              So, only NUS hasn’t released the results yet. NTU and SMU already released the results. Anyway, DS has gotten his first choice so we are no longer waiting.

                        Hi, I did not researched on the cut-off but I assume the word 'managed' is defined as you had made it to the cut-off mark.

                        Be wary that this does not guarantee you admission into NTU/NUS, 'managed to touch' is just the cut off point. For example, the cut-off point for medicine is 85, if the entire Singapore lets say average get 87.75, only 280 places in Med available, do you think you would even stand a chance?

                        There was one year, 2017, which a student miraculously got into Medicine by 85 rank points, that was a such rare occurrence that I would even call it a 'miracle' as others would had been scoring above 85.

                        For your case 80 is the cutoff. I wish you the best as not to burst your bubble, but you have to write a very convincing what I mean VERY convincing proposal. Lets say interview stage is given to all. You would have to get merely full marks. This would let you to become a 87.75 rank point student who has did badly for his interview stage.

                        I wish you the best of luck. May you strike miracle.
