[quote=\"bandmate\"]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.

Thanks for sharing with us your posting result! Lol, that seems like admission to RI is awfully hard without HMT..are you fine with NJC or are you going to appeal?[/quote]

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

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.

Thanks a lot for your info!!! I'm more relieved now, and more targeted towards RI haha. Hope that i can be Bryan's junior next year..

I sat for the O levels last year and received my results on Monday. I have a raw score of 7 points and a net score of 3 (-2 for CCA, and -2 for MSP) I got the following grades for the respective individual subjects:


English: A2 Hindi (MT): A2 Math: A2 A. Math: A1 Chemistry:A1 Biology: A1 Physics:A1
SS/Geog: A1 MSP: B3 CCA: A2

It’s pretty obvious that I messed up a good number of papers, but I figured that since I met RJC’s COP (albeit partial), that there’s no harm applying. So I put it as my first choice during the JAE. I just wanted some opinions from other more knowledgeable people on the odds of me getting posted to RJC. Here are some more details about myself:

» I am a PR.
» I don’t have HMT since I take a non-Tamil Indian Language.

Also, I would like to know how to go about appealing to RJC. They have’t uploaded much information on the admissions page. Are there two types of appeal, e.g. Academic and CCA? What are some things which I will have to fill up in the form? Do they want a personal statement? How can I make myself a stronger candidate for appeal? Thank you in advance to anyone replying to this thread for your honest opinion.
