  Hello everyone, I am a Sec 4 student studying in RI. The problem is my secondary school testimonial and academic studies are not that good. If i manage to do really well in RJC, will i still get accepted to the ivy league or will they reject me because of my RI testimonial?

  Thanks to everyone who helps

  So good. My sec sch form teacher was this disgusting auntie who teaches civis and moral education when she herself fails horribly as an educator.

  mine was a stock paragraph where my teacher inserts 3 different nice-sounding adjectives for each student... other than that, all our testimonials looked very similar to each other...
