Congratulations to everyone whose child received good grades yesterday! As parents I think the most important thing is that regardless of how well or poorly our child has done, we should still be proud and reward and encourage them for the effort and work they put in and the time they have sacrificed.


That said while I am proud of my daughter's results, I'm a bit worried about her uni application because compared to previous years, her results have fallen short of the NUS business criteria. And since right now we can't change her grades (she can't retake her H1 since she doesn't have NS), we are looking at the application process..

My question is what's the application process like and also the interview for NUS business or other courses? And also more specifically how important is the personal statements for the uni applications?

Thank you!

Randy :thankyou:

Hi there I don't have enough KP to start a new thread since I'm new here so I'm hijacking this thread. Basically my daughter received her A level results yesterday and it wasn't too ideal.


My question is, how important is personal statements to applying for universities overseas, and also locally? She is looking at getting into some overseas schools (still undecided but open to it) and NUS business school but I think her grades have just fallen short of the required rank points for NUS biz.

Any parents or undergrad here who has any experience with it that can share their perspective?

Thank you and much appreciated
