How do you overcome your disappointment if your chosen university refused your application?

move on. not the end of the world.

For early admission to local universities that requires predicted grades, does the school send the predicted grades directly to the university that requested it? Or, the student must ask the school to send it to the university?

The JC will auto submit if they feel the student is qualified. Of course, the university will still get given the high number of submissions.

How many applications to universities did you process? Were you nervous about processing your application?

Do you mean that the universities already received the predicted grades before they send early admission application invitation to students?

JCs send the predicted grades directly to the universities. For local unis, the JCs recommend the students for early admissions and may already have submitted their predicted grades to them.

Thank you for the explanation Jtoh. The emails from local unis mentioned about predicted grades but did not mention that they have already received the predicted grades so I was wondering about it.

jtoh ,

am curious, does tis mean that A level students may be admitted to uni based on JC predicted grade n recommendations
is this a confirmed admission ?
what if the A level results contradict due to mishap?

Thanks!

I'm not sure about the local unis but for overseas unis, you will be given a conditional offer. Meaning you have to meet the stipulated grades before your admission is confirmed. I suspect it's the same for the local unis. Note that not all courses are eligible for early admission in the local unis.

Would like to seek parents’ views on what considerations go into your child taking up an overseas scholarship.


Other than the prestige, the overseas education opportunity, job security, and of course the costs consideration (that it doesn’t have to be self-funded). Are there concerns that at 18 years old, the child has to be sure (committed) that that’s the course, path & vocation sought, to undertake to be bonded for at least 6 years?

It’s just that these days, local Universities have a range of study abroad options, and though perhaps not the same as actually studying & living abroad for 3-4 years in a prestigious overseas University, that at least is also an avenue to "study abroad" somewhat, instead of deciding to take up a bond so early on at 18 years old?

There are always personal considerations that go into it, so am just seeking views / opinions. Thank you.
