I'm from a normal neighbour hood school and gotten L1R5 of 11
for my O levels, which is actually surprisingly well for me. I have
to emphasise that im not
'smart', i worked very hard for O levels. However,
i could not decide on which JC to go.
I'm considering: NYJC / SRJC/ TPJC / MJ, these are my
concerns.
NYJC:
I have buses which can
reach there just in about 30min. The school is
rather new, have good
facilities, and it offers Chinese Language Elective Programme
(CLEP), which attracts my attention because i'm
better in CL.
However, my concerns is that, i have been a very average student from neighbourhood
school. Hence, NYJC seems to be
TOO GOOD FOR
ME. Moreover, i heard from my friend from chung
cheng high main that many of her classmates may go NYJC. Thus, i'm
afraid that i wont stand any
chance there. Also, even though i had been doing
well for HCL n CL in secondary school, with FTs and SAP school student , i may not
continue to do well in CLEP. I am also unsure of their combinations
because they does not have a list of it.
SRJC
It's nearer to my house,
can reach in about 30mins. However, it doesn't seems like a 'good' school? It was ranked
14 among 19 JCs.
TPJC
45mins bus ride from my house. It has been a culture for student of my school to go
either TPJC or MJ. However, i heard that their
university rate is as low as
30%. Hence it doesn't seems good. It's ranked
15th.
MJ
It has been a tradition
for student in my school to go MJ/TPJ.
It offers a subject combination which i'm interested in. H2 econs, maths, cl lit
and H1 GSC.
About 1 hour trip and there
isn't direct bus, which make it very
inconvinient.
Heard that students are being pushed very hard there,
and there are many students
in JC1 being retained or kicked out as the school
needed to maintain their standard.
