NUSWhispers – Confession #3551
I just finished year 3 and have a CAP of 3.85. Like every grade-conscious student, I hope to get at least second-upper when I graduate. With just 2 semesters left, I don't know if this hope is still reasonable.
Is a second-upper that much advantageous over a second-lower? I know there is some difference in pay for civil servants but does this still matter for civil-service jobs after my first job? Do companies discriminate between a 2:1 and 2:2 in practice?
What percentage of NUS graduates actually obtain at least second-upper? I can't seem to locate this information. All my peers have >4.0 and I feel so inadequate and below average.
