OFFICIAL 2014 O Level Posting & Appeal
-
@liaumel
nothing wrong with TJ or VJ even though they have the IP
did u go the open house?
the IP intake makes up like 1/3 of the population only
so still largely from O levels who went through the same thing as u
pure intake (from p6) haben reach ur this batch yet so no worries abt losing out or they have a good headstart

Hi, I need help deciding which JC too, can someone help? Thanks :)
I got Raw 10 points, so after minusing it would be 8 nett.
English - A1
Combined humans - B3
EMath - A1
AMath - A1
Physics - B3
Chem - A2
Bio - B3
MEP (music elective program which is like another humans) - B3
Chinese - A2
I live at Redhill so the nearest JC to me is ACJC but with my grades its difficult to get in since ACJC COP is 6. My question is do you think i should put ACJC as first choice and hope that I maybe I might get in since I take MEP or should I put AJC or CJC for a safer bet.
I also can't decide between SAJC, AJC and CJC. CJC is nearest to my house but I heard from friends and seniors that its not a very good (academic wise) school compared to AJC which is further from my house.
Then I'm also thinking of doing business at SP too? Because I'm not sure if it is wise to get into a average JC where I cannot excel and then flung my A levels and end up with nothing. :(
If I can get into ACJC all my problems would be solved. Do you think my chances of appeal is high? Considering I can appeal with Band or MEP? But I dont know if they will accept me since I only got a B3 for MEP. HELP!
Thank you :)
-
u wanna continue MEP?
or just want to use it to go ACJC?
SAJC is probably more feasible if distance really matter a lotwhether u flung ur As or not also largely depends on how hard u work
dont just blame the school

if ur points are slightly more than the COP, u are not the bottom

I live in Bedok :) I'm kinda apprehensive towards going to IP scools like TJ. I'm leaning towards MJC, but my friends have been saying that I should try a better school for my first choice. Would really help! :)
I also lived in Bedok, graduated from VJC. Our school have the IP program also, but the focus of VJ IP is more on exposure / breadth (such as overseas exchanges as well as group projects coupled with industry exposure). Hence, IP students do not have any significant advantage over O level students in term of academic competency as our tutors do not teach the IP students excessive A level content matter.
For TJ, the IP focus is slightly different, but I have classmates who have less than stellar O level results getting into TJ and obtained good A level results. What's good meant is normative and these are just some anedoctal evidences also.
In general, both TJ and MJ are quite similar in school culture but MJ is slightly more inclined to academics. But since you stay in Bedok, TJ will be a good choice based on distance

Hi guys. I received my o level results yesterday and I got L1R4=17. I have been interested in becoming a neurosurgeon for a very long time but I am unsure of the steps I need to take in order to do so. Could someone please guide me? I will have no financial difficulties and I don't even mind traveling. Thank you.

Hi guys, my l1r4 is 15 while my l1r2b2 is 19 for all. I know its mediocre but i am interested to sign up for MI as i know the normal JCs are totally not an option for me. I scored a B3 for english but i know it can be better as i have gotten distinctions for the past few exams, while my combined science is not that strong. I still do well for the other subjects though. Do you think i should go ahead with MI or just join a poly? Because i was aiming for aerospace engineering and i did not meet the cut off point. No other courses are of interest to me as well. Also, i heard that you need to take chinese in MI? Is that true? because my chinese is of the standard of a primary school student
My ultimate goal is also to enter university... Heard that the chances of getting in there from MI is not that high but also higher than poly.. I dont really like studying too -

Pls help mee��

Hi everyone. I've been browsing this forum for quite some time without registering and now I need advice.
My results are
English A2
EM A1
AM A1
Chem A2
Physics A1
Bio A1
HCL A2
Combined Humanities (SS, Hist) A2
CCA A1
I live in Woodlands and the closest tertiary schools are Innova JC and RP. Any suggestions for which school to go? No need to be those 2 but preferably not too far. I'm most likely taking a science stream. I missed the school briefing, so I'd also like to ask if the JAE is only for choosing JC and Poly courses? Choosing JC subject combination is after you get admitted to JC?

Without english, it will be 11 points. Right now, i am not sure whether i have a chance to go to CJC ( I am affilated there) or even TPJC. With my results, should i appeal? I have never scored C for english before...my english is always B4. Do you think there will be a possibility of me getting into those schools if i appeal? I really do not want to go to a poly. Are we suppose to appeal after posting or while we are choosing our schools? Should i put TPJC as my first choice or CJC? and when we are keying our choices of schools, do you know whether they will look at our subject grade?
I am so sorry for asking so many questions but thanks and please help!
CJC cop is 10pts. TPJC is 13 pts. Which JC you go to does not really matter.
It all depends on what you intend to do in Uni in the end.
If you intend to read Medicine or Law, then you need to work really hard in JC cos the cop is AAA/A (3H1/1H2). You need to be realistic
and ask yourself if you can achieve this score at A levels.Looking at most of the other popular courses like Biz or Accountancy in the local Unis (NUS, NTU or SMU), the cop is AAA/B, AAA/C or AAB/B types. If you think you can achieve such scores, then go the JC route.
Why don't you want to go to Poly?

Hello I just finished A lvl.
Your scores are pretty good (4 nett I believed).
I personally advice you to choose the top 7 JCs instead, since you are eligible for them. While much has been said about all schools are good schools, the fact is that the people in the schools are really different. The top few JCs will mould you better (trust me as I havefriends from all JCs), and you are given more opportunities as well.
Of cos that being said, distance is really an important factor for A lvl syllabus. (Don underestimate the importance of travelling time). As long as it is within an hour of travelling time, you should be fine. If the travelling time from your house to the school exceeds 90mins, I highly advice you to think twice.. Google maps should help you find the travelling time.
And yes, subject combinations are chosen after you start school. JAE is only for choosing the JCs (not sure abt poly stuff). Of cos try to know what subject combinations you want first before choosing the school, as not all schools offer you the combinations you want.

Actually, what I'm more concerned about TJ, is that I'm aiming to join SC and getting a high position in CCA. So, I feel that it might be quite difficult with IP people around as they might have more connections (?), or so to speak.

Hello I just finished A lvl.
You definitely have 0 chances of getting into ACJC via JAE as you do not meet the cut off point. The lowest percentile of ppl who managed to get into ACJC via JAE just meet the cut-off-point.
That being said, appealing into the school works even if you did not meet the cut-off-point. However, the appeal will only work if you are appealing via CCAs (For MEP im not sure), so do not appeal via academic performances. I personally know of friends who scored 15 or 10+ L1R5 and managed to appeal into CCAs in ACJC such as Canoe/Water polo. If you decides to take Band in ACJC, then you can consider appealing via band, but you cannot quit it afterwards. In ACJC, Band is one of the hell CCAs, where they have alot alot (and I mean really alot) of practises, so you need to dedicate alot of time to it. It is also one of the niche CCAs there, and it has quite a good reputation through the years.
One thing for sure is that I feel you should not waste your 1st choice on ACJC via JAE, because the truth is you really have 0 chances of getting in.
SAJC has lots of pretty girls (at least for my batch all the pretty girls seem to be concentrated there lol). Alot of party-goers and church-goers, but that also depends on who you hang out with really. AJC wise the people are quite academic-inclined. From my friends who studied there, they said it sucks (no offense but just opinions yea).
Rmb if there is only one slot left in the school via JAE and there are 2 singaporeans with the same raw and nett, they will take in the one who choose the school as the 1st choice rather than the one who placed it at 2nd choice. For those schools whose COP are below 10, you can be assured that the last slot available are still given to those who just met the COP, and alot of ppl who just met the COP did not get in too simply because the demands are higher than the slots available.
For ACJC, they will only administer about 800 students via JAE, out of about 2k applications.

Hi. Thank you for your reply.
The cut-off points for last year's intake was
3 for Hwa Chong and Raffles Instituition;
5 for National JC and Victoria JC;
6 for Anglo-Chinese JC;
7 for Nanyang JC and Temasek JC; and
8 for Anderson JC.Since I live in Woodlands, most of those top JCs are quite a distance away. And from what you heard, AJC sucked (I don't know in terms of what though). I'm not sure how reliable is the estimated travel time as well. http://www.transitlink.com.sg/eservice/eguide/rail_info.php.
Based on the MRT map alone, all the better/top schools are quite far :(
I don't exactly trust that "All schools are goods schools" either, even though it is true that all the schools will end up leading you to A-levels (excluding Polytechnics and IB schools).

Hello, I need some serious help in deciding where I should go with the scores I got.
My scores are as follows,Eng B4E math B3A math B3Chemistry B3Physics B3Combined Humans B3Mother tongue A2My L1R5 is 18Nett: 16The only JCs (science stream) I can make it to is Yishun JC or Innova JC, but the closestJC to my house is pioneer JC(sci stream:14).I really want to go to either PJC or JJC, but my points are a little off then their cut off points, so if I were to appeal will it work? And I was wondering if someone could tell me how YJC and IJC are like?Lastly with my results, should I go to a JC or a poly? I am willing to work hard for A levels if I go to a JC... But I'm unsure of whether with such scores I should opt for JC... Someone please let me know.Thanks in advance.
