no money, no uni
with my below par results, the only way i can pursue a degree in female anatomy engineering or aero-related engineering is to get my 6-month validity only passport stamped and fly away to some foreign country where sex is as rampant as starbucks coffee along orchard road. the cost of studying abroad is definitely equivalent to feeding 10,000 impoverished african children two meals a day everyday for the next 2 years. so i guess the only way for me to leave singapore is to sell the house, or offer my ass off changi village. but in the first place, i don't even know if i meet the distinctions-only entry requirements of the universities. if only it was as easy as getting into a course in polytechnic; C6 for 5 O level subjects. so then i thought my chances of entering a uni, a local one, would have been better if i had gone to a jc. but i think i would have without a doubt failed the promos and then flunking the a levels.
what if poly students are given priority when it comes to admissions into the local universities? the edge that we have over jc students is that we are more experienced in the field of study that we're in. we are familiar with the subjects that are going to be taught in the university. practical-wise, we're definitely more competent. i checked out NTU's aerospace program and their practical labs are more or less the same as SP's. the modules too. just that it's going to be more difficult and in depth in the varsity.
but i'll be unfair to the jc students if they're at a disadvantage when it comes to entrance into a uni because that's the reason why they go to a jc, so that they sit for their a levels and get into a uni. it'd be stupid to sit for a levels and end it there since the a level cert is 'lower' than the diploma.
so the best solution is to accept a tad more poly students into the uni. accepting only the top 10% of poly students into a uni is just too little. perhaps, don't even have a quota but just a minimum entry requirement. a GPA of 3-3.2(B average student) seems feasible enough. getting an average of 70 marks for around 35 modules isn't as easy as saying 'YAHOO JUST ONE MORE DAY LEFT TO FAST!'
