Average v Consistency
mseleanor:
Okay so I'm considering applying for Philosophy as an Extension Subject for next year.
It requires grades of 'A-A+' in essay writing subjects, but I'm not sure if this means an average, of for us to have consistently scored those marks. In both Literature and English I have an overall A-A+ average in each, but I have received a B and a B+ in Literature out of about 7 assessments so far, and I'm wondering if this will jeopardise my chances of getting in.
paulsterio:
Just pointing it out, but you can't really get an A - A+ average unless you consistently get A - A+ in your assessments, or unless somehow your variance is just really really high, but either way, it depends on how strict they are, you never know.
mseleanor:
Well I meant the general 'A-A+ average' because I was referring to both subjects, in Literature I have an A average, balanced by the A+s and the Bs.
I suppose it is how strict they are this year, as well as the standard of the other applicants.

Apparently, that's what I used to concern as well. However, the good new is, you only need to get the AVERAGE A/A in prerequisite subjects and AVERAGE B in others. I got these information on the Live Chat info of UMEP. Hope this help :)!

Haha, yep, thanks! I actually posted this a year ago - I ended up getting accepted, but turned it down to do MUEP extension instead. :)
