I’ve heard from many people about the BGR problems, abortion rates and stuff related to this. And also about students being very flirty.


How true is this? I went to the open house 2 days ago and just from the open house, I won’t be able to conclude THAT much.

The overall impression is that the school has a pretty sporty culture(?) since frisbee is quite a popular thing among CJCians.

Also, many many people has discouraged me from going to CJC and I would really appreciate it if somebody can enlighten me as to why so, apart from abortion rates but more to like academic reasons.

thanks alot!!

Both poly will welcome you with open arms. Your chance in either NP or SP is super super good in biomedical science. There are some or few students with super good results in biomedical or molecular biotech course. These students know what they want to persue in UNI and go for it.


Forget about CCA, it is not counted in the subject combination. You don't need that 1 pt or max 2 pt CCA bonus deduction after all you have have 6 A1 (or A2) and your COP for L1B4 is 8 points. My daughter is also in NP Biomedical science.

Really? May I know if you work as part of the admissions team in either of the polytechnics? I hear everybody telling me I'll make it to at least one of the 6 courses I applied for - I applied for Veterinary Bioscience as my third choice in NP via the online appeal. Anyway, all of these courses (except bfs) would give me up to a year exemption in NTU's biological sciences, which is also the course I plan to do in future.

I hope my CCA records won't seem like a turn-off for both schools and the respective faculties.. I actually transferred JC this monday and my new uniform is still on hold up until Wednesday so if I don't get any notification by then I need to get the new uniforms already :gloomy:

Hi everyone,


I just applied for Singapore Poly and Ngee Ann Poly for these following courses. Bracketed part is the cut-off point required -

SP, Choice 1. Biomedical Science(8). 2. Biotechnology(10). 3. Banking and Finance(11)
NP, Choice 1. Biomedical Science(9) 2. Molecular Biotechnology(10)

I obtained 6 distinctions in my O levels, got posted to a JC and I realised that since I alr know I am gonna do bio in uni anyways, I’d rather skip the need to do subjects like GP and the contrasting arts and enjoy my education the next 3 years rather than suffer this 2 years.

My L1R4 raw score is 8 points, HOWEVER my CCA got D7. I submitted my appeal earlier today and both schools only required my official O level result slip as well as my CCA records and that’s all. What are the chances?

Hi civic6228, I have been searching high and low as well. It does not seem like MOE has released the scores for this year yet.

I heard that for Victoria JC it's now 5 points for science as they had intakes of 3 students with 5 points nett via the JAE.

As for my school, CJC, the cut off points remains at 10 for both science and art.

Nobody with 9 points nett got in NYJC this time, so there are some speculations that it is now an 8 point-requirement for Science and 9 for Arts.

[quote=\"JonC\"]Heard CJC this year SC is COP 9, is it true?


What is your opinion of the JC?

Does it mean that the JC is getting better when the COP get better?

i'm having my orientation there so far and the school has been really amazing, very very family-oriented environment and they emphasise a lot in the activities we do about bonding with other CJCians.

There are quite many 8 and 9 nett scorers in CJ. the highest raw i've seen is 13 by far with -4 points via JAE.

14 points 10 nett is quite unlikely to get in.

Heard of any successful cases this year for appeal into CJC?[/quote]yup my friend with 12 and 13 raw points got in. 12 raw by general and 13 raw by cca.

I have a nett score of 11. I have place CJ as my 1st and 2nd choice. What are my chances of getting in?

hi, may i know if you got in CJC? i have some friends appealing and was wondering if you did get in via JAE or u appealed.

Hi all. I just got posted to Anderson JC (Arts). It's my third choice.


I kinda regret not putting Anderson JC (Science) as my first choice because I got rejected by NYJC (science). I was initially persistent into choosing NYJC because it offers Art Elective programme. Nevertheless, I appealed to both NYJC Science (I don't really care if I get accepted or not) and AJC Science.

I got a raw of 12 and a nett of 8 (4 bonus points for HMT and CCA) and I'm hoping for AJC Science.

As for my grades, they are not all A1s or A2s. My Chem and Physics are A2 and B3 respectively whereas my C. Humanities (SS/Hist) and Pure Geography are both B3.

What do you think of my chances getting accepted to AJC Science?

/if I get rejected by both AJC and NYJC, I may not stay on for AJC Arts. Instead, I will appeal to JJC Science. I realised that the travelling time taken was a bit too long. If I am accepted by AJC Science, I will stay on because it's worth the time.

Anyway, when will the results for the appeal be out? Or are we notified before 6 February if we are successful? Thanks.

AJC's Science stream is mainly dominated by students with excellent raw scores of 10 and below with almost all A's in their results. The school environment is extremely competitive and full of muggers too.

Also, AJC's math is also probably the toughest and most demanding amongst all JCs (yea, tougher than RJC). So think carefully if you wanna stay in this kind of environment as a 12 raw score holder. Not discriminating or judging, but an environment full of people who are really good in their subjects and score all A's in their tests might make you feel very inferior, pressured and stress you even more. Also, distance is an important factor to consider if your parents do not send you to school as the travelling will waste a lot of time.

Anyway, I'm sure i just repeated information you already knew of when you applied for AJC

All the best to your appeal!

most likely have to appeal

the issue of abortion, was history, but the stigma still stays with the jc. It's a very \"team\" oriented (depending on class and cca), where students are guided to be leaders of compassion and have a heart for others..academic will come in, ie students will help each other.

were/are u a student/teacher from CJC now?

my classmate just told me that CJC doesn't focus on academics very much as compared to many other JCs

SRJC is a good school.


My friend scored 89 rank points for her A’s (almost perfect score, just 1 point away). She’s a student with an illness known as Keratoconus and was absent for many days. In fact, she even had a cornea transplant in her JC life, causing her to miss a lot of lessons.

And it is indeed difficult to catch up on lessons once you miss one because JC life is extremely fast-paced. She still managed to score almost all A’s for her H2 bio, chemistry and mathematics and also for her h1 economics.

SRJC has constantly improved too. So i believe it is worth considering
