the problem is they dun even put u into "waiting list" .Originally posted by Ito_^: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.![]()
den its purely sad case lor.Originally posted by icyboiz:the problem is they dun even put u into "waiting list" .
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 know how you feel TS, I was posted to a course I dun like in poly. Endured a year of s[b]hit over there, then I switched to my current course.[/b]
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.
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?
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.
try retaking the O's or somethign as private lor or maybe try for some other course then hopefully can get good results and transferOriginally posted by themoment86:beri sad..now i had to wait for another year..to apply again..i am so afraid that next year the cop would be so high again..then how..haix..i realli not keen in other course..they offer me mechatronics..i was like..huh?i dun wish to do something that i dun like...no movtivation n in the end flunk everything...>.<
