I'm going to be frank.

I got rejected from UMEP. Anything I could do besides sitting back and say "oh well"?

Did you apply for MUEP?

Otherwise, yeah, there isn't much more you can do.

I did try to apply. However my teacher won't sign the application because the application says "only if student shows exceptional skills in mathematics" to which he thought I didn't show in my exam.

Don't you find out in January?
Yes, you do.
I'm sorry but this is an early post because I'm certain I didn't get in. Even my head of maths says so.

Think it this way, if you weren't doing well at maths at the high school level, to throw on this (very heavy) extra burden on your year 12 can only serve to disadvantage you.

I went to head of maths to get my raw GMA results. It was after that I wanted him to sign the application. He read through it and came across the headmaster's recommendation part (with the exceptional results bit) and he said that the headmaster can't really sign it because of my exam score.
So yeah in the end I got 0 signatures.

I guess MM3/4 in year 11 isn't exceptional :)
so you havn't been rejected

Yeah I haven't but I wanted to ask early so I can take immediate action if there were any.

Well okay. I just wanted to do it because it looked fun, sounds fun, could work out nicely for me if I do engineering, and the 4.0 increment can possibly take place of my methods SS if need be.

Well then I'll test that "audentes fortuna juvat" tomorrow.
Thanks everyone.

Oh and I also heard UoM is very strict and hard. No amount of "getting down on your knees begging" will make them change their minds. Is that right?
