yea, funny sometimes. i agree that both ITE and poly are on a parallel track, just with different level of prestige.

so why then is a JC grad not considered a first time college student? =/

if you take into account...a GCE "O" level cert is roughly equivalent to an american high school diploma, then surely everything after that is considered as college? no? since its all post-secondary education.
