UNSW Competition / Paper

[Happy Mama]

jtoh:

Yes, only the medal winners are invited for the prize presentation ceremony. Medal winners are the top scorers of that particular subject in Singapore.


A High Distinction in UNSW is a plus for DSAs but depending on the school you apply for, the importance of it will vary. For eg at NUSH, a lot of the students applying there would have High Distinctions in Math and Science so it's like de rigeur. At some other schools, a High Distinction would be looked upon more favorably at DSA. Someone I know who had High Distinctions in Science, Math and English saw the interviewers pointing at her UNSW certs and nodding her head during the interview.

Hi jtoh, based on the above, can I confirm that there will be no medal or award for High Distinction? Only the top scorer for each subject per cohort will receive a medal ie only 3 per level?

Oh dear, I've just mislead DD into thinking she'll get an award for her English. :slapshead: :slapshead:

:thankyou: Just4Fun. Yes DD is in Pri 4 this year.
I'm surprised she received the English results so early because for Science, they got back almost 3 weeks after most of you received the results.

I've not heard of anyone around me who got medal award too, but I'm sure there're many with the KSP forum though.
