Poly or JC?
-
I'm having my o'level this year and I doesn't have a target yet. For my prelim, I'm just scoring an average 20 for my L1R5 and 14 for my L1B4. I doesn't know where I wanna go now. If i choose to go to a JC, my choices are very limited. (IJC, PJC, etc...). But if I choose to go poly, I'm afraid that I might be able to make it to the U.
Can anyone analysis to me what are the possible outcomes of graduating from a JC and Poly? Is the economy now in favour of poly students or jc students? Which cert or dip can get a better job in the future? and which will be a wiser choice for now.

lols! dat reminds muh of a comment jjc principal makes abt a certain jc tis year.. den dere wuz a big fight. it was one of da most talked abt thing during tt time.. =.=
seriously, its euur decision.. jc seems cool if u wanna go uni but poly is kick ass fun. den lata straight awae can work le.. hees. -
In my opinion, if you KNOW you can make it into Uni, JC is probably a wiser choice as it is geared towards the Uni education, and you waste less time doing so as well. Otherwise, poly may be more practical for you.
It also depends on what course you want to take in Uni. Certain courses may prefer a poly education. -
if you dont know what to do with your future, go to A level and just mug all the way.

If ya can tahan waking up everyday b4 5am, receiving endless tutorials, pop-quizes and lightning fast lectures, survive thru the most grueling P.Es twice a week and your CCA duties for a period of 2 yrs including studying for your exams and reserching for your year long projects.... By all means give JC a shot...
Don't take my word for it... Poly student here.... -

serious? then what's the point of going to jc?Originally posted by Marco_Simone:what i was trying to say is a level cert=o level cert. -
Go JC, that's the shortest and most direct route to local uni, provided you study hard. Any JC, as long as not those that organise fight clubs.

Heyheyhey, I never named anyone or anything.Originally posted by ChairmanJay:u mean acjc? -
Of coz go JC la, then study hard to enter Uni. If you go Poly, scarly stuck at Poly, then you only earn a few hundreds more than ITE grads with your diploma, I will be here laughing at you.

wow... poly in the past like 6yrs back... easy to get into with Avg B+ grades..Originally posted by 798:go poly cos nowaday it's easy to get into uni wif average A grades. somemore wif diploma cert, u can find job or sort out IA companies easily.
seem to show poly.. now harder to get in? compare to the past? -

why nobody here suggest going ITE?

I say Poly. Slightly more liberty, timetable doesn't kill (some assignments would however) and you get to wear what you want than a uniform. (*freedom!*)
Though your milage will vary depending on the course, if you are passionate and determined to do the diploma, you'll might be fine.
Plus your holidays usually aren't together with those of pri and sec school, meaning less annoying brats when outside.
But if you want to enjoy student fare still, have long hours, pressure from A Level, have a timetable that keeps you more fit than Poly studs, then JC's the way to go.
And everything mentioned about faster path to Uni.
GL!

but average A will surely get a place.
