U mean her prelim consists of C and Bs? Did she hv a holistic portfolio? My understanding is SMU doesn’t usually offer prov scholarship prior to A results. My gal and her friends also applied to SMU and none heard back (I think double degree but similar course thou).She gotten SMU’s admission offer. No scholarship reply yet.

This is based on my kid’s experience (took A levels in 2023).
NUS, NTU and SMU will send out invitations to selected JC students to apply for early admission. This is based on prelim results and possibly the subjects the kids read. (Those who did Physics and are selected, receive invitations particularly to apply to NUS and NTU Engineering.) I’m not sure if all courses have early application / admission. Medicine for example, I’ve not heard of early offers of admission before.
My kid applied to SMU provisionally for both scholarship, and degree course. Subsequently, after the A level results were released, my kid applied to NUS for the course, but for whatever reason, did not apply for the NUS scholarship. I left everything to the kid to decide on and handle.
Interviews for the SMU scholarship were conducted after the A level results were released even though the application was submitted in the early round. Offer of admission and scholarship were received probably in April or May (cannot recall precisely). NUS’ offer was received later than SMU’s for the course. Not sure about NUS scholarship as no application was made.

Thanks for sharing. May I know why is there no interest in NTU? -
@Imp75 Oh! My kid only had one course choice (didn’t put in a 2nd choice for the NUS and SMU applications - duh!) and NTU does not offer the course.
We have nothing against NTU
In fact we rather like the NTU option of a 3-year degree programme with honours for progrfammes like Business and Accountancy. -
A level results release date is just around the corner. Any parent feeling the anxiety? This is the second national exams for my kids and honestly I am feeling very normal and indifferent, very different from the time when they collected the PSLE results.

I try to just observe whatever sensations I have objectively, whenever the outcome of their results cross my mind - neither suppress or dramatise them. During PSLE, my DD had a fever the night before her science paper. We let her sleep early that night. The thinking then was to play the card we are dealt with as best as we can and leave the rest to nature.
On a more logical note, the time to be anxious is already over - that is, during their exams preparation/taking time. After that, it is marking time and it’s something outside our control. Being anxious now cannot change anything

All the best to those collecting results on Friday!

@Imp75 all the best for tmr’s results!
Do parents usually go and sit in the hall? Or will they wait at home for their teens to text them when they are ready?
