Hi can someone advice when do IP student promoting to year 5 has to buy new JC uniform. Next week or wait till JAE students joining? From RGS to RJC.

You only wear your RI uniform after the JAEs come in and you've had your orientation. But I say buy your uniform now when there's less of a queue.

There is a grace period (but can't remember how long, maybe a couple of weeks after JAE students join?) where students can wear their sec school uniforms, including RGS uniforms, because JAE students need time to get their JC uniforms. Last year, my daughter and her classmates all arranged to switch on the same day, including their JAE classmates. But get them now before the queue builds up, especially if you are of average size (which may run out).

Hi friends, I need some help. My daughter has scored L1R5: 3points (7-4) in O level. She wants to apply ACSI for IB or Victoria for A level. Some people advised us, if we have to go overseas for university, then asked us to choose IB. But we have no plan to send overseas for degree and we will choose local university only. If we choose IB from ACSI, Do we get the same chances as A level students? Thanks in advance.

Should not be an issue with IB for local Uni. Other than ACSI can also consider SJI.

Thanks emoh. Does it mean that the rest of JCs like VJ, NJ, NYJC etc will be slightly easier since a new JC opens up for more vacancies?

Difficult to predict though JAE intake is quite small

http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/education/get-your-tongue-around-eunoia-the-newest-jc

Eunoia JAE intake is 210 students. Only 3 were accepted via DSA. Number seems small. Perhaps not as popular. COP could be around ACJC COP ?

depends on what is the popular 1st choice JC going to be, top of their selection list.

Assuming that they can't meet RI/HCI COP at 3 points,
If many O level students put VJ, NJ as their 1st choice JC, and put EJC or NYJC as 2nd choice, then the demand for VJ, NJ is still going to be very high. Only those with better score, will enter VJ, NJ first

does anyone know roughly how many percent of the o level students get 6-7 points??
