multiplying the numbers of Distinctions/Credits/Passes, by the relevant weights and
adding up for the Distinctions, Credits and passes actually obtained by the candidate.
b) The A’Level weight, for a given programme, of a candidate is obtained by multiplying
each subject grade point by the relevant weighting factor and adding up for all the
subjects taken and passed.

c) The combined weight of a candidate for a given programme, is obtained by adding the
O’Level weight obtained (a) above to the A’Level weight obtained (b) above. The best
candidate for each programme is the one with the highest combined weight.

d) Candidates are selected on merit from those who apply for a programme as their first
choice plus those who apply for the programme as 2nd, 3rd, 4th choice etc., if they have
not been admitted to programmes of their earlier choices. All choices are considered.
