@jtoh & Patent, thanks for advise.
While if the student takes 4H2 + 1PW+1GP, then how to calculate ? Let’s said , all As. How much is the UAS ?

Here is a UAS calculator. Just enter your grades.

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.

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.
