<p>CJC man
sigh, i hope can straight Bs for prelims…</p>
<p>Haha. Ok. </p>
<p>Good Luck for your results. Btw, It is great that your school is predicting two grades up. That is generous. My school only predicts one grade up. Sigh!!!</p>
<p>Anyways, What school you applying to?</p>
<p>NYU Stern ED.
I did get about 2 As and 3Bs for Promo though, im just afraid that if i submit both promo and prelims, they saw the downward trend and thats gonna hurt me. Bs dont look quite nice i think.(i dont even know whether i can make it all Bs yet :|)</p>
<p>@Suarez606:what jc are u grom?</p>
<p>ACS. </p>
<p>Cool. Ure Interested in business huh.</p>
<p>Btw, how are your SATs coming along? U applying another sch? </p>
<p>I am most prob majoring in Phy. :)</p>
<p>just saw this singaporean guy with 2200+ on SATs I and 2300+ on SATs II getting rejected from almost all his unis, now studying at UW-Madison.</p>
<p>ok this is disheartening:(</p>
<p>edit: also, people here keep insisting that the last 4 years of high school count, so why do singaporeans here insist that no reporting of sec 3 and 4 marks are needed?</p>
<p>
seriously, i know people who mugged alot until they get 2400 but they don’t get into good schools b/c they don’t show their other side… besides their mugging capabilities :p</p>
<p>
cos the system is freaking different -___- do you go to an american high school?</p>
<p>no i didn’t. i graduated with the ib diploma. anyway i won’t be sending my sec 3 and 4 transcripts, maybe my IB1 and IB2 transcripts only</p>
<p>rhetorical question ftw</p>
<p>Personally I find that SAT scores are often not a good indicator of a quality application when it comes to Singaporean students…</p>
<p>Sec 3 and 4 scores are not needed in the sense that the colleges won’t care enough to ask for them if you don’t include them. I included them but who knows how much difference they made? My guess is very little.</p>

<p>in other news, happy mid autumn festival! :D</p>
<p>Hi guys, just 1 question about the significance of prelims vs predicted grades?
im dead worried now 
thanks</p>
<p>yo guys just to confirm, is submitting only ip sec4 transcript and a levels the norm?
Cause my school wants the ex-students applying to submit all results (sec4, j1,prelims and alevels), to be uploaded by the school, is there a way out hmm?</p>
<p>chengkiat: that’s between you and your school. Just Os or sec 4 and As/prelims + predicted is indeed the norm.</p>
<p>how are h3 grades looked at? i failed my h3 prelims ): ): how bad is this going to be i’m super worried now.</p>
<p>hi everyone, got something regarding yale to ask here</p>
<p>from yale’s website, it says that
</p>
<p>but my question is, how do we do that on common apps? anyone has any idea?</p>
<p>I guess you can just send them a certified true copy of your A-level certificate or results slip.</p>
<p>Poly graduate here. I was wondering whether any of the ivy league or top tier uni’s accept a diploma with merit? </p>
<p>I’m planning to take at least 2 subject SATs, but I’m not sure if it’s enough? I’m from SP, and I only know one guy who’s going to harvard.</p>
<p>Do I include those certificates from NSW Competitions and Australian Chemistry Quizzes under awards? Are they even important? Also, do I just show those with distinction and high distinction, or should I include merit and lower too?</p>
<p>Oh and my school said they require our results from Sec 4, J1 Promos, Higher Chinese and PW. Is there any way to get out of submitting some of these because I didn’t do very well in them as compared to others?</p>
<p>Those are not very important so if you have something more important to fill up the space, don’t put the NSW competitions down.</p>

<p>That sounds like RJ. It that case, probably not, since if i’m not wrong they still use the centralised naviance system to send the results as a whole batch thus you have no control over your own envelopes and stuff.</p>
