Good luck to all A Level Students!

this shall be the official thread for all discussion pertaining to A level results and uni application
all other threads will be deleted

Hope I can go NUS.

Hey guys. I received a letter from NUS dated 25th February. It seems to be an invitation to apply for its undergraduate programmes, attaching a pin in which i am to use when applying for courses. I am curious to know the following:
- Did anyone recieve the same letter?
- Has anyone received it in the past?
- Do all unis already know our A level results?
I am merely clarifying and i hope i recieve relevant answers.To all A level candidates collecting your results in 4 days time, i wish everyone all the best! :) -

2. I got a place in NUS and will be matriculating this year (if all goes well), the letter will come first, which allows you to apply using the pre-filled form (which minimize the need to fill in personal info like name, NRIC as well as results, which does not need to be verified (no supporting info needed)). The PIN is also handy as you don't need to think of a new PIN when you apply. This PIN will be the one you apply for financial assistance and like a password to the NUS admission portal.
3. NUS should know on the day. NTU I'm not sure the proceedure, as my offer is under early admission.
Jiayou also =)

Even if your results don't turn out as good as you hoped, don't despair. Here are 10 currently successful Singaporeans who also screwed up their A levels back then.

Your chances are not good, but go ahead and try. Also apply for NTU Science, for which your chances are slightly better. -
My UAS is 65. Possibly the worst score to have.
My current thoughts are as follows and I have several questions.
1. Go overseas university - do a foundation or diploma pathway course.
- Expensive. I am the only child and my parents are ardent savers, but I feel extreme guilt in asking them to pay for my education.
*Do local banks offer loans for overseas university fees?
+ End product of a degree is still achievable
2. Go NYP Healthcare course,
+ Healthcare, a field I don't mind. However, I am not sure if I'm the kind of 'caring' person a physiotherapist should be.
+ One year degree conversion course available
- Not exactly my passion. I am not sure if I can see myself doing this for the rest of my life.
3. Go poly to do 3 year diploma
+ What I had originally wanted to do right after 'O' levels.
- I think I missed the application dateline (Missed JAE?)
* Is there an alternate intake for A level grads?
4. Try for NTU Art, Design and Media
+ Design is definitely something I am into. My CCA in secondary school was very relevant to what they do.
- I do not have a portfolio. But I do have strong leadership + CCA records.
Private universities are not within my options. I just don't believe in them. They cost too much but they aren't as recoginized as a degree from a local university. I don't think it's worth the investment. Neither is repeating A levels. It was my mistake in allowing my parents to control my decisions back then.
Any advice from people who've been in a similar place?

I jux got bac alvl results.

Can i get to nus chem eng? And will my gp grade nt allow me to get in?
Thx -
Hi tbb, can try for nus chem engine. But competition is stiff.
You may also consider other choices.

Hi I also received my result and was fking disappointed.
GP:E
H2 Mathematics: A
H2Physcis: A
H2 Chemistry:A
Econ: B
PW:B
HTML: A
My rank point is 83.75
I also targetting Chem Engineering either NUS or NTU my second choice will be NTU Business. Sigh very difficult right. Please advice

Hi guys! I just got back my results too! I'm a music person so I alr applied for NAFA but I wouldn't really want to get in. Because there's no future in music in sg (I will never want to be a music teacher private or school) or overseas (bo lui ar)
GP: D (
)H2 Maths: B
H2 Econs: C
H2 Geography D
H1 Chem: C
PW and Chinese: B
I want to do SMU social sciences but their cut off is 72.5 rank points, BBC/C if I'm not wrong, but mine is only 67.5. I want to study for Human Resource Management. What are other courses that are related to HR in the other unis?
I feel really really bad right now because I really did study very hard and did lots of practice and consultations and revision... And I have been getting mediocre results ever since primary school. This is my worst yet.

Momento asks :
hi, my a level results were bbb/b i am planning biomedical engineering. I heard the the BME is dying and it would be hard for me to find jobs with this degree. Is this true? Is having a computer engineering degree much more useful compared to BME?
Both degrees are approximately the same in terms of employability. But because these 2 degrees are worlds apart in content, the most important factor is personal interest, without which it would be difficult to secure the degree (unlike O and A levels in which you can just force yourself through). -

Apply for NUS Chem Eng 1st choice (lower chance), and NTU Chem Eng 2nd choice (higher chance). 3rd choice onwards consider very carefully. Choose a Uni course (eg. a related course such as Chemistry) that you've interest in and passion for, because unlike O and A levels where you can just force your way through, Uni studies require personal interest and passion to secure that degree. -

These days there are more options available to enterprising individuals without formal paper qualifications, as long as you have access to funding (preferably family finances, or alternatively crowd-funding) and have creative ideas for business startups.
If on the other hand, you think you would feel more secure with a recognized paper qualification from a local Uni : NUS/NTU/SMU etc, then you may have to seriously consider retaking your A levels as a private candidate (btw, it may take more effort to study from scratch, with or without tuition, but you can consider changing to a new H2/H1 subject that you've interest in, but couldn't take it in JC).
Private Uni degrees are more expensive and less recognized, so caveat emptor. -
Hi! Does anyone know if our citizenship status will affect our chances of getting into a course? And also, I got As for my 4H2s (BCME) and E for my gp, A for pw. Do I still stand a chance for NUS pharmacy?? >< Thanks!!

Citizenship slightly affects your chances, in that there is a quota for Singaporeans vs Foreigners for each Uni course, and/or for each Uni. The Unis won't divulge the quotas, however. And the exact quotas may differ from Uni to Uni, and from course to course.
Yes, you've a chance (albeit a small one) for NUS Pharmacy (unlike say, Law, which has strict GP requirements). But you'll be required to take a Qualifying English Test, if admitted into NUS.

Hi everyone! I jsut got back my results and they were pretty bad...
GP:A
H2 Bio:C
H2 Math:C
H2 Chem:S
H1 Econs:D
Right now, I'm thinking of retaking my A's cause I really want to study in the UK.I was wondering whether I could skip retaking GP since I got an A for it (I checked out the unis and most require 3 H2s and they never state anything about GP) and whether I should change my subject combinations.As you can see, my chemistry is the worst.I never liked chemistry, not even in secondary school.I was actually thinking of swapping it with english language and linguistics since I have a strong command in english but I quite wary though cause I would only have a few months do study the subject.I was also thinking of swapping econs with history since I want to study history in university.Currently I'm thinking of going to MDIS.Is it good? Are there better ones? I would really appreciate any advice cause I'm quite indecisive right now...

If UK Uni, then you gotta email them to confirm GP requirements. If local Uni, you have to take all your subjects in one sitting to calculate your Uni Admission Score.
If you're willing to give H2 Chemistry one more shot, consider having tuition with Mr Chong. He's very effective in helping weak students. http://www.infinity.usanethosting.com/Tuition/#MrChong -
Hey ultima could u rate my chances for nus chem eng? AAAA GP D PW B
And is it true that chem eng is more on physics than chem? Hah thx

Hi, based on IGP (AAA/A and assumed GP and PW = C) you stand a chance but based on past few years trend it seems that GP and PW is tilted to a B&C kind of cut off.
For citizenship, for foreigners there's a quota that NUS can take in, 10% = 21 spaces, hence, competition may be keener
But still put it as 1st choice and have good alternatives too!
