<![CDATA[Important admission questions]]>Hi, I am completely obfuscated at why certain schools like VJC offers the appeal form before the posting results are released and before the JAE ends. What is the reason behind this? Is there an advantage given if one appeals early (knowing that he may not get into the school through JAE)?


Next, this is a silly question…the form A requires us to complete the worksheet before submitting online. Is there any relevance? Can I not complete it? I’m guessing that since there’a limited time for us to complete the form online so they want us to complete the worksheet first. Just to be extra safe. Is this right?

Finally, can a student appeal to different junior colleges at one go? Will this hamper his chances of appealing? If both appeals are accepted, the student has to reject one of the schools right? Thanks.

[quote=\"Quintessential Mum\"]I heard that some JCs have conducted appeal interviews already (last Friday and Saturday) and made offers. So you may be too late. Of course, it helps if you have connections and appeals will be a breeze. That said, being able to cope/keep up in the chosen JC once you are accepted is a more important issue to address. All the best!



Oh dear! I may be too late! Can I know which jc already made offer?

Can't say the name of the JCs. One is located in the west and the other in the East. Well known JCs.[/quote]is this factual or hearsay?

In previous years, appeal results for most schools can take up to one week after start of school to be disclosed, and there will be some movements of people into and out of the school, especially the first week.

You you are 1 or 2 points away (or tie with) from last year’s COP as you should know you won’t/may not be accepted under normal JAE admission.

Some JC requires to be put in the first choice, especially better ones. They want to make sure you appeal because you like the school but not because you want to be better titled.

Most of the JC won’t accept appeals after 31 Jan. Here is the reason:

On 1 Feb, you have to report to the JC that JAE(MOE) posts you to. There are two possible cases:

If you go to report, the school will register you under their school, you are OFFICIALLY a student of that school from that day onwards. If another JC accepts you appeal after that, this JC has to make request to TRANFERR you out from the original school. This is a three-party agreement, if your original school does not want to let you go, you cannot be transferred out.

If you never go to report, the school will take as you have given up the chance. If no school accept your appeal after this date, you will have NO SCHOOL to go.

Therefore, most of the JCs will only accept appeals and give you confirmation/rejection before Jan 31. Once you are accepted, you can report to this school on 1 Feb instead of the posting school.

I think the appeal interviews apply to DSA phase 2 students, and not all JCs offer DSA phase 2. @ the connections part, lol. where has meritocracy gone to?!

Just that you will need to do it very quickly since the window period for appeal is usually very short.

Decide which JC you are interested to go, then check with those JCs and see if they’re accepting appeal now.

twilight:
I think the one about appealing before JAE results are out, it's best to ask the school directly. I know my school is also accepting appeals from 10 Jan to 31 Jan, but I don't know the rationale behind it, and I don't know how they are going to decide how many appeals they can accept.


The worksheet is just for practice, yes. You don't have to do it if you don't want to.

You can appeal to several schools, but I heard some will only look at your appeal if you had put the school as first choice in JAE. Not sure how true this is, but appeal forms usually do ask for your first choice and second choice schools. If the school appears in neither choices, I guess it's logical that they do not want to entertain such appeal cases. But nothing stops you from appealing.

If both appeals are accepted, you can reject one or even reject both. Ultimately, it's really your call.

Check with Schools such as AJ and CJC and was told to appeal only after posting. Can u advise me which school is accepting appeal now. Base on my result I would definitely need to appeal.
