The 10th percentile is actually for those students with 'exceptional talents & achievements'! I still think you can try to appeal! But you need to decide if you want Science or Engineering Science as we can only appeal for one course! Good luck!!
Yea I know right. After I get offer from NUS, I don't feel like bothering about NTU already.
In fact I am waiting to see if NTU will offer me for my first choice, Accountancy D: and I am thinking if I should appeal for Pharmacy as it is really unlikely to get it sad.gif
I am thinking to appeal for Accountancy in NUS instead as I am also interested in Accounting and personally think that Accountancy will give me a wider route compare to Science D: but still undecided if I want to leave Science field sad.gif

Hahaha, I think I will appeal for Science.

If you really get accountancy from NTU, I think you really have to go NTU already, accountancy in NTU can be considered as the most competitive course. Mostly occupied by Singaporean, if foreigner get it means you are really damn good already!

Eh why? I thought you said you like chemistry last time also right? If I'm not mistaken? But well, how would you say so that accountancy gives you a wider route to Science? For me, I think Science always has the widest career prospective next time, if next time you graduated with Science degree and feel like going into financial industry/ corporate world to work, you will still be able to do so. But if you graduated with Accountancy, and want to do Science, definitely you can't turn back. If you want to involve in accountancy, next time you graduated with degree in Science, you can still take up professional paper like ACCA or ICAEW right.

Anyways, I also wish all the best in your appeal and hope you make up your mind on which course to appeal!
I'm pretty much settled down with appealing Science already!  biggrin.gif

Sometimes I have to face the reality sad.gif I love Science but I have interest in Accounting too (as I took up Accounting for spm). Probably I am still bothered by the name of 'professional' sad.gif I still need some time to make up my mind D:
Anyway I will consider what you said!! Thank you!! And all the best to you!! Good luck! smile.gif

if u guys hv not realize it yet, only certain sc courses hv high demand, eg. medicine, pharmacy, actuarial sc, and a few others only... social sc is higher in demand, law, econs, accts, business courses... etc etc is even more competitive on avg

if u end up at engineering, chances are a lot of ur classmates are msians or prcs or indians... local sg prefers business subjects

also dont bother about professional or not, if u hv acca vs ntu/nus/smu bac of accts, the academic degree will be more highly sought after

Acca vs academic degree, the academic degree will be more highly sought after? I thought acca is more preferable?
I am really not confident with the future of Science as it is not in high demand sad.gif

Hi I am aware that NUS normally takes in students with 4 subjects but I only have 3 (3A*) . I got rejected by the business school and Im planning to appeal. Does anybody here has appealed before and what are the chances of getting accepted if i appeal?  icon_question.gif

Cruel to tell you the truth, it is very unlikely your appeal will be success as:
1. NUS prefers students with 4 subjects. It is stated in their website.
2. You will be competing with students with 4 subjects and most of them are even 4A*s or 3A*s1As or Singaporeans with 3As and above
3. Business is a very hot course in NUS/NTU, many Singaporeans want it and the seats are limited (for last year BBA + BBA(Acc) take in around 700 students only).

Did any Malaysian ever manage to get into Pharmacy course at NUS?

Really hope that I can study Pharmacy at Singapore after STPM...

From what I know, there is two 4A*s a levels students managed to get into Pharmacy this year. I am not sure what makes them outstanding tho. I will say, probably it depends on your luck smile.gif
