Very often, to downplay the impact of our abysmal grades for Project Work on our university application, JCs cite the fact that universities would not penalise students who have done well in the A Levels but did not achieve a good grade for Project Work. However, the air has been cleared on the issue, and if you have been reading the Straits Times Forum over the past two weeks, there has been many issues and concerns raised about university admissions and how Project Work has an impact on it. I quote the NUS Dean of Admissions on this issue in a letter sent in to Straits Times on the 7 June 2007 that "Because of components such as General Paper and Project Work in the UAS, it is possible that a student with three As may not be admitted to a course of study while another with two As and a B may because of different performance levels in General Paper and Project Work." So now the air has been cleared about the issue, we all know how much harder we have to push ourselves to ensure that we do not penalise ourselves further in our aim to gain a spot in a reputable university in Singapore.
