A pass in General Paper is compulsory, as the grade for General Paper is considered a part of the overall evaluation of the applicant's suitability for admission. Those who do not excel in GP, but have very good results in other subjects or show special abilities and achievements, may be considered for admission.
Results in 'S' papers will also be taken into consideration.
Applicants with good results in the GCE A-Levels will be considered for Advanced Standing at SMU. Students with Advanced Standing may be granted exemptions of up to 5 courses. Advanced standing will only be considered when successful applicants have accepted the offers of places at SMU.
