* Victoria JC (VJC)

[FrekiWang]

4 is the usual COP of VJC, which implies VJC will take in partial 4 pointers. Itmight be 80% or 20% of the 4 pointers who apply, no one knows and it varies over different years.

Hi, I'm a student that has a raw score of 8 for O levels. My English is A1 along with 3 other subjects, the remaining is A2 except for HCL which is C5. I placed VJC as my first choice, and I applied for the science stream although my A1s were from my humanities subjects. What are my chances of getting in?

Thanks!

Most of my tutors are really caring and they teach well (though the bond between students and teachers is not as close as in secondary). They make a lot of effort to keep the class attention and to fully explain concepts (because my class is quite havoc class actually feel quite bad for the teachers when they struggle to keep the class's attention). VJ has a really wide range of CCAs too be it sports, performing arts or clubs that gives pretty much every student a chance to pursue their interest. The students are also pretty nice in general (I came from a supposedly \"elite\" secondary school and it's a pretty nice change to have friends from middle to low income families because it makes going out less expensive lol). The school spirit, which is one of the main things VJ is known for is also really strong :). You can come down to our open house on 8th Jan if you want to experience the VJ environment firsthand.

Well, I would say VJ, but that would sound biased. But seriously though, VJ is known for being super enthu in supporting the school teams and all.
