I'm actually not a parent but a student. I was wondering what my chances are of entering hci with L1R5 7

Congratulations! If your L1R5 nett is 7, I think that it is tough to enter HCI because the COP is 4 for both science and arts. Do you mean L1R5 of 7 raw? In that case what is your nett L1R5?

my nett is 3 but I'm wondering if I'll be able to enter since there might be a chance that the COP for science drops back to three.

I am sorry to provide any comparisons, I have fears of doing so after seeing the reactions in the NYJC thread: https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=68179&start=370

All I can help is to make a rational decision and go with the facts. Good Luck!

My JC time in the past is certainly not as rigorous and intensive as it is right now. Be consistent in your studies and you will be good to go.

I have DD in both RJC and HCI.
Both JC are in tier 1 league. They are both good schools producing good results.
However, they are very different in term of:
1) so called western and cheena culture (used by Singaporean). Eg. school song.
2) school environment. You will feel the vast differences.
3) specialty in CCA and gaining scholarships.
4) the ways of celebration of CNY, etc.

My eldest DD was in SCGS, something like Pernakan culture, when she joined HCI. she was completely taken aback, but of course she adapt and is part of the great HCI family. Hope it help.
