How WSU scores you

Every university does this differently.

Partly checked

WSU APS

WSU reserves two subject slots for your best two languages, and four more for the subjects your programme requires (then your best of the rest) - each scored on an 8-point scale (90-100% = 8 down to 0-29% = 1), excluding Life Orientation. Education programmes also count Life Orientation as a 7th subject, out of 56 instead of 48.

This score means nothing at another university – it can’t be compared with any other university’s.

What we couldn’t confirm
  • We use your best two languages for Category 1. The brochure does not say whether it means your two best or one specific pair (for example English plus your home language), so this is our reading of “languages”.

What we couldn’t verify at WSU

We publish our gaps instead of hiding them.

partially verified

8 programmes including MBChB, Nursing, LLB, BEd, Accounting, Commerce, Social Work, Pest Management

Full APS formula (including the Education-programme exception that counts Life Orientation as a 7th subject) and 8 programmes captured from WSU’s own 2027 admissions brochure. Gap: the 2-category (2 language slots + 4 required-subject slots) selection logic is confirmed but not yet built into the calculator, so WSU_APS is registered non-computable for now - each programme shows its published APS as reference only. The 2027 closing date was not found in the 54-page brochure read.

partially verified

BEd Foundation Phase raw-confirmed by a second document; new BSc streams identified by name but not yet added (no admission table found)

The user supplied 5 more WSU documents (per-faculty prospectuses for Education, Law/Humanities & Social Sciences, Management & Public Administration, Natural Sciences, and a Mthatha-campus Health Sciences prospectus) - all dated 2024, three years older than the 2027 admissions brochure wsu-pass-1 was built from, so treated as a weaker confirmation tier, not a replacement. BEd Foundation Phase Teaching's figures matched the 2027 brochure exactly in the Education prospectus - RAW-CONFIRMED and upgraded from partially-verified to verified. The Natural Sciences prospectus names several BSc streams WSU does not yet have captured (Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Biological Sciences, Environmental Studies, Applied Statistical Sciences - each with an obvious existing career_id fit: mathematician, physicist, chemist, software-engineer, biologist, environmental-scientist, data-scientist respectively) but the document itself is a programme-overview prospectus, not an admission-requirements table - no NSC subject levels or APS numbers were found for any of them, so none were added rather than guessed. The WSU 2027 admissions brochure (wsu-pass-1's own source) is the next place to look for these same qualification codes' actual admission figures. The Law/Humanities & Social Sciences and Management & Public Administration prospectuses were skimmed but not deeply mined - also starting points for a future pass. The Mthatha Health Sciences prospectus was not read at all this pass.
