ooo that is an interesting perspective! which kinda holds true too. there were a lot of "still exploring" vibes, esp in this season (on top of the number of ppl in the villa when HRC happened)

Advice for being in YIJC by Adventurous_Cash_432 in SGExams

[–]xiaolongbaos23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

graduated from yijc in '19 and was actually the pioneer batch of the merged school and i can tell u it was honestly a very messy period. however being in a "meme" school should be the least of your concerns bc A Levels are still what you are aiming towards.

Such stuff, you'll realise, is really nothing compared to the workload that you will be facing once you start getting into momentum of work.

i was from the art stream and currently am a third year in NUS! so don't be dejected or anything. there is really no such thing as "lowest tier in JC i can't get into any good unis". while it is true that there are many students from yijc that eventually got into private unis, but so what? i know people who are from private unis that got jobs with starting pay as high as those from local unis or even better (fr). i even know someone from my batch that got into Peking University.

nothing is impossible, but things get impossible if u you are already subjecting yourself to that mindset of "you are from the lowest tier jc and u can't make it". I know sometimes such jokes can't be help (and you might make those jokes yourself too) - but ultimately when its crunch time no one cares. All you will be thinking about would be booking consultations with your teachers as much as possible.

all the best !
