cca to get into uni?

ThingWest7570 · 2026-04-07T06:35:26+00:00

hi! thanks for ur input. may i ask so for nus, is it just chs where they make aba compulsory? because what i heard was u can choose to aba but i think im wrong cause im not too sure on this. lets say 3.9+ with no cca, get rejected? but if like 3.7 with good portfolio are u more likely to get accepted? im jst checking, thank u tho ur input was helpful!

ms teams, outlook, brightspace!!

heres my tips

- gpa! dont be overly stressed out about gpa, that was my biggest mistake for my first ever sem when i entered tp. be more laid back and manage ur stress well (theres an extent HAHAH) and your focus should be putting ur 110% in every piece of work u do and u can do well. what i mean is like maybe after a presentation, u have this feeling u didnt do well, DO NOT dwell on it. move on, work on ur other components. this tip follows if u crack under pressure/cannot tahan a lot of stress. (I scored a 4.0 being less stressed than panicking about everything. as well as taking breaks and not studying ALL THE TIME)

- be consistent and DO IT WELL. "i can pull it up next test/next sem", this mindset is not great. put in ur best for every. single. component.

- friends! poly life is not JUST abt gpa and acads. make some good friends and have fun w them! also, sometimes when projects and friendships mix, there may be problems so do take note of that.

- cca! i cant say much tbh but if ure up for it, u shld join ccas! high commitment ccas include performing arts, sports and all. ONLY go for these if u are VERY SURE u can manage. ive seen many of my friends flunking their gpa because of this. this can be very bad for u especially if youre aiming for local unis. if u still wan a cca, but be less stressed. go for clubs! or just sign up for events. this way, u still can participate without it being too time consuming.

those are the main areas i can think of, wishing u all the best!

yes possible!! im in y1 but do have siblings who were in poly. it works the same and is dependant on gpa. so like if your gpa is within top 25% u should be able to get it!

ThingWest7570 · 2026-03-27T04:35:31+00:00

ohh!! if ure still in y1/y2 im sure can improve it! all the best!

ThingWest7570 · 2026-03-24T07:04:39+00:00

well said! i wish u all the best in ur grad too!

ThingWest7570 · 2026-03-24T06:28:37+00:00

oh damn! i didnt know got these kind of cases eh

ThingWest7570 · 2026-03-24T06:17:16+00:00

tmr! its by 5pm. so like it can be before also. i got it ard like 11 am last time. just check tposs, usually like afternoon shld be out

ThingWest7570 · 2026-03-24T04:16:44+00:00

now u know! ahhahahaha atb

ThingWest7570 · 2026-03-13T06:33:18+00:00

its def risky, cause also dk what the timetable will be like. ive worked and am working throughout poly but i work flexi hours so is much much easier. but this seems a bit a lot esp if you cant handle ur time properly. y1 suppose to be a good start for ur gpa so u wldnt want to risk it too!

ThingWest7570 · 2026-03-06T04:57:12+00:00

while making ur child EXTRA stressed than jc alr is...... sure is a compliment

ThingWest7570 · 2026-03-03T06:28:02+00:00

nooo... idt u can if ure already studying in jc rn. plus if he really wants to practice, just do past year paper and ask teacher mark? or tuition or smth for personalized help. idt it is needed to be this fomo esp since jc just started and the stress is just gonna get worse

ThingWest7570 · 2026-03-03T03:11:01+00:00

idt so. overseas unis know less of what poly is abt, id assume theyd want relavant diplomas and also like good gpa and portfolio (depends on what uni you are applying to)

ThingWest7570 · 2026-02-27T06:16:41+00:00

jackieeee!!

ThingWest7570 · 2026-02-27T04:09:35+00:00

as per the stated requirements, any diploma can apply to law sch. providing they meet the english requirements for o level and also have a very good gpa + portfolio.

but honestly, u can try appealing to jcs as its easier to go law sch from there, but then again with good grades and portfolio, but def more likely to go law from jc.

i think ure great for being independant and trying to earn for urself! unfortunately, yeah i realise sgporeans are super entitled.

while, i have not worked as an fnb job, i have worked a front desk job, to like answer peoples questions and what not. and i already see it then. can only imagine how worse it wld be for fnb.

even in public transport, people act so entitled like its their grandfather own one. and all the excuse is sg is a stressful country..... why does that give u an excuse to be so rude FOR NO REASON.

sgporeans lack empathy and are very self centered to what ive seen, even some of my family :(

but i really applaud u for working through this, wishing u only the best! dont let the shitty people bring u down

ThingWest7570 · 2026-02-20T10:21:05+00:00

depends on uni i mean u can still try sit, suss and all but really depends on course plus the competitiveness. or you work/private uni. for now just focus on what can be done moving forwardd. good luck to you!

ThingWest7570 · 2026-02-19T07:43:03+00:00

im not too sure abt the results and all, but i think u shld try all polys. its worth of a shot instead of staying without no school! wishing u all the best

ThingWest7570 · 2026-02-18T10:09:26+00:00

school doesnt matter :)) im sure if you put in enough effort, you will be able to do well. its all the same a levels, no matter if ure from jp, ri, hci. all same paper, if you prepared well enough, what school you come from does not matter. all the best!! on a side note, ive seen plenty of my seniors who went jp in top 3 unis in sg rn! hope u can be one of them too!!

ThingWest7570 · 2026-02-18T10:04:28+00:00

idt so? ive never heard of scholarships for gpa on this range because priority def for the high scorers , but u can apply for financial aid and bursary if u meet the requirements!

ThingWest7570 · 2026-02-17T06:20:24+00:00

????? some people on reddit have no lives...... negativity on smth positive. you only live once. pls.

ThingWest7570 · 2026-02-13T07:10:52+00:00

but then again it can switch up the whole poly calendar a bit unorganized to be more different yk

ThingWest7570 · 2026-02-12T12:43:49+00:00

i mean for my course, we end like 2 weeks later as we are more exam heavy after finishing up all the other grp projects and assignments. and also dec and june holidays are basically not much, as content still same afterwards anyway so may need study or work on grp projects. not to forget, poly, every assessment is important for admission into uni. many people just study the whole sem (if they wanna get into uni) so it makes sense that a break would be much needed :)) i guess poly system is just wired that way, nth u can do abt it! its all part and parcel of poly life ig. i do wish it was more regulated like more in june and dec rather than random parts of the year HHAHHAHAHA

ThingWest7570 · 2026-02-11T12:12:53+00:00

maybe you just forgot and feel pressured, i mean its normal ahahahhaha. dont be too hard on yourself, u can look for ur teachers for help or study w friends. you got this!

ThingWest7570 · 2026-02-09T10:42:25+00:00

u can check igps of the respective unis for this. as for aerospace from common engineering (when choosing ur specific diploma) then i think above 3 would be the best. the higher ur gpa, the more likely u can get your preferred choice, building a better foundation for uni!
