I heard that in many of the top JCs, half of their cohorts are
scoring 4 H2 As, and about 20-30% of the cohort scored 90 rank
points. It's amazing how so many students nowadays are scoring
straight As.
My question is, given the sheer number of straight A students,
wouldn't competitive Uni Course (Law, Medicine etc.) take into
consideration a students non-academic achievements (CCA Leaders,
Student Leaders, CIP, Special Programmes etc.) even more so than
before ??
Exactly how important is a student's testimonial & portfolio to
get them into their desired courses?
If you don't have excellent testimonial & portfolio, is it
impossible to enter competitive courses no matter how well you
do??
PS. I'm from a relatively good JC, but I barely had any leadership
positions or opportunities - my portfolio is kinda crappy (nothing
special inside). I really wanna know whether my opportunities are
capped & limited because of my lack of non-academic
achievements.
Thank You
