Prospective student of "Bishan" JC

International Students
1

<p>Hi, Singaporean CC users. I have graduated from a neighbourhood sec sch and I’m going to attend “Bishan” JC next year as I was accepted through DSA Band (I play the Tuba anyways). For those who have graduated from this school, I have a few questions to ask regarding the school.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>How’s the school culture like? Is it like a super-tough, competitive and dog-eat-dog society as they say?</p></li>
<li><p>How are the students like? Nerdy, arrogant and fake as people say or not?</p></li>
<li><p>How rigorous is the curriculum?</p></li>
<li><p>Are the teachers very helpful like those in neighbourhood schools or indifferent as they say?</p></li>
<li><p>Are my chances going to an Ivy increased by attending this school?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Bishan JC? Got such a thing? Ivies are tough for anyone, though I don’t think the adcoms are able to tell the difference between RJC and BJC. (but as it is likely that the Ivies get a good number of applicants from Sg, they might expect to see that you attended RJ, etc).</p>

<p>Definitely do well in A levels lor!</p>

<p>“Bishan” JC </p>

<p>I see what you did there :).</p>

<p>I’ve heard that they give good guidance counselling when it comes to applying overseas. So that’s probably a plus point compared to other JCs.</p>
