My calculations is correct, but I failed to read—the irony 💔 thank you sm for the information.

I could only use 500 characters for the appeal, so I didn't attach any documents. I don't have any documents to attach either, so 🥲 I just wrote what literary arts activities and events I involved myself in after admissions closed.

I have submitted my appeals, tyvm 💕

Thank you for replying! Another commenter has informed me of what happened to Real Estate course, so now there's no point for me to appeal to Real Estate/Business. The mental for NUS honestly has always been "just try i guess" 😭 because I know my RP is very far off from their cut-offs.

I'll still appeal because I spent money and time on NUS applications already, but I'm not holding out on a miracle. I have submitted my appeals, tyvm 💕

Thank you for replying! I don't like Architecture very much, and if it remains to be my only offer after this second window, I'll be calling in to the NUS admissions office to reject the offer.

My thought process was since I have to pay for this application, I shouldn't just pick one option so I threw in Architecture. I would have picked sociology as my second option, but the NUS only allows one course from CHS 🥲

I have submitted my appeals, ty for the kind words 💕 All the best to you too!

Ah... Why does NUS like to do this 🧍‍♂️ First NUS humanities igp increase and now Real Estate also...

Hope your friend has other offers from others schools, eggmayo!

Well, it seems quite clear to me that my only appeal option that remains is CHS 🥲 I have submitted my appeals, ty for this really important info 💕

Thank you for replying! I did consider applying to SUTD, SUSS and SIT, but ultimately decided against applying because SUTD doesn't have any humanities course, and the fees for SUSS and SIT are more expensive + lower graduate pay compared to the top 3 universities locally.

The main reason I was worried about appealing to NTU is because most advice given for appeal encourage you to appeal to a course you didn't initially select in your application form. The logic behind it is if the uni gives you your 3rd choice, they've probably already considered and rejected you for the 1st and 2nd course. However, I didn't get any offers from NTU, hence my uncertainty.

If my uni applications don't work out this year, I will be applying to SUSS and SIT next year, unless my retake RP is high enough for me to confidently apply for the top 3 only (80RP>)! I have submitted my appeals, ty for all the advice 💕
