Since when did applying for a place for univeristy sound like applying for IPO for newly listed company with words such as "oversubscription"?
Overwhelming response to new School of Law which registers 15 times oversubscription with 1,251 applicants vying for 82 places
Singapore, 20 April 2007 – The Singapore Management University (SMU) has received a record number of 12,911 applications for admission to its six full-time degree programmes for Academic Year 2007/8 as of the closing deadline of 10 April 2007. This marks a 21% increase in applications from last year's figure of 10,680, making the university nine times oversubscribed with nine students vying for one of the 1,485 places offered. More than half (54%) of the applicants are ‘A' level students, followed by polytechnic students (27%) and international students (19%). Quality of students applying to SMU this year has also risen with more than one third (39%) of ‘A' level applicants scoring ABB or better in their results compared to 30% last year.
SMU choice of words is very powerful and professional and it is only in their culture and organisation that they are able to carry it off. Try asking NTU or NUS to do this and you certainty be reminded of NUS business advertisment of the "cute boy" part which left a bad taste at the end.
