* Raffles Institution (RI) - Year 5-6

[Quintessential Mum]

Just a word of advice, if you intend to go to the 1st tier JCs, make sure that you have a strong foundation at O levels and you are an independent learner as it will be extremely tough to survive if you have a shaky foundation. An A1 grade typically ranges from 75 to 100 so if you happen to fall between 75 to the 80 plus, please rethink your decision to study at the 1st tier JCs. All the best!

I have 4 points for my o level (6-2) as I did not take HMT.

Would I have any chance to enter RI through the JAE. Or would I have to appeal?

My results are:
English - A1
Math - A1
A Math - A1
Biology - A1
Physics - A1
Chemistry - A1
Combined Humanities - A1
Geography - A1
Chinese - A2

Does anyone have any experience appealing? What does it include?
Any help would be much appreciated.


P.S. Would you choose VJC or NJC?

so what is the posting outcome today ?

Hi Bryan! I would appreciate it if you can post your result of the school posting and your choices here lol, because I've the exact combination as yours except that I don't have pure geog as a subject. I'm taking O levels this year btw. Thanks a lot!

I put RI as my first choice, NJC as second and AJC as third. The rest were randomly filled. I got into NJC All the best for your O levels.

I appealed and was accepted into RI

OMG!!! Congrats!!! Feel happy for you (and me as well xD). But I’m curious about one thing lol, did you report a day later than orientation? Or did the appeal results come out before the orientation starts? If so, you didn’t report for NJC right? o.o hahaha

[bandmate]

And also, do you have any significant achievements in competitions or Olympiads? Lol, I’m very curious about my chances there haha

He has 8 A1s and a total of 9 distinctions and so does not need extra achievements. His is a sure in case as there is a quota set aside during appeals for students who did not take HCL.

That's good for students who do not take HCL or MSP/CSP.
