Singaporean Students with Predicted Grades

<p>Hi all,
alright to be honest I just completed my prelim exams and I'm freaking out about the predicted grades and application. I've posted some stuff in other forums about transcripts too. The thing is, for Singapore's A level students, we use predicted grades from our prelims to apply since our actual A level results are only released in March the following year. </p>

<p>My question here is, if my predicted grades are so bad <em>fingers crossed, my papers are still being marked</em> that I get rejected from the colleges I apply to, and if I get back my actual results and they are much better, can I appeal to the college to review my application again, or do I have to take a gap year? (by then the application for fall 2014 would have closed)</p>

<p>And, is it true that Singapore's grading system is two grades higher than the American grading system? i.e. a C is actually and A when the transcript is evaluated</p>

<p>Please tell me what you think/know! (especially if you're Asian/Singaporean and have gotten your transcripts evaluated before!)</p>

<p>…Anybody?</p>
