Want to know why?
If I am the director of admission I have face thousand who is willing to do the same thing. Then what will happen to those who study so hard ?
If is so easy then everyone will follow suit and need not study at all. -
its really stupid .. sometimes its the requirement is stupid. all they could repley is admission is based on merit.
for example , between a person who and great interest in accounting ,study accounting in sec sch and got the highest grade a person could get, and a person who never study accounting at all and know nuts about accounts but just becos he/she get good results for other grades and she/he got into accountacy course. its so stupid . if u were the director of admission who will u choose? personally i choose a person who already have knowledge and interest in that course.
does subjects lik combined humanities , science , F&n , dnt , art relate to accounting?
so damn relistic... -
i realli dun understand , i tot singapore goverment always call us to upgrade ourself den wat they wan is still merit merit all the way , if every singaporean is rich why some rather go to POLY rather den going to private and study , my bf completed ns already wasted 2 years of time and he wan to pursuit with study and still fail to get into poly ... even with the letter of MP

no.
if i let u in, den ill have to let alot of other people in as well.
the best i can do, if im the director, is to put you on the waiting list, if there is an empty place, i'll slot u in asap. if not, den too bad.
i'd suggest u go take O lvls and try again, or consider other poly, or consider private diploma programmes.
how come u can study as "unofficial student" one ar? first time hear.

the problem is they dun even put u into "waiting list" .Originally posted by Ito_^:no.

is merit so important? some ppl is talented in things related to the courses but not at the other subjects that is not related to the course thus ,they cant get in .. riduculas rite.. -

i'll be honest, if it makes you unhappy i'm sorry.
of course it should be on merit. Are you going to deprive another person of the chance to enter on merit jsut because the oter person is willing to go through alot of trouble? rather you should go through alot of trouble AND prove that you m\have merit(ability to cope or do better than the rest, etc)
of course whats merit is subjective.
feel sad for you but i know i won't be happy if i was rejected a place even if i had the requirements because there was some one who didn't but went around getting signatures.
and there are limited places so you can't say letting you in would not deprive others. + imagine if you got in and next ime every one did what you did?
take care maybe try again or theres anotehr route for you? -
I know how you feel TS, I was posted to a course I dun like in poly. Endured a year of shit over there, then I switched to my current course.

that is arguable, but atleast they could do is put u in the waiting list, so if there is any vacancy they could put u in mah.. cos some ppl may drop that course or change to another course etc.Originally posted by hisoka:i'll be honest, if it makes you unhappy i'm sorry.

Oh mine was a design course, so they see a crappy 3D animation I did and take a look at my 'o'-level result (My COP was too high for the course). Then I was in.Originally posted by icyboiz:just want to ask , how u switch to yr current course ? they see yr o lvl result or wad for u to chance course? -
it really depends. if there are already 100 pple on the list i see no point in putting the person in. of course we don't now the exact figure. but in this case, its actually better to tell her/him that theres no place for him/her. no false hopes and the person can start planning what to do and do it sooner.Originally posted by icyboiz:that is arguable, but atleast they could do is put u in the waiting list, so if there is any vacancy they could put u in mah.. cos some ppl may drop that course or change to another course etc. -
but atleast they can do is tell us whether the quene is long .

ns is damn restricting me......
if not i would probaby retake my o lvl -
how about going to ite wif the course u like?
it may sound stupid to lower ur standard. but afterall ur advantage getting a itc in infocom-tech will give u a higher chance of going to poly since it is relevant to ur course. the route may be long but it definitely worthwhile.
or just stick to the stink course u at n graduate wif a diploma. n use tis diploma n apply for infocom-tech again. but keep in mind dat there will be no more tuition fee cut since ur second attempt of getting another diploma.
