All About Polytechnics
-
Both have the same CCA, probably a similar profile. Both courses are similar, but not the same. If they met the criteria for one course, they should have met the criteria for the other course also.
In fact, my son was called for an interview for a course he has no experience in (like CCA and other external interests), but this course where he didn't get called for the aptitude test, his CCA is what they look for and his interests also align to this course.
No idea how this works, though if we had known in advance that the poly would only call for one course per student, we would have used up our slot for another poly (similar course) and not wasted one chance.
There's nothing we can do at this point, but perhaps other parents can take note of this. Though I must say it's not the same with all polys. My DD applied to another poly for two courses and has been called for an interview to both very different courses (those were her second and third choices btw)floppy\" post_id=\"1921337\" time=\"1563762985\" user_id=\"97579:
Different candidates.
Unless your son and his son have exactly the same results, same CCA, same profile - then it has been assessed that your son meets the profile of the candidate that they are looking for in course A while his friend meets for course B. -
DD will be going for her interview this week. It seems it will be a panel interview with about 4 interviewees at a time.
-
Wow, 4 interviewers? That's going to be intimidating. Which course is this? And how did you know the number of interviewers? Thanks.

Funz said 4 interviewees, means Sec 4 peers (students) being interviewed
(not 4 interviewers ) -
Thanks for the correction phtthp. My bad. Hope that they give each student enough time to present themselves.

4 interviewees lah. 4 short listed applicants being interviewed at the same time.
How many interviewers? No idea. Could be 2, 3, 4, even 6?
She applied to TP Vet Tech. Think it will be more competitive this year since NP discontinued their Vet Sc course. The intake is still quite small since resources are limited. -

COP at 7 and 9 respectively for L1R2B2. Given Vet Bioscience course has been discontinued, expect the COP for Vet Tech to go down to 7 or 8. -

Yah. Already competitive as it is, now with NP discontinuing the course it will be even tougher. DD was all set on NP and was quite frustrated when she found out they discontinued the course. TP is quite far from our home. So originally she was thinking of applying for EAE to NP or SP Biomed Sc but decided that she would rather travel further to a course that she is interested in than cut down on travelling time for a course she is not that interested in.

End of the day, we will still have to see what her O level results will be like. -
