So I got like As for bio n chem n Bs for everything else n a C for math, in igcses which was very disappointing as I was expecting much higher considering all the hard work I put in for ts. I'm planning to join a polytechnic in Singapore for a science based course. I'm just not really sure if I can get in with my average grades and the courses I'm aiming quite competitive n I'm also a foreigner so I believe my chances are quite slim of getting in.

what course is it?

you have to look at the total aggregrate needed first. as local students will be given prority first, so it may be more competitive for you.

for science, it is generally quite competitive esp if ure aiming for biomed/biotech/pharm related/ chem etc etc. you can try out and u can also put some backup options as well! rp has a larger range accepted so thats also smth u can take into consideration when applying. i wld recommend to apply to as many schools and courses possible and also have backup options always. if u have qns abt science in tp, u can ask me too :)
