I go dig e list

if you're talking abt e thread, it was tat they say JC is e route to uni.. poly route must be like top 10%

e uni cut off point does speak a diff picture

Hmmm

I wun be surprised lor coz the thing is that our local Uni have lost a lot of good poly grads to other good Unis around the world

And the news all must be humililating to them

e other time I told you before abt 1 example

cos tat ger was a poly student, NUS did not want to accept her for medicine. but she ended up taking medicine in UK e following year

At e same time as she started taking medicine, they decided to accept some poly students

anyway even if they opened up e figures, it does not show a true picture. cos for poly students they still look at their O lvl grades, so if they did well in poly but did not for O levels, they might still be at a disadvantage unless they're in e top 10%

sbst275 SG

e uni cut off pt, you see e A level applicant side, all must be like almost straight A grade to get into most of e courses

JC is the best path for scholars .....

5 years ago, it was 40% poly, 10% ITE, 48% JC, 2% Pre-Uni intake

now is 60% poly, 7% ITE, 32% JC, 1% Pre-Uni intake

times have change.

Scholar Type does not mean succeed in life lor

My boss was just telling story about his brillient friend who excelled in school

But fail at work coz the intelligence is different ...and the application too

cassie SG

Have you removed the earring? Use antiseptic?

cassie SG

I look at myself and I know I probably use only 20% of my grad degree. Undergrad maybe another 10%. LOL!

fudgester SG

All I gotta say is, JC or poly, once you get into uni, all bets are off, and everyone is on the same even playing ground.

Doesn't matter which secondary school/JC/poly you're from.... once you're in uni, you're on the same level as everyone else.
