Yeah, NYJC is only more popular than EJC for JAE applicants, that’s all.

Extracted from the recent Straits Times article:

NYJC principal Low Chun Meng, who has been heading the school since 2017, says a good cut off point is one measure of how popular a school is, but NOT necessarily a good gauge of how good it is.

Even the principal can acknowledge that.

Every JC has its strengths, there is no need to badmouth or put down other JCs. So what if NYJC has more than 50% with 3H2 distinctions? What happened to the other 40 over percent? Given the calibre of its intake with low cut off point, the percentage should be higher than 50% isn’t it? Has NYJC been of value add to these high calibre students?

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, no need to go around bragging in a forum that NYJC is better than EJC.

Thanks for the sharing.

An impt pt to note from the chart is that SMU’s data was collected from graduates with Cum Lauda and above (typically at least 75 percentile?) while there was no mention of any segmentation by NUS/NTU. So one may assume that for NUS/NTU case, it’s more representative of their general cohorts. One would assume that if the latter 2 uni only publish their survey based on 2nd upper and above, their numbers would be more impressive.

Thus, it’s not really an apple-to-apple comparison. Nothing against SMU, just sharing my own tots on that chart.

is uni B part of the joint application portal uni?
If so, uni B will need to offer before 24 May .

extract fr NUS online acceptance site:
As the Joint Acceptance Portal is the same across the six local universities, namely NUS, NTU, SMU, SUTD, SIT and SUSS, you may be offered a course of study in each of the six local universities if you have met the requirements of each university. The Joint Acceptance Portal will reflect the place(s) that have been offered to you. Example, if you are offered a place each in NUS and NTU, the Joint Acceptance Portal will reflect the two courses.

You are only allowed to accept one offer from one of the six universities if you have been offered by more than one university.

Yes, both unis are part of the joint application portal. And Uni B has not offered anything yet - still stated as processing. Are you sure all 6 unis have to offer before 24 May? How do Uni waitlists work then (it seems like unis have waitlists as seen from the medicine course thread)? Won’t they have to wait until those with offers make a decision to accept or reject first before they can release any vacated slots to those on the waitlists? Which means the vacated slots will be made available to those on the waitlist only after 24 May? And that’s why they have the second offer acceptance window? :scratchhead:

Thanks Chief. Just trying to understand how it works.


There are two Common Acceptance windows for local Uni applicants ie
1) 3 Jan - 24 May 2022 (for admission offers made before 24 May 2022)
2) 1 June - 17 June 2022 (for admission offers made between 25 May - 16 Jun 2022)

Uni A has given an offer and the applicant has to accept by 24 May. But Uni B is still processing and any offer from them will likely only come in after the first Common Acceptance window period. Am sure there are many applicants in this situation ie they will want to receive Uni B’s offer before making the final decision.

Why will the applicants be blacklisted when such a situation is common and not within their control?

Hi, may I know, if one has an offer from Uni A and is still waiting for Uni B’s offer, due to the acceptance deadline, will there be any penalty if he accepts Uni A’s offer first, and subsequently if he gets Uni B’s offer, he gives up Uni A and goes for Uni B instead?


Anyone knows what sort of penalty will there be, if any, imposed by Uni A?

Hello Parents,

My DS scored AL7(D), and he is going for Catholic High OP (6M to 9M). But we're worried he may not get in as the vacancies for non affiliated is only 20% (which is balance 30 out of 150 places, assuming 80% full take up rate by affiliated students). May I know if anyone can advise if CHS usually max out their 80% of affiliated intake in previous years?

As we're uncertain if he can get into his 1st choice, we intend to put Nan Chiau High (4M to 11M) as 2nd choice. Based on my understanding from the posts in this forum, can I say since the S1 posting is by merit, he will be safely posted into NCHS despite being 2nd choice?

Thanks in advance!

CHS never maxed out 80% of affiliated intake, at least not for the past few years.

Thanks JGMum!

May I know from experienced parents here how many sets of school uniform should the boys have? Do they wear the school uniform often or are they allowed to be in PE shirts and shorts on certain days of the week? Thanks.

Thank you!
