I know a few TP grads who went onto the lower-tiered schools and as far as I know none of them made it to big4/baker/cc. The only way to get into a top firm is top grades and/or connections. Tale as old as time.
Must I go to UK Universities to get good grades?
I heard in Singapore NUS it is very hard to get second upper. Almost half the class will not get second upper. But in UK, it is close to 90 percent can get second upper and first class.
