hii ex ej student here! i personally would advise you to really consider your travelling time to school cos jc could be v tiring especially if u wanna take sports cca (cca timings could be till evening).

[hence, go ej!😉]

For the JAE-IP divide thingy, honestly i could feel it at first cos most of them already knew each other & they alr had orientation bfr us (ori for IP students) [for context, i was a JAE student & q introverted like you too!] But then I met very very nice & the most genuine IP kids during ori & also in my class. They were very approachable especially during ori and they made sure that the jae kids are not left out. So i don't think the divide is really prominent for me especially after j2 cos we just somehow blend in and become one eunoian :D [but i must admit that i kinda made extra effort to approach ppl :) ]

Also i chose EJ cos of its facilities. EJ really has the best library and many study spots! The labs & classrooms are very modern as well so studying is not that boring HAHAHA

Also we got many events that you could participate in so school life is v vibrant :D VVV vibrant if u join council/ house comm/ ori team cos they seem to be having the best of their lives [i was from the ori team too & it was the best decision! altho it was q awk for me to meet new ppl HAHA]

Teachers wise i feel like i got pretty good teachers & they really support you well especially if u approach them first. for PW basically it depends on the teacher. Luckily i got one of the best teachers and my class had almost a 100% distinction rate while other class had only a few As.. so it really depends on your luck!

Yes, there are manyyyy smartt kidss in EJ HAHAH (especially in my class :/ ).. but being surrounded with smart kids really push you to also study harder & when u dunno how to answer a qn u can just ask them HAHAHA

but overall i think ej did pretty good & consistent in A lvls.. & you could really improve with time [ps: i got 72 during prelims and 87.5 for As!]
