  Hi, I recently graduated from RP but my GPA wasn't that great - 2.7. I didn't do very well in year 1 and I regretted but in year 2 and 3 I studied very hard. Now I want to pursue a degree in business in a university but with that GPA, for sure I can't get a spot. So I thought of taking another diploma in another poly (RP has no school of business) in school of business after my NS and then do very well and then go to university. I know this is a long path as I calculated that by the time I enter the job market, I'll be 29 years old. But honestly I don't really mind and I think in life there is no right no wrong. So any advice?

  You may need poly GPA of around 3.8+ to get into business in the 3 local Singapore unis.

  Which is why.... I'm considering taking another diploma. I could take courses on it though but I think a diploma is more recognized and definitely a safer option
