University Application help

Hi, i took my A Levels last year and is currently in army, my grades are CCD/D GP B, PW B. I applied for all 3 local unis last year and failed to get into any of the courses(probably because i was overestimating my marks). Anyone know of any courses in local uni which i can put as first choice so that i can enter with my grades? I know its a bit low, but i dont really wanna retake....

FireIce SG

better to retake so tt u have more choices instead of stuck with no choice and u need to endure 3-4 yrs to study something u are totally not int in or good at........ end up flung the course oso...... waste lagi more time........

The point is i am not sure of what i want also, so my plan is to just get a local uni degree and just secure my future.

You should just retake. If its just based on grades, I doubt you would make the cut even for the ones with the lowest requirements.

If its as uncertain as you know it, how to even secure future?

NUS ARTS maybe can

go in already do econs all these, if you are that type

FireIce SG

since when having a local uni deg = securing future?

I wonder if you can still get into nus if you have just a BBB.

As a student, TS cannot wonder.

ThunderFbolt SG

with so many people with good results taking up the teaching award, NIE also probably won't want CCD...

FireIce SG

NIE is very desperate

i heard before they accepted a CDD.
but tt was many yrs ago.
