SMU graduate Dinesh Uruthiramoorthy, received his Bachelor of Accountancy degree with a GPA of 3.87 despite the fact that he had not done well in mathematics when he was studying business in Temasek Polytechnic prior to his SMU course. He said that it was challenging to prioritise the many tasks that were assigned to him as a student leader and a student ambassador, while also juggling inventory and money management for a drink stall, among other things.
