That's the harsh truth.
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.
Unfortunately, there are students who spent a lot of time training and still can get good grades.
And that's why i also never advocated for Sports DSA if your grades are no where near the school's COP. -

IB score of 43 gets a go for regular Med admission.
Did QZW get into Med by DA or regular admissions? (I thought regular....as he met the grade for being shortlisted)
Example of train very hard still can do well. And IB is not easier, not for ACSI, SJI. -

I heard DA. He could have been shortlisted with 43, but people can choose to still opt for DA to boost their chances, especially if they don't have perfect scores and are Olympians to boot.

Extracting from YLLSOM’s website:
Your application for admission will first be considered under the standard admissions pathway by the NUS Office of Admissions. If your University Admissions Score meets the cut-off point for Medicine, you will be shortlisted and invited for interviews and you will not be considered an EIS candidate.
If you do not meet the cut-off point set by the NUS Office of Admissions, your application will be considered under the EIS. You will not need to submit another portfolio, as your EIS application will serve as your portfolio for the FSA if you are shortlisted. -

Yes, so people who don't have perfect scores or aren't 100% sure they will be called up for interviews can fill up the EIS section of the application. What I'd heard was that he'd gotten in via EIS.

@jtoh, thanks for sharing information. Really amazing IB result for national swimmer Quah Zheng Wen.
Recently looks at IB and A levels, I realize that IB need more team work than A level. And IB need To study English literature. For O level students to study IB, also not easy. -
Thks all for the sharing on uni admission pt.
From the UAS scoring. , I read above
The 4th H2 or H1 full pls is capped at 10,
May o know why Some Alevel kids want to take 4 H2 n not 3H2 +H1 , I thought lesser load in content n more time for other subject , take Economics as example to compare H2vs H1. -

One of the reasons is because some scholarship requires candidates to have 4H2 instead of 3H2+1H1.

The main reason for taking 4 H2, I believe, is simply that it looks better for purposes of university application and scholarship interviews where competition is fierce. Some kids like the feeling of stretching themselves, and with peer pressure as well, those who can do it will usually take 4 H2s. It also depends on what the university prerequisites are for courses - having more H2s may mean a wider choice of courses which is good for those who are still undecided where they are heading. And I think you can only take H3 in a subject if you are already taking H2, so again it gives more options. My daughter started off liking Chem more (Econs was an unknown) but ended up liking Econs best, took H3 Econs and is studying it at university.

Also, for some subjects, and Econs apparently is one of them, the H1 is more than half of the load (some say as much as 70%!), so it's not really \"worthwhile\" taking it at H1. I don't know this for a fact, but that's what I've heard.
