I believe the choice is only taken into account for people with L1R5 which is the same as the COP. Other than taking into account grades and all that, I think the person who has 6 points and put TJC as first choice has a higher chance than a person who also has 6 points but put TJC as fourth choice or something.

dun think so if u look at the JAE booklet pg 3 para 6

[quote=\"xpeanutbutterx\"]Hi, can someone provide me with some advice?>< I got 9points raw and 5 points nett, I am undecided between tjc and njc:( I am not considering distance cus distance is not exactly a problem. I am interested to know more abt the culture and environment of each sch to make up my mind>< hmm I am currently more interested in tjc as I went to the openhouse and really liked the sch. I didn't go for the nj one so I'm not sure abt the culture and stuff:( I would really appreciate if someone can tell me more abt both schs! Thanks!!(:

Put njc as first choice (so you will get a higher chance at appealing), if you don't get into nj (cause the cut off is partial five), you will still get into tjc anyways.

But the thing is, I dun even know if I shld put nj cus I dun really have a good impression of it and didn't go for the openhouse, so I wanna know abt both's sch's culture to decide if I will put which sch (:[/quote]Then just put TJ cause the possiblity of getting in is higher

[quote=\"beezlebubz\"]schools have different cultures meh?? o-o

Of course they do. Obviously, all JCs will make students work hard but beyond that there definitely is a variation in school culture. Try interacting with people across the various JCs and see for yourself.

Btw, Class of 2010 Hwa Chong alumnus here who is happy to take questions on HC (or more generally, A levels, Uni etc)

So should I go to njc or sajc??? Is the travelling time Worth it, or is it better to stay with my current friends???[/quote]It's up to you really, you can always make new friends anywhere

hello~

i’m in a major dilemma as to whether i should choose mjc or tjc…
My raw L1R5 is 10, Nett is 6.
MJC seems more fun and exciting than TJC judging from their open house.
But many people are telling me to choose TJC mainly because of their reputation.

What should I do?

And errr.... Another's thing I'm concerned about is the teachers there. Are yet dedicated and will they provide help to the weaker students???( because I'm a slow learner.)

Hmm tjc is obviously a much better sch since it is a top5 jc. I went to both their open houses and I feel that the degree of fun and excitement looks around the same, so why not go to a better sch that allows u to have as much fun(: and cus 6 points is exactly on the dot of tj's cop, so u might not get in too, but u can try putting it first choice and if u dun get in, u'll at least go into mj(:

hi all, i got 12 points raw and can only minus 2 so i got a net score of 10.

i’m very keen in going to catholic jc as that’s the only school i can go to apart from anderson arts stream (but when i went to the open house for both schools, i felt that AJC is very focused on science and i have not that much interest for science)
however, do you think i’d be able to get in cjc if i put my first choice as catholic arts stream and second choice as catholic science stream, then my third choice is anderson arts?
my school also has no affiliation to cjc so i was wondering if i’d be at a disadvantage compared to those who are in affiliated schools such as SJI and CHIJ as they can get 2 bonus points and usually opt for cjc.
i am very worried as i only meet the borderline cut off point…

Hey guys,


I'm quite currently in quite a dilemma over where exactly to head to for JC. I'm currently considering RJ, HC, VJ and NJ.

Results, 2012 GCE 'O' Levels:
English - A1
A Maths - A2
E Maths - A1
Biology, Chemistry, Physics - A1
History World Affairs (2138) - A1
Combined Humanities, Geography - A1

L1R5 Raw: 6; Net: 4 without A1 CCA grade but not HMTL.

I went for the open houses for all the 4 JCs and personally prefer the VJ atmosphere over the rest, especially with their steadily improving results at the A Levels. However, I live in the West, in Bukit Batok, which is really far from VJ (~1hr 15min travel time). If geographical distance wasn't a factor, I'll definitely place VJ as my first choice. Would the travel time make a major difference in JC?

I'm personally a bit biased against NJ, since a few seniors from my school aren't exactly too happy about the overall environment at NJ. Yet, I guess it's the most reasonable choice considering the distance and my net L1R5. Is it true that at NJ, the academic results are often over-emphasised?

I'm considering appealing to HC or RJ, but I'm afraid that if the appeal isn't successful, and let's say VJ as my second choice doesn't accept me, I'll be posted to another school. What are the chances of a successful appeal and what are the items needed for appeal, like testimonials and stuff?

Wow 1h+ to VJ... I think the disparity between VJ and NJ is not so large until that travel time is worth it. Say, if you were talking about NJ vs YJC, then the travel time would be worth it..
