Thanks for sharing. It is indeed a difficult decision to make.

So it means that he will only need to take the test if shortlisted for PSC scholarship ? How about the other government scholarship such as MOE, IRAS, LTA etc ? He can apply directly to these government scholarship even though he didn't take the test previously?


Scholarship application Sep 2017 to Mar 2018 is for PSC scholarship or all government scholarship ?

Thanks!

I don't know what the other organisations require, and what the application periods are. As far as I know, everyone is free to apply for a scholarship if they meet the criteria. He should look at the websites of the organisations he is interested in, or check a website like Brightsparks which contains info on lots of scholarships. Is he in a JC? Someone there may have the info.

Ok, thank you for the information.

Hi,


Anyone know whether
1) psychometeric test is compulsary when a child apply for government scholarship ? in other words, if the child has not taken the psychometeric test, then he will have no chance in taking a government scholarship ?

2) Where can he register and take this test if he has missed this test in his JC ?

Thank you.

I believe that all shortlisted PSC scholarship candidates will have to take the test. So I expect that once your son has applied for a scholarship (whenever that is) and is shortlisted, he will be asked to take the test. Scholarship applications are open from Sep 2017 to Mar 2018.

Nyjc has posted photos of their Top Honours students is 1 way of its fantastic A Level performance.

Is this a graduating cohort photo or a misleading honour roll awardees photo?

MyMelborne:

I think your initial thought is right, ilovelaksa.
There's definitely a mistake in the facebook!
Ever see Honour Roll awardees carrying haversacks and slingbags up the stage to receive their awards?
Without any student milling around the supposedly busy hall, it suggests that the entire graduating cohort are Honour Roll awardees. How is that possible? :?
Or what is the standard of Honour Roll that 100% of the students can achieve?

In NYJC website, the caption of the photo is simply 'Congratulations to class of 15/16'.
But facebook caption refers them as 'honour roll awardees'.
Crester, I give you the honour to investigate & clarify our doubts.

I am not joining in this war of debate but rather to bring justice to the students in the photo.

The photo in the FB and school website is indeed ALL students that are in the HONOURS ROLL (students scoring 3As to 7As). A total of about 260 students score at least 3 distinctions in 3 H2 and a pass in GP. It is NOT the 2016 cohort photo for the school. How can a cohort of about 750 J2 students be housed on the small stage ??

Why the students bring their bags along ? Because they gathered in the Hall and run up the stage to hand-shake with the 2 principals (ex and current) then after they will go out of the Hall to collect their result slips. Do you think the kids will remember to remove their bags, caps before dashing up the stage ? They are all jumping with joy already...

Next question to pop up with be \"How do you know this ? What proof do you have ?\"
Answer is : I was in the Hall when they announced the results.

Well, you can choose not to believe this if you still doubt in NYJC performance, so be it.

Have a nice day.

Hi,


May I know :
1) How does a personal statement looks like and what type of information to be included in the personal statement ?
2) Is personal statement require for all university admission ?
3) for those courses that need interview/tests, if after all the rounds of interview/tests and the kid did not get selected, will he lost out on his other choices ? eg if his 1st choice is Law and 2nd choice is Business Admin, would he still be able to get into Business Admin if he get rejected for Law ?

Thank you.

Hello i am also applying for uni this year! regarding your questions,
1) a personal statement is basically one where you show off your qualities as a person that is outside of your results. basically whatever institution that you're going to apply to will already have your results/ or will know your results so a PS is something to let them know what sort of a person you are like/what are your guiding principles and values/what do you do outside of studying etc. generally a PS is specific to the course that you are applying for (so eg if you applying for medicine your PS would be something that answers \"why is medicine for me?\")
2) most courses in Singapore do not require a personal statement (the ones that require one, off the top of my head would be medicine) UK and US universities require a personal statement for all their courses though
3) yes, definitely. its like your choice of school for your secondary/jc. So a 2nd choice dunman high school would lose out to a 1st choice dunman high school but order of choice would be quite inconsequential (if the choices dont differ by too much!) uni courses will still look at other areas and is quite meritocratic one

Hi,
1) Do you have any sample on the personal statement ? how do I structure the personal statement and the opening statement ? I have no idea how to go about writing the statement ...

2) Do you know what is the different between Standard Admissions pathway, Exceptional Individual Scheme and Discretionary Admissions ?

3) From the university websites, the entry criteria is usually the grade for 3H2/1H1 (eg AAB/B) with a C in GP and project work, where can I find the UAS (rank point) for the courses ?

Thank you.
