Questions regarding application to SYFC

Melvinlee 92 SG

I'm 16 years old this year and I'm planning on joining the SYFC next year. I have a question which i hope that someone who have the experience in SYFC can help to answer my question. My eyesight is 325 degrees now and the criteria states that must be under 300 degrees... I tried calling and they say that it all depends so i wanna ask if this will be a very big disadvantage for me if i apply for SYFC?

Hey rainbow 25, thanks a lot for that advice:D You have any experience in that stage of entering the SYFC or have any friends who have similar experience? When my eyesight is so bad, they say that i would have to score very well in order to get in but my results also not very good. The only good thing i have is my CCA record.

Lol.... Not a prob, if ur prelim L1R5<20 gonna join JC and hd all SYFC requirement than don't wait... apply. Well, if ur L1R5 >20 & want 2 go Poly. Apply once ur 'O' level results is out.

Hv u call them yet? They had increased to 400 deg, leh... my frz had applied. They check almost everthing b4 they put u on course. must b pos.

I'm not sure if you about this thing called the Direct Poly Admission (DPA) because i applied for this and I am already offered a place in Ngee Ann Poly. My L1R5 for my prelims is 15, i am good in maths but then science im just getting a passing grade and i am just hoping that i can better for O level. I called them the other day then they say try to maintain my eyesight at 325 degrees and keep it below 350 degrees. i also ask them "Now that my eyesight is so bad, is it that have to get excellent grades to get in" and he gave me a yes but he ask me to try. when he said the yes His tone to me sound a little negative... i was a little disheartened after that talk with him... i scared i next year cannot get in because it seems extremely tough to get in... Are you also a SYFC member?
