* Temasek JC (TJC)

Just to update what I found in the JAE handbook concerning posting procedure:
6 Posting Procedure
6.1 Applicants are posted to a course based on merit first according to their net aggregate scores (taking into account the various bonus points for which the applicants are eligible for).
Applicant with better net aggregate [delete] will be considered for admission first, subject to the availability of vacancies in the selected course. If there is no more vacancy, then the applicant will be considered for his/her next choice course(s).
6.2 Applicants with the same net aggregate score vying for the last place in a course will be posted based on their citizenship followed by their gross aggregate score. The posting of candidates with the same gross aggregate score will be determined by a computerised ballot where each candidate is given an equal opportunity.
So, it looks like when 2 candidates have the same aggregate/net score, the bonus points don't count anymore. Rather, it is the citizenship followed by the gross score that matters.
In summary, gross score ends up being the final wild card that seals the result.
Twilight, I still hope that what you mentioned from inside sources is accurate, which will favour those who have put in extra effort in HML and CCA. Thanks. -
i got a 6 net (10 minus 4 bonus points).
I would like to go Temasek JC. (6points)
would i stand a high or low chance?
i know of a lot of 6 pointers though… -
Can anybody explain to me what is meant by "partial" ?
Much appreciated -

it means that the cut-off point equal to one's net score. so some of the students get in, some do not. it'll be safer if students get below the cut-off point because it will more or less guarantee the student a place in the school. -
You stand a chance, but not very big. Just try, why not?

I've achieved 7 points (nett) for my O levels. I am really really keen on going to TJC, however, I'm one point short from its science cut-off point. Anyone know of TJC's appeal system?

Hi I can give u my opinion and tips.
1. Put TJC as ur first choice. This will really show them how earnest you are in wanting to get into TJC.
2. Get LOTS of recommendation letters. CCA teacher, Form teacher, leadership teacher incharge (if u have any)
3. It will really help if you are in a sports CCA. if you are in a performing arts cca or a club, the chances of getting in is lower.
4. You could write a letter to TJC about how much you want to get in and why. Show your sincerity.
Source: I did my research as i wanted to appeal to VJC. gave up on that thought as im 2 points away. therefore i’m putting TJC as my first choice.
