Hi there,

My l1r5 is 13 and l1r4 is 12 after deducting my bonus points.
I have always wanted to go to Meridian jc and its also the closest to my house as I stay in the east. As Meridian (11 pts) and Tampines jc (13pts) are merging, moe states that the COP of such schools may increase. So do you think I still have a chance to get into tpmjc?

There are also other options such as millenia (l1r4 - 16 for science) but I am not sure if I would be motivated to study there even though the fact that the syllabus is spread out into 3 years is appealing.

anderson jc (11) and serangoon jc (13) which have similar COP as mjc and tpjc are also merging.So should I give that a chance too?

I think I can get into Pioneer jc (13) and Jurong jc (15) which are merging but it's really far away from my house.

I am really lost and confused as I don't know what to do now. I can't get into most jcs in the east. I always wanted to take the A levels and I have not come to a decision on what to take in poly either.

Please help this poor soul

In addition, I am confused as to what order I should place my jcs,
- meridian/tamp (11 points sci) - 30 mins travel time
- anderson/serangoon (9 points sci) - 1 hr travel time
- yishun/ innova (16 points sci) - 1 hr travel time
- pioneer/ jurong (12 points sci) - 1hr 15 mins travel time
- millenia (16 points sci) - 45 mins travel time

All the jcs I have mentioned (other than millenia) are merging, hence, their COP are expected to increase by 1 or 2 points max. Please help me on which order I should place these jcs. I need to submit the options by tonight so please help me with my future :?: Thank you.

Based on 2018 JAE booklet, cop of mjc, tpjc, ajc and srjc should be 11,14, 9 and 12, resp for science stream; 11, 13, 11 and 13, resp. If you are looking at arts stream, chances of getting in to tpmrjc is higher.

Hey there!
I am planning to take science course in jc.

This is my guess regarding the mergers and the anticipated increase in COPs...

For the east area, Tampines-Meridian JC needs to absorb the “catchment” of students in the East who score 13 points. Otherwise, where can they reasonably travel to? So likely that the COP of the merged JC will increase to 13.

Similarly for north-east area, Anderson-Serangoon JC’s COP is likely to go up to 13.

I think you can put Tampines-Meridian as 1st choice, Anderson-Serangoon as 2nd choice, Pioneer-Jurong as 3rd choice, and the rest put Polys (if u are allowed to. I’m not sure)

If your heart is set on Meridian, and U didn’t get it, maybe u can appeal based on proximity to your house. It’s no joke to travel so far especially JC life could end quite late daily. Good luck!

Thank You so much! It's just the fact that many of my friends who scored below 10 points are trying for meridian that scares me.

[quote=\"sparks\"]Hi, can someone help to confirm if my understanding of posting is correct? If 2 students with same gross and net score say 10 apply for same jc. If there are 10 vacancies for 100 applicants, if student a put the jc as 1st choice vs student b who puts it as 2nd choice, both students still hv equal chance via balloting right? ie the student can take risk to apply for a jc that he is 1 pt short n be safe to enter his 2nd choice where he safely meets the cut off. TIA!

No. The student who put the jc as 1st choice as higher priority. The system will filter all the first choice students and place them accordingly, before moving to the 2nd choice. Hope this information helps.

How about this way

Student A with a nett of 9 points selected one of the JC as his 1st choice.
Student B with a nett of 8 points selected the same JC but is his 2nd choice.

So which student has a higher priority for the same JC?
Base on merit?[/quote]Yes. According to page 11 of the JAE booklet, student with the higher net points will be selected. Student B will be selected into the JC.
