Btw why u need to appeal ? If u r doing science course , i know that last year's acjc cop was 6 ( with bonus points ) , but for the previous 2 years , cop was 7 , maybe last year's one was an exception . Hopefully it goes back to 7 . But if u want to do arts , it remains at 7

I'm more interested in science actually. Yes, the cut off a few years back was 7. However, it was a partial 7. This means that only some people with 7 actually got in. If two people with the same score are vying for the last vacancy in a school, the next thing they look is your raw score, followed by citizenship and then random balloting by a computer. Its sometimes luck too.

Jonathan Lim:

Raw is 8 . With bonus points for CCA is 2 . We put NJC as first choice followed by acjc . Have to take a gamble , hopefully he gets into either school .

From what i know, NJC's science stream is a partial 5. However, the better schools usually leave some places for good students who do not take Higher Chinese. Your son should have a good chance in appealing. As for ACJC, his score is probably good enough to get into ACJC. I know a lot of seniors who have had a raw score of 10(with 4 Bonus Points so 6) who have gotten into ACJC through JAE.

Jonathan Lim:

@2911 : what's yr L1R5 score ? ( with and without bonus points )

It seems like your son is also considering between ACJC and NJC. What is his L1R5? Just curious...

For ACJC appeal, do i actually need to submit my prelim results together with my o level results? My prelim results were quite horrible and i dont think it’ll help in my appeal. The school website states that "Students need to apply personally to ACJC with photocopies of their exam results, CCA records, Form A (L1R5), JAE verification slip (choices of colleges), and a passport-size photograph."

Its definitely possible to take 4H2 in AJC. I did.

Although I'm not sure if 4H2 will be available for uncommon combinations.
Also, like most schools, AJC requires that you get a sufficiently low raw score before they allow you to take 4H2.

How low? Also, what is the average University Admission Score (UAS) for AJC? ACJC is 80.4 i think.

btw, anyone knows when the results of posting of JCs/Polys be released?

to 2911.

I doubt your chances of getting in are going to be high, but no harm trying.
I tried getting in ACJC with a 7, and their COP for that year and the year before was also 7.
However, I didn't get in.
But then again, I got into the school with the next lowest COP of 8, AJC. So I don't regret trying.

My second choice is actually AJC too. I was just hoping to get into ACJC because its nearer to my house. Just to ask, does AJC allow students to take 4 H2s?

i got my o level reults on the 10th of jan. My L1R5 after deduction of bonus points is 7. I am hoping to get into ACJC. However, the cut-off pt for the past few years have been 6. I am thinking of appealing if i do not get in through JAE. What are my chances of getting in? Also, does it help if i am from an afliated secondary school? (MGS-a lot of my seniors are in ACJC too). Thanks for the help:)
