* Nanyang JC (NYJC)

[stetan]

mindays:

As a matter of fact, NJC is also situated close to Tan Kah Kee station, though HCI is closer to the same station. The distance from NJC and NYJC to a train station can be said to be relatively similar (within 10 minutes of walking distance, to be prudent. and if you want to argue about the minute difference, I wouldn't say an extra 2-3 minutes will make much of a difference). Yet we can see that NJC's COP is the same as NYJC for year 2017, 6 for science and 7 for arts. This means that convenience may not be the only factor that attracts students.
.

You are not making logical comparison. NJC have HCI directly opposite to compete for top students. This year, it has also EJC within a stone throw at Mt Sinai . NJYC has no top competitor JC nearby. However, things may change when EJC moves back to Sin.Ming end next year

mindays:

As much as I would like to provide concrete evidence, I don't intend to bluff or mislead others, but rather be equitable and just to NYJC when people with no vested interest (or has negative interest) start to fire with allegations. Here is one link to show the winners of the 2016 Chemistry Olympiad, in which many JCs had taken part in. Here's the results:
.

I fail to see how the individual performance at Olympiads can be extrapolated to the performance of the entire cohort. The \"A\" Level result will be a good indicator of cohot performance but sadly detailed information is lacking from NYJC

mindays:

That much said, I am not initiating any conflicts, but iron out FACTS regarding colleges. I hope the issues can be treated amicably in the future.

Err...what facts were \"IRON\" out ? :scratchhead:

NYJC has RI nearby, just to clarify. FACTS are statistics that are can be substantiated with evidence. I am sure you can make a good inference based on such competition results. I mean, it is fine if you choose not to.

Huh, does NYJC has RI just opposite it ? I cannot make a good inference if you fundamental premises are already flawed

Friend,
Can you just accept NYJC latest Cut Off Point and thats it.
People chose NYJC for many reasons academic and non academic (most importantly they have Confidence in NYJC) but does it matter to you? Why you worry for them.
If you are not genuinely keen in NYJC, its obvious you are not, then you know where to go and go to your ' Liked' JC forum.
Thanks.

Aiyo this is indeed a kaisu parents forumn ! If really so kiasi dont choose the school.


My boy who qualified for a better JC has chosen NYJC. After visiting few JCs open house , he told me he made up his mind to choose NYJC. He said he liked the school environment, distance and the school hours attracted him. I said fine and good luck to him.

He was delighted when he was posted to NYJC. The first day of school back, he told me many of his classmates were all 3 to 5 pointers. They are qualified for a better JCs but all chosen NYJC because of the distance and school hours.

So please parents don’t be too bother about the school standard. Most important our kids must like the school environment and distance also play apart.
If have doubts on the dont choose the JC.

All the best to NYJC kids !

I dunno what's happening here.
I hv seen students from popular JCs doin poorly and those from less popular JCs acing the A lvls. To me, whichever JC or A lvl ctr does not matter. The right attitude, diligence and humility to learn are more important for success.
But agree with you and Congratulations from me too!

Friend,

What don't you ask mindays who started all this JC competitive comparison to stop? :evil. Apparently you did not, that just show how objective you are

I definitely accept whatever COP NYJC has but its the baselees comparison and putting down of other JCs that we do not see eye to eye with, ok ?

I have a niece who DSA to NYJC. Her O levels results couldn’t have allowed her to make it. But we saw how NYJC value add to her over the 2 years. She did fairly decent for A Levels and is now in NTU doing business related subjects (her choice as she wanted to experience hostel life). Otherwise she could have made it to SMU.


I have a dd sitting for O levels this year. NYJC is near home however it don’t seem to be on her radar as she prefers another JC (further from home) as that’s where most of her school seniors end up in. At that age, they have a mind of their own of where they want to go which is fine so long as it is value adding.
