                I think it's for those who got their A Level Results recently although I'm surprised someone said JC 2 also got invited.

                In fact, not all of nylon DS' classmates received the invitation.

                    Hi, my first child to uni this year. Therefore, there’s a lot of stuff I would need help.


                    1) how many courses can one apply in a uni?
                    2) given that her grades are really not that good (c, D n E in maths), is there any chance for her to apply any uni?
                    3) is study loan advisable?

                    Please help to reply. Thank you so much.

                      There is a separate application form for each university, and I can't remember how many choices there are on each form. At least a few for each university, I think.

                      Look for \"Inidicative Grade Profile\" for each course which will be somewhere on each university's website. They will show the grades of the 90th and 10th percentile admissions from last year. If your child's grades are better than the 10th percentile, there is a reasonable chance that she can get in. If the grades are around the 10th percentile, she can still try, especially if her other H1 subjects are good. For eg, my daughter applied for a course where the 10th percentile IGP was BBC/C when her grades were BBD/C. She managed to get in, possibly because her GP and PW were both B's, and she also took a test and was interviewed, so maybe she didn't do too badly in those. But you should also check that she satisfies the prerequisites for the course.

                      I don't know anything about study loans.

                        My son received this high tea invite too. But he is not attending. He said all friends who gotten their A lvl results also got it.
