2011 Grade Profiles For University Admission (NUS)

The following notification of grade profile and course places is to enable applicants to make informed choices
in their application for admission to NUS undergraduate courses.

• Representative grade profiles of the 10th and 90th percentiles of applicants offered places in AY
2010/2011 for applicants holding Singapore‐Cambridge GCE A‐Level qualifications. The grade profiles
refer to the grades scored by A‐level applicants in their three H2 and one H1 subjects. For the purpose of
this exercise, Grade “C” is assumed for both General Paper (GP) and Project Work (PW) in determining
the grade profiles. Please note that certain courses may require grades higher than “C” for GP. More
details can be found at NUS Admissions website. Please refer to Table 1.
• Representative polytechnic Grade Point Averages (GPAs) of the 10th and 90th percentiles of polytechnic
applicants offered places for courses at NUS in AY 2010/2011. Please note that in addition to the
Polytechnic GPA, the O‐Level results of polytechnic applicants are also taken into account for university
admissions. More details can be found at NUS admissions website. Please refer to Table 2.
• The number of course places taken up in AY 2010/2011. The number of places is subject to change from
year to year. More details can be found at NUS admissions website. Please refer to Table 3.
Applicants can expect competition to be keener for courses with more stringent grade requirements and fewer
places. In using the tables below, please note the following:
• The grade profiles, GPAs and course places may vary from year to year, depending on the number and
performance of applicants and the number of places available.
• Meeting the previous year’s grade/GPA scores of a course does NOT guarantee admission to that course
for AY 2011/2012.
• The courses marked with an asterisk (*) are those where additional assessments such as interviews,
selection tests, and portfolios are required.
• Certain courses may have specific subject requirements. More details can be found at NUS admissions
website.

These provide an indication of the grade profiles for most of the applicants admitted in AY 2010/2011.
There could be other “equivalent” profiles for each course. For example, a grade profile of ABC/C could be
considered to be broadly equivalent to BBB/C, unless there are pre‐requisites.
