NYJC UAS 85? Better than RI?[/quote]I believe it was stated somewhere in the forum that NYJC's UAS is median, not mean. Median is higher. Not sure why NJC and NYJC chose to publish median figures instead of mean ?

For 2018 A level my colleague niece get grades from B to E ( Math got E!)

this girl still can get into SMU Business , i am surprised , compared to nus/ntu - need at least 2As 1B for core H2 to enter business my time

SMU Biz is not easy to get in…with an E?! That’s incredulous, is she a national athlete or national musician or any accomplishments outside of school?

Was there an interview? Maybe she did well in that? Or she had exceptional talent elsewhere?

Would need to verify your colleague’s info wor. Unless there are special considerations, like the others said - national athlete, musicians etc BBE/A would not make the cut, especially with Math grade being E.

SMU IGP is here: https://admissions.smu.edu.sg/admissions/indicative-grade-profiles-igp

10th percentile is ABB/C. Does seem highly unlikely that someone with BBB/E can get a place.

Of the 3 major universities, SMU is known for being more \"holistic\" in its assessment. Interviews and other criteria count a lot. So even if her grades are not as good, there must have been something else that gave her an edge. Also, the universities publish the 10th percentile IGP, not the \"COP\". That gives them 9 percent of the places to be less grades-focused.

Her admission will have to be under special considerations aka DA - discretionary admission.

[doodbug]

Discretionary Admissions are for applicants who do not meet the IGPs. NUS, NTU and SMU admit up to 15% of their cohort via DA - this is not a small number.

Anyway, the university administration based on Academic result for COP. Last time my child CCA hockey in RI, the team played very hard, eventually they only won as third place in nation. As only first and second places can have the advantage for university adminition. End up the classmate applied NUS medicine as her scores not very good, NUS medicine did not give any chance for interview. She went to Australia university for studying. I felt it was not fair to the Sports students as they spent a lots of time for training and played very hard for the national competitions. Final it was because of one ball or one hit then became as third place. Eventually those sports students who played national competition, A level scores was not good as others. If they spent more time on their Studies, their A level scores should be much more better.

My child only fully concentered on the study after the national competition which is End of apr Jc2. Her friend came from rich family. As such she went to Australia study is not the problem for her. Hope she still can achieve her dream to become a doctor. While not every parents are rich enough to support for the child to go aboard for study.

I am confused for JAE posting and also fill for 12 choices in the form.
Would appreciate anyone can advice. Thanks in advance.
