t_a_s SG

I got a friend his A lev result average, A for Maths, B for Physics, D for Econs, H2 subjects, but was rejected when he applied engineering course. Can anyone give some idea what is the standard ? How the Uni select by choice,I mean 1st choice, u cant get, then they give other choice..... pls comment

Q.C.Pak SG

1st requirement...u must the $$

the rest doesnt matter...for heaven's sake

t_a_s SG

I mean local uni, result must be good or what

purpledragon84 SG

if im not wrong, ur choice doesn't matter.. if u choose engineering as 2nd choice but ur friend choose 1st choice and his grades lousier den u, u still get the engineering.. if ur 1st one din get la.. for example Law.. yah..

t_a_s SG

purpledragon84,

If my 1st choice Bioengineering, 3rd choice mechanical, my fren 1st choice mechanical, his result lose to me, I cant get my 1st choice, then who will get mechanical, me or my fren, plse advise thnks

purpledragon84 SG

u will get the mechanical.. i remembered quite clearly that the choice system for uni is different from those PSLE choose secondary school one, so that its put to benefit u the most and doesn't matter which choice u put..

but of coz my memory is open to objections.. lol..

whats ur 2nd choice? maybe u will get ur 2nd choice?

t_a_s SG

All rejected dont know why

purpledragon84 SG

all rejected? what u mean? u mean all 5/6 of ur choices rejected? if that's the case, then means ur results erm, not that good bah..

u do realise that the influx of FTs has jeopardised ur spot in uni rite?

eagle SG

GP get what?

t_a_s SG

GP D, I think they give priority to FT, wtf, my fren result average why cant go in NTU ?

t_a_s SG

purpledragon 84, r u in Uni now ? I think this year govt open up more places, still cant get in, that means the system got problem liao.

purpledragon84 SG

GP D ah.. wah.. abit challenging.. u want good info or bad info?

good info is, my fren last time triple A den GP D7 oso got into bioengine.. but that time not much FT..

bad info, i dun tink with average results and D for GP u can get an engineering place la.maybe if ntu u/ur fren should have tried common engine 1st..actually now the H1 and H2 thing i oso buay hiao la..

eh ya i in ntu lo..

and oh ya every year intake de standards not same one.. summore more and more FT coming in, the standards are just going to go up and up..

and when be careful about saying "the system got problem liao".. u may just invite some unwanted mouldy mushroom into the thread saying "survival of the cheapest!"

FirePig SG

Good News for poly pple: NTU, NUS is giving up more A level places to poly pple!

eagle SG

GP D, I think they give priority to FT, wtf, my fren result average why cant go in NTU ?

GP important mah...

I heard of pple with AAB and GP E and cannot get NUS first 3 choices...

t_a_s SG

What I mean the system got problem is, Maths and Phy the main subject for engine got A and B, can not go in, then for those C and D no need to say liao. Is the choice affect your entrance or not. May be choose wrong choice leh, but all 5 choices also engine what, may be FT factor, they give 20% to FT, meaning 20% of locals can't get in liao,

FirePig SG

Yeah, indirectly or directly, 20% of locals cant get in. But whining here doesnt help. I suggest you or your friend to write to the press.

eagle SG

English important leh... If very bad, then cannot write the many many reports properly liao... And cannot write the final thesis and technical paper properly liao...

But nowadays indeed harder to get in... Fortunately, I belonged to the batch 4 years ago....

purpledragon84 SG

aiya t_a_s, i ask u la.. u open a school, u let students enter, foreign student pay 10k, local student pay 6k, who u let to enter?
