[Urgent] AJC, JJC or PJC?

I need help. Urgently. Tommorow will be the last day to hand-in my JAE and stuff.

L1R5: 11 (with CCA minus 2 = nett 9)

EL: B3
CL: B3
Combined humanities: B3
Pure Chem: A1
Pure Bio: A1
E Math: A1
A Math: A2

I'm currently deciding between Jurong JC and Anderson JC.I plan to apply for Science stream, BCME. H2 Bio, Chem, Math, H1 Econs.

For JJC: Very high chance of getting in. COP 15.

Seems like the school has a nice, friendly environment. With my score I might get into top few classes for BCME = better teachers. Should I appeal for Scholarship programme, which needs to be raw 10 pts and below, and take 4 H2 subjects? Or is it too heavy?

And from what I've heard, their Chem and Bio teachers are very, very good. I want to do scientific research in the future (either chem, bio or both), hopefully with A*Star, so I guess this is an added bonus.



For AJC: Chance of getting in. Their Science COP is 8 pts.

I can always appeal through choir, even though I don't have any awards to show for it lol. Can anyone please tell me about their experience in AJC? Teachers, students, environment... anything!


For PJC: Definitely can get in. COP 16. May consider this... opinions on this school please? It's closest to my house, but I really need to know about the school culture and experience there. Also I heard PJC as a whole is improving significantly over the years, so is it worth it?


JJC: ~ 40 mins from home
AJC: ~ 50 mins from home
PJC: ~ 20 mins from home

Please reply ASAP. Thanks!!

The 2012 JAE registration will be held over 5 calendar days starting from 3pm on 09 Jan 2012, and ending at 4pm on 13 Jan 2012.

I hope the "tomorrow" is not referring to 14 Jan 2012 Saturday !!

OOOO.... if you can get into the screen to fill up your choices, I think it is ok. Did you get a successful message screen?

I just checked the JAE page, and only see this message
"The JAE registration is now closed. The posting results will be tentatively released on 30 Jan 2012."

To be on the safe side, you can call MOE to check on your submission status, via this website
http://www.moe.edu.sg/about/contact/

Just think of reasons like "I click submit button but nothing happen...." or "I just want to be ensure my submission is successful..." or "i submit but my pc hang after that, i did not see any successful message..."

Yup my submission was successful. I got into the screen with the choices and filled them out. I finished it by 4:04pm and I printed it out.

Omg, I was.. lucky o___o A few minutes later and I would have been a goner. *heart attack*

Thank you. I honestly thought it was 14 Jan, not 13 Jan...

I still hope that they will consider my submission to be successful... :/ If not I really won't know what to do.

As long as you managed to print out something ( i believe is a list of choices you have submitted), i think it is successful.

All the best and hope you get into your dream school :)

I was still deciding between AJC and JJC, but I put JJC as my first choice in the end. :D

Oh yeah, and I called to MOE just now and they said it should be successful. I left my contact number, so they can confirm it, but I think it should be fine.

Thank you koguma :)
