university...

today i felt like blogging. but i didnt have any topic in mind. >.< usually i'd have things on my mind to blog about...thought about over a few days, or at least a few hours. haha so i guess i shall just crap about (i cant believe this. im blogging for the spirit of 'feel like blogging') zzz

anyway - i've recently been upset about the local universities' recognition of THE programme. It's rather ridiculous how 3As and 1B can enter NUS med sch, and 41 pts cant. and then they dont even let any1 below the score of 41 go for a law interview.

NTU seems to be rejecting us quite alot as well. with 37 pts myself i cant even get a social science course at NTU. the best part about NTU is that they can send a rejection email to my hotmail, and 3 days later to my gmail, a 1 week later finally to my mailbox. they trying to rub it in?

lol. i really wonder how they pitch our scores with the A level side. to me its ridiculous since...an A is 70 marks...and 7pts is 85 marks. fortunately, SMU seems quite receptive of THE programme. and overseas universities as well. kudos to those who got rejected by local unis, only to be well received at the top universities of the world =D

then again, i could be biased. and i think i deserve not being able to get any course of my choice, since i didnt study hard enough. but i think it's such a pity, since so much was promised to us when the programme was presented to us. and now this. much more should have been and should from now on be done, to help local universities received THE programme better.

A reminder: there numerous 4As (probably in the hundreds) in SG, and there were only 20-21 45 pts in the world. 42 pts are rare as well. it just so happens that OUR sch did rather well, so it appears to be easy to achieve that kind of score. but it is not. the higher ups and decision makers should be well aware of the advantages of THE programme, and the fact that the road towards the result wasnt an easy one. CONSIDERING the FACT that the programme was recommended to the school by those higher up, they should be more understanding of THE students.

I will be trying to come up with a report to send to the relevant authorities. but i think it'll be hard with the limited time i have. A disclaimer that i should include would be that - the above information and discussion are all speculative - but i feel that some injustice has been served, and i wish to clarify them as soon as possible for the sake of THE future generations to come.



HEY HAHA i just blogged about what i have been thinking about. to think that i didnt have any thoughts in my head!
