julialai , can you share your experience as ex-Rafflesian on getting the CCA's / RA subjects that you preferred. I got to know that students need to go for audition/test to join the CCAs . How hard is for the students to hope up when they dont get the CCA's /RA subjectsthey want to have . Will they be forced to pick any CCA/ RA due to this and affecting their career. for example RA english is given to a student who wishes to go for Medicine / Finance related.

By RA I assume you're referring to Raffles Academy subjects? There's a very stringent selection process for students wishing to take up RA subjects. If you have no interest in a subject, you don't need to sit for the RA selection test for that subject. Provided of course that you even qualified and were selected to sit for the selection test in the first place.

CCA selections take place in most schools and more often than not, it's the CCA that chooses you and not the other way around.

Students are resilient. They don't get too caught up in moping over CCA choices etc. Take it as a life lesson. You don't get everything you wish for in real life. There are people who are better at a CCA or subject.

Thnx Jtoh . Yes RA= Raffles Acadamy. so not having given ure choice RA subject or not even qualified for RA does it impact the DC university application. how does RA subject helps in for University application.[/quote]University admissions are based first and foremost (for Sg Unis anyway) on your A level or IB results. But for the hotly-contested faculties where every applicant is a straight A student, interviews and other facets of a student's portfolio come into play. So non-academic qualities like leadership abilities, a sense of social consciousness, sporting ability etc will be considered. I'm not sure how much an RA will help in university application, save for the fact that there aren't that many who get chosen to be in the programme per subject per year.
