SMU
went for the smu admissions talk today. smu sounds pretty good, their education is supposedly modeled after the university of Pennsylvania's wharton sch, top american uni for biz.anyway, what i've been hearing about smu is getting quite scary. a friend's senior who has AAAB with good cca records didn't get into smu sch of biz! even though interestingly she did get into smu sch of law.
and according to the admissions officer, she said that the minimum requirement last year for majority of the faculties was AAB. plus, just last year there were 12k ppl applying for smu and they have only 1k+ places >_<. looks like its not so easy to get in after all!
oh, and if you don't meet the cutoff for A lvl grades, theres still SAT, which they will consider you if you score a high score of 2200-2400 (rather high indeed). maybe the admissions officer was a bit exaggerating, but well, you get the idea.
but there seems to be increasing incentives to get into smu. for one, last year's top 20% grads starting pay was average of $4.6k, and the really top ones are like $8k, $12k $_$
for all smu student wannabes like me, time to study hard! (if you haven't already been doing so lol)
