An enquiry to those who might know.
A KCSE 2016 candidate did not fill for their university selection, the school is not willing to fill for the them the university selection, how else can the application be done or it's just to wait for the revision period and apply? Might it be late and miss on the desired course since they will already have been filled by the early applicants.

I believe the window for applying is still open

Effort Grade Points (EGP)
To encourage broader learning and reward extra effort, all subjects
sat by a candidate should be considered while computing the Mean Grade(MG).
A proposed 'Effort Grade Points' (EGP) can help in improving the MG.
The current Aggregate Grade Points (AGP) should also be retained.
The Mean Grade would then be determined by the better or higher
between AGP and EGP.
Students who take only 7 subjects have EGP equal AGP.
EGP=7*candidate's average of all subjects sat.
The EGP is an 'every-subject-counts' mean grade tallying method.
If it were to be applied to 2016 KCSE results, both the best and worst
performers would marginally benefit, just like in a Bell-Curve.
Average and slightly below average students have the highest chances
of mean grade upgrade, depending on their 8th subject score or grade,
which is currently unconsidered in computing the mean grade.
This is not massaging the Mean Grade since the candidates
worked for and earned the 8th subject grades.
Selected examples (20 out of 137 yielding paths):
AGP plus 8th subject=$total points=EGP
80A- plus A = $92=80.5A
73B+ plus A- =$84=73.5A-
72B+ plus A = $84=73.5A-
66B plus B+ = $76 =66.5B+
64B plus A = $76 = 66.5B+
59B- plus B = $68 = 59.5B
56B- plus A = $68 = 59.5B
52C+ plus B- = $60 = 52.5B-
48C+ plus A = $60 =52.5B-
45C plus C+ = $52 =45.5C+
40C plus A = $52 = 45.5C+
38C- plus C = $44 = 38.5C
32C- plus A = $44 = 38.5C
31D+ plus C- = $36 =31.5C-
26D+ plus B+ = $36 =31.5C-
24D plus D+ = $28 = 24.5D+
21D plus C+ = $28 = 24.5D+
17D- plus D = $20 = 17.5D
15D- plus C- = $20 = 17.5D
10E plus D- = $12 = 10.5D-
AGP plus 8th_subject combination has 756 paths, 137 of them
can yield a Mean Grade upgrade.
Here below are mean grades and their respective number of
yielding permutations or possibilities or paths for upward upgrades.
A-(1/84), B+(3/84), B(6/84), B-(10/84), C+(15/84), C(21/84), C-(28/84),
D+(29/80), D(16/48),D-(7/34), E(1/6). Total yielding paths(137/756).
If this EGP in conjunction with current AGP were used on 2016 KCSE,
a fair number of students could be given a second lease of academic life,
getting more advancement opportunities.
KNEC should atleast 'dry run' this proposal, even if as an academic exercise.

The earlier sampled 45 students had Mean Grades 19A, 23A- and 3B+.
After computing their 'Effort Grade Points (EGP)', 4 students with mean grade A- had a mean grade upgrade from A- to straight A.
B-, A, A, A, A, A, A, A = 80A- //80.5A
B+, B+, A, A, A, A, A, A = 80A-//80.5A
B-, A, A, A, A, A, A, A = 80A-//80.5A
B, A-, A, A, A, A, A, A = 80A-//80.5A
These are the 'high value' mean grade A-, with their 8th_subject score higher than their current mean grade.
Any other high value mean grade, with a higher 8th_subject score, can benefit from this EGP tallying method.
------------------------------
In this proposal, the Mean Grade is determined by the following AGP or EGP brackets, whichever is better or higher.
above 80 to 84==A
above 73 to 80==A-
above 66 to 73==B+
above 59 to 66==B
above 52 to 59==B-
above 45 to 52==C+
above 38 to 45==C
above 31 to 38==C-
above 24 to 31==D+
above 17 to 24==D
above 10 to 17==D-
7 to 10=========E
