      [quote=Singkiasu post_id=2015819 time=1614138181 user_id=75778]Hi all,

      My DS just managed to touch 80 rank points for A level. A/B/B/B
      He is planning to join computer engineering at NUS or NTU.Can someone please share your opinion on this?
      Can he it? And why first choice is always important?

      NUS has the https://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/undergraduate-programmes/1st-Choice.

      Hi, I did not researched on the cut-off but I assume the word 'managed' is defined as you had made it to the cut-off mark.

      Be wary that this does not guarantee you admission into NTU/NUS, 'managed to touch' is just the cut off point. For example, the cut-off point for medicine is 85, if the entire Singapore lets say average get 87.75, only 280 places in Med available, do you think you would even stand a chance?

      There was one year, 2017, which a student miraculously got into Medicine by 85 rank points, that was a such rare occurrence that I would even call it a 'miracle' as others would had been scoring above 85.

      For your case 80 is the cutoff. I wish you the best as not to burst your bubble, but you have to write a very convincing what I mean VERY convincing proposal. Lets say interview stage is given to all. You would have to get merely full marks. This would let you to become a 87.75 rank point student who has did badly for his interview stage.

      I wish you the best of luck. May you strike miracle.[/quote]Hello I also forgot about the bonus points. However, that would only be implemented with your portfolio after your first try of admission which means that you got rejected the first try. The second one is going to be very tough for the 'people' to get convinced.

      Hello if I am taking N level combine science will I still be able to take double H2 sciences?
      N level combine science are for students willing to take the poly route. If you want to take double H2 science, you have to study until secondary 5 in order to get certified O level combine science.

    • RE: Application for NUS/NTU Medicine 2020/2021

      Hello one question.


      Is higher mother tongue D7 for O level compulsory for NTU med school or is it a choice? If I am not taking higher mother tongue and I got an S grade for H1/H2 mother tongue, does it still suffice?

      Thanks.

      Is 6 subject combination offered in JC? Of what I had heard, majority or the normal is 3H2 1H1 so its 4 subject.

      NUS medicine requires 6 subjects (ie. 4H2 2H1) subjects.

      It is Project Work (PW, H1) + General Paper (GP, H1) plus either a) 4H2 or b) 3H2 1H1. PW and GP are compulsory so I believe people only really refer to 4H2 or 3H2 1H1 as what you \"chose\" to take.

      Note, some kids can also take an H3 class and if you take Knowledge and Inquiry (KI) you don't need to take GP, so there are some add'l permutations on top of what is above.

      Hi for 4H2 is English and MTL compulsory actually since 4H2 no H1 subj unless GP & PW

      NUS Medince Chances

      Online says ¼ let us prove it…

      2000 applicants apply to study for medicine annually
      1200 gets shortlisted
      (1200/2000)x100=60%
      Those people / students who are afraid of not getting accepted for shortlist round as you cannot appeal after that, you have not 50/50 but 60/40 chance of getting shortlisted. 40% rejected for shrtlist rnd.

      Hooray! You had just completed 1/2 the challenge to medicine!

      After you had completed your interview. NUS ONLY secures 280 places for this current year.
      That means (280/1200)x100=23% which is near equivalent to ¼.

      Do not worry if you got rejected this round, you can appeal next round next year via aptitude based admission.
      Keep your hopes high, if you secure NTU and NUS both places you would have 46% chance of getting accepted to one of those schools (nearly 50/50).

      If you were to appeal, you would have to write a 1000 essay and it must be related to your dedication towards medicine. Tip 1, Prove it.

    • RE: Application for NUS/NTU Medicine 2020/2021

      Does anyone have tips on being overqualified for medical school? Down below are the list what I think of as it.

      - Other than sufficing the minimum requirement you must score straight A’s for all subjects to secure a place in med.
      - During your entrance essay, include achievements in relationship with bio/chem or other subjects. Your essay must be a grade A type.

      Anyone want to object? Or provide tips?

      Hiii! About private candidates. If I am studying in a government school and graduated from it will I still be able to sign up as a private candidate?
