to appeal, but I can only appeal to Biz Mangement. Any ideas how I can appeal to my 4th choice SIS?

Think that is my best bet to get in, gpa at 3.47 and have a portfolio to show

[agenda]

agenda, there's only 3 choices in smu wat.... anw u can choose to appeal for change of course at the e-service! cheers

there was 4 for me lol. think its four.

what do u mean?

my first choice was biz and 4th was IS.

In my appeal page, it states that I was denied by biz while the checkboxes are only for reasons.

the change of course is for those offered a course but wish to change.
