Regarding poly entry to local Uni

Actually as can be seen from the COP, entering Accountancy is not easy be it that your final choice is JC or poly. Both required excellent result. FYI, Accountancy is one of the most popular course in uni. So, you do have to work really hard.
Should you grade can’t enter accountancy in uni, there is still other options like SIM which would still lets you enter the field of accountancy. -

It might be easier if you go through JC route. In poly, entering SMU accountancy is not really that hard in my opinion, but you will require significantly more effort than in JC. Afterall, for poly to enter into uni, you have to be in ~top 15% in your course.

There is no pre-requisites for accountancy other than H1 maths or equivalent. The uni vacancies for poly students is much lesser than that for JC students. I do not have exact numbers but it is likely to be for every 8-10 JC students, 2-3 poly students or less. This is another reason why it is more difficult for poly students to enter the uni.
But comparing poly and JC education, poly is definitely better. This is why the poly is considered tertiary education while JC is not. -

I totally agree on the part on requiring significantly more efforts in poly than in JC. This efforts must be consistent throughout the three years in the poly or else cannot maintain the high GPA. In JC, it is just one A levels exam. -

Accountancy is a very popular course. If you want to go via the poly route, then you MUST aim for an average of A for ALL your modules in the 3 years course in poly. Otherwise you probably can forget about getting into ANY accounts/finance/business courses in local university. You must also take into account that there will be many group projects where certain group members would pull you down. JC on the other hand is more or less individual effort.
