Cut-Off Points for Uni Admission (the big 3)
-
MOE had required all 3 local universities to release cut-off grades for all degree programs today:
NUS: http://admissions.nus.edu.sg/sprogramme-igp.html
NTU: http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/oad2/pdfs/COP.pdf
SMU: http://www.smu.edu.sg/admissions/downloads/pdf/Samp%20Notif%20(SMU)%20COP%20FINAL%20with%20FAQs.pdf
I call them Big 3 for fun only hor.

Thanks, crimson soldier. This is useful. And would serve to inspire 'O' level students to work hard to achieve the required grades for their dream University courses.
I've copied, pasted, edited the 3 urls onto (the 1st post of) 2 of my stickied threads

Wow, without 3 As for A level nowadays. It will be hard for you to enter local universities.
-
Yes, every year the competition gets fiercer and fiercer. There are also more and more foreign students to compete for places in the local Universities.
Read this article "Stressed-out varsity applicant? Check"

yup, tough competitions...

Cool. There goes my chance of getting into Pharmacy.
Anyway, what it means by the 10th and the 90th percentile. Can someone care to explain? Haha. I only looked at the table but never read the text.

Why suddenly NTU,NUS and SMU become the "big 3"?

cause it's history time

Only 4 local universities right? The other one being SIM.
Why "big 3" leaving SIM out?
Why not "big 1" or "big 2" or "big 4" ?
-
I was thinking about the Big 4 accounting firms as I wrote that so just decided to add "big 3" tongue-in-cheek. You can take it as sarcasm or pride on my part ;D

Imagine 100 students made it to Medicine. Rank them from the top (100th place) to the lousiest (1st place). In 90th place (near the top best), is a student who got A,A,A,A. In the 10th place (near the bottom lousiest), is a student who got A,A,A,A.So you can roughly take the 10th percentile as the cut-off point. But as far as Medicine is concerned, it's a moot point. Coz every year over a thousand AAAA students apply for medicine and there are only 200 places each year.
-
although there is the intake statistics for the 2008 intake as listed the above, what abt the intake quota for this year?
-
After seeing that, i very sad ...
-
Don't be discouraged.
The admission list is compiled based on the assumption that the applicant's GP
and PW are both C6.
If an applicant can improve his / her GP and PW grades to B4, then even his /
her 3H2 and 1H1 grades are BCD/C, the applicant can still get into the
NUS/NTU/SMU even if the cut off grades are BBC/C.

oh my god need 3A's
-
hey the NTU and NUS links don't seem to be working...
-

Overseas degree? Just that you study in Singapore. I think so.
-
Cut off grades for MDIS and SIM cannot be compared with the cut off grades for
NUS/NTU/SMU lah. The cut off grades of MDIS and SIM are much lower than that
of the cut off grades for NUS/NTU/SMU lor.

Yes, but there are more people who want to be doctors compared to people who want to be lawyers. -
