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

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!!

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!

You've a good chance (unlike say, Law, which has strict GP requirements). But you'll be required to take a Qualifying English Test, once admitted into NUS.

If you're sure you want to do Chem Eng, apply for NTU as well (eg. put it as 2nd choice), your chances are even higher at NTU.

Chem Eng is 33% Chemistry, 33% Physics, 33% Mathematics. You *must* be equally proficient and comfortable in all 3 subjects, to do well in Chem Eng.

No, only your Uni Admission Score matters.

As long as your Uni Admission Score is good enough for the particular Uni course (eg. NUS Chemistry, NTU Chemistry, etc), you can get into local Unis. But since you failed GP, you'll be required to take a Qualifying English Test, if admitted into NUS. NTU doesn't give a damn about whether you passed or failed your GP. Not sure about the other local Unis (SMU, SUTD, etc).

QET is easy to pass for the average Singaporean. English is not the same as GP.

Thanks for the reply.

If I'm not wrong, my uni admission score is 78.75. Is it worth trying for ntu biz?

Yes go ahead, you've nothing to lose.

FireIce SG

if 1 degree say is 10 units of study, double degree is 20 units (or maybe 18 if have combined modules), double major is 5 units each

UltimaOnline SG

Yes, thanks for pointing that out, FireIce.

WAIT! You only got H1 Physics??? Chem Eng requires H2 Phys + Math + Chem! All at H2! So to answer your qn, you got 0% chance.

shit...how? do they provide bridging modules?

I doubt it. You should contact the admissions office for both NUS and NTU to confirm for yourself.
