Yes, I scored A1 for O level chinese. Although it wasn’t something that is very proud to say or anything but at least it is an achievement. This year distinction rate was like… 20++%? My school’s rate was like 30 plus % only. So low… And i was like, it dropped… Yep, it dropped. Was so worried about the results for the whole day. So it was really great to see i scored A1. I even cried on the spot because i was just that happy. I got the A1 with my own efforts!
Anyway, i also got my DPA results. Holy shit I failed. I mean, I MOST PROBABLY have the MOST interest in the course and i wasn’t selected?! I thought i made it damn clear during the interview i love the course damn much and obviously they doubt it. How can you doubt someone who loved all things human, health and sickness since I was like in kindergarten. They either doubt my ability or my interest. Seriously, why is everyone doubting me? Even the interviewer doubt my ability. Shouldn’t DPA placing be given to those with most interest. I really do not know who else have more interest than me in biomedical science. Hey, the course is like tailor made for me! And I could not get in. Must be my Chemistry get C6 they look down on me…
But C6 in pure chemistry is about B3 in combine chemistry right?(I’m not very sure) If they are really judging me by that then go die. You just denied a student filled with passion for the course because of her result. I know my results are shitty, but is result really a factor? I shouldn’t have listened to those forumers that encouraged me to go. End up wasting my time, efforts in preparing portfolio and making my passion for the course die down a little. I’m now thinking of working towards media instead of health already. Seriously. Okay, maybe not that much.
But I’m thinking of going JC since Poly don’t want me. If my result can get into anderson JC I’m going. It’s set. Since poly look down on me, doubt my passion and ability, then for what i still join them right? I can succeed better in a JC. I shall follow my original plan in going to a JC. Only if i fail to get in anderson jc i will consider poly.
Anyway, thanks for rejecting me. I can’t believe i was rejected. And at least tell me why. If you don’t intent to consider me why make me run the trip all the way down for interview? I even skipped history lesson for the interview.
Biomedical science is officially my second choice. HATE YOU SO MUCH T_T why reject me? Honestly, i loved the course so much at that time. But they rejected me, and i was really angry. I was pinning quite a bit of hope on it. Imagine my horror and shock and disappointment.
Advices to future DPA applicants:
If you have horrible results, don’t bother. You most likely won’t get chosen because those from branded schools are going for the interview too. Yes, bad/average result + neighbourhood school = 1% chance getting in. grrrrr. And try polytechnic like ngee ann or temasek. So many people was rejected by SP (like me) but ngee ann and temasek offered them a place. What a nice and friendly poly ngee ann and temasek is. Should have listen to daddy and choose ngee ann instead. :/ But i love SP’s modules…
And bring IMPRESSIVE portfolio. I really mean IMPRESSIVE. I brought one while most of the other people did not and yet did not get in. Mine is a science course for god sake.
Be prepared for the interview! I prepared and failed. Imagine if you don’t prepare…
And honestly, is my mid year result really really bad until the polytechnic won’t consider me?
English B4(could have gotten B3 if we had listening compre)
Chinese B4 (Funny right? Because i was one of the FEW in my class who got A1. I bet less than 7 people in my class got A1)
Amaths B4 (School’s average was a failing grade if i’m not wrong. It was DAMN difficult. Harder than raffles’s)
Emaths A2 ( They forgot to mark one of my question and it was CORRECT!! -_-” And i didn’t realise when checking)
Combine humanities Hist/ss A1 (82, fucking highest in my cohort. Thankyou!! 😀 )
Chemistry C6
Physics C6
I know my pure science is like crap but that is because i went to take without full knowledge of concept!!
Anyway that is all for my rant. Future DPA students, good luck. Don’t be too sad when you got rejected. You should have expected it from the moment you submit your write up. I didn’t cry when i found out i was rejected, but it was so embarrassing…
