Me too, with long bronze coloured hair but always kena tio tekan by DM in my sch.
And too bad he cant book me because I came late for school most of the time and handed my ez link over to general office liao -
I think I posted a thread like this too one year ago when I was doing my PAE.
Anyway, just to share a little about what I know about my JC. First of all, to calm your nerves, you will make it as long as you take higher mother tongue and obtain seven points (before bonus points). Although there are quotas for non-RP students, there is still space for a few hundred, considering our cohort size of about 1200.
The one thing exceptionally pleasant in RJC is the wide assortment of co-curricular and enrichment programmes available throughout the year. If you do enough research and pay adequate attention, there are more than enough activities to keep yourself occupied fruitfully. Some programmes include overseas CIP, science research programmes, bicultural programmes, various competitions (science olympiads even) as well as job attachments. Participate intensely and make the best of your experience there. Did I mention that there are almost 100 CCAs in RJC?
The pressure to do well is unsurprisingly high in a stellar institution such as RJC, but if you have been doing good at your secondary school, there should be nothing to worry about. The teachers are really a great aid; exploit them. The Chemistry department virtually spoonfeeds you to get your A in chemistry, so does the Mathematics department to a smaller extent. By the way, try not to worry so much about competition from the RP students. Most (and I mean a large majority) are not very bright, and probably know very much less than an O-level graduate. You are actually at an advantage academically.
Just make good use of your experience at RJC if you ever make it there. Good luck!

So, on the average, each CCA will have 30++ students? But judging from how some CCAs win awards ... most students have at least 2 CCAs ???Originally posted by RETARDED_MORON:Although there are quotas for non-RP students, there is still space for a few hundred, considering our cohort size of about 1200.

what happens when you enter RJC.
1. your favourite hang-out spot will be Junction 8.
2. either you join sports CCA or you be/look like nerd.
and yes, even 0 points doesnt guarantee you a place there. -
The usual stereotypes... in their exaggerated forms.Originally posted by lpx88:Wad bout the people there?Students?Their character?
And you'll get to meet the idiots, otherwise known as student councillors. They don't pass their exams and sit around painting banners all day. -

That's about right. The female nerds are really revolting, as with the male ones anyway.Originally posted by littlefishtan!:Are there those very nerd kind with high tucked in skirt/pants and high socks with all hair tied back (u get the idea right?)?
The nerds study ahead several chapters, carry their files everywhere, revise during recess and their 'chill out' time comprises reading newspapers and listening to BBC World Service.
The only problem is, you would probably end up working for one of them in the future, as Bill Gates said.

All the people there are very academic like one...

this was the requirement for last year

L1R5 6
bonus points of 2 from hmt and 2 from cca

have a good testimonial and cca records
getting 6 points is the minimum requirement
the people there compare A1s not points
but i must say rjc life is good, like the canteen is fabulous
the school provides u will alot of chances to groom and excel
alot of overseas trips
but they are very pro english speaking
so if u chinese speaking

You should seriously consider Hwa Chong Institution. To date, Hwa Chong Institution has produced the highest number of President's scholars among all junior colleges in Singapore. The President's scholarship is Singapore's most prestigious undergraduate award offered by the Public Service Commission. Hwa Chong students also take an impressive share of government and private organisation undergraduate scholarships every year. HCI admits pre-university students who are within the top 5% of the cohort. HCI has the distinction of being the top college for two elective programmes: namely, the Humanities Programme and the Chinese Language Elective Programme. HCI has the highest percentage of students awarded government scholarships for these two programmes. -
