rejected… is there hope?
hi guys, as the title suggests. i received the rejection email for FT on 14th may, and i haven’t done anything for my appeal yet cause it has a 500 word cap. i didn’t receive any interviews prior to this rejection as well. i haven’t seen anyone put up a post like this before where there’s no interview so i cannot seek advice anywhere 🥹
for some context, i’m an international applicant and i applied with my poly grades (i took business studies). my gpa is not the highest but i made up for it with very strong achievements nationally. i was really hoping suss would not reject me outright (in comparison to smu 😔) i also applied for scholarship with this and now my worry is that they rejected me because of it as well? 🥲
i applied to suss programmes in this order: supply chain management, business analytics, marketing, human resource management.
i understand the appeal process takes 21 working days so that’s about a month time. i also learned that if suss rejected me, smu will do the same to me somemore 😭
so…
- i saw there will still be three stages if i am successful. what are the chances like if i appeal? i saw success stories a lot on reddit, but i’m unsure
what should i do to maximise my chances of scoring a slot?
- if i do get in, what will they do with my scholarship application? is it a definite that they already deem me not eligible?
anything helps. trying to see hope and be optimistic about it 🙏
