JC or Poly?
-
Think you can try JC but must work harder for GP coz your English is not very strong.
If you want the Poly, don’t take a course like Chinese Studies unless you want to end up teaching Chinese next time. It is very limiting in career choices no matter what they say. -

I am finishing my O levels soon this week but I have no idea whether to go poly or JC. I want to study radiography and not sure which path I should go. If I go poly, I can study radiography in a private university but it’s very costly. If I go JC, then after A levels can get a diploma in radiography from NYP and then go overseas upgrade to a degree in 1 year. But it’s also expensive to study overseas but I guess it’s still cheaper than the one in Singapore.
I’ve always wanted to go poly but after knowing that the course for radiography in university is about $75k, I’m not sure if I should go JC or not. I know very well that my parents can’t afford so much… But I’m worried if I don’t score well for A levels, I’ll have nothing to fall back upon…
Can anyone give me some suggestions? -
Can you go to poly to do a diploma & get scholarship from the hospital for your degree?

I've checked. The scholarships hospitals like SGH are only for certain Diploma courses. And those diploma courses requires A levels. -
In my opinion, you should take A level then go to NYP as what you already know.

If your answer to this question is yes, you should go into JC. If not, Poly.
"How desperate do you want to go into a University?"
SRJC is not a bad choice also, from TPY maybe 20 mins? -
Very desperate

JC is a pre-university course while Poly prepares you for the workplace. Therefore, the choice is quite obvious.
Despite it being easier and easier for poly students to get into uni, you should know that the overall percentage is still very small as compared to jc students (well over 90%).
Do note that JC education isn’t going to be like secondary school. It will be much tougher and requires you to consistently revise AFTER finishing all your homework and class practices. Being desperate to go university is not enough, you need to be willing to put in the time and effort for the next 2 years while your friends are partying away in poly.
GCE A Levels is a worthless certification if you are not going for a degree, its WORST than a diploma. Therefore, if you think you would very likely not work hard and study for the next 2 years, I STRONGLY suggest you to enter poly instead. I’m not saying that poly is all fun and games, but its definitely easier to pass.
