You’re joking right? Have you seen the indicative grade profile for business at
NUS? The 10th percentile entering has AAA/C for A levels. Even if you got in using AAAA you’d just be an average graduate in
NUS business, and the overwhelming vast majority (99.9%) on this ‘top’ course won’t even come close to smelling an IB interview. Not sure if you’ve searched on LinkedIn recently, but you can literally count on one hand the number of new Analysts entering investment banking across Singapore from a local university (if any at all in the 2017 cycle)
Sorry to burst your bubble, but straight A’s for a levels is hardly excellent results but indicative of a average grade profile in
NUS business. Commendable absolutely, but hardly exemplary. If you were truly the cream of the crop you’d be with
PSC on a plane to the UK/US right now, not wondering which course to study in our ‘local ivies’. Sorry to be harsh, but a level grads with straight A’s nowadays are a dime a dozen in the top few courses in the local universities.
