ok...saw the report on raffles jc...they say when they move to the new bishan hq...they would be even bigger than any other school...hwa chong can bother to move over...HCJC isn't even bigger than CCHMS(their premises i mean)or even dunman...and the whole area...most likely would be as big as the adriatic sea

so this brings me to mind the 17 JCs that we'd be choosin come 24 NOV for PAE(the last last time there will be prelim admission)

Raffles

Pros:super infrastructure,good students who had the chance of the lifetime to end up there...slacker and nerd friendly,very good CCAs...and of course the cream of the crop teachers
Cons:quite atas(hoity toity) to some ppl...and some students may have a tendency to try and outsmart each other
overall...u got the points then talk...but their admission criteria quite slack one...so as long ur finish score is between 2-8(for sci)(or 2-9 if u wan arts)...13-4,12-3,11-3,11-4...6-4 all can...mr hodge say one...and many ppl think 900 is the typical anmount of student a JC enrols...and i believe it's 1100...but if mr hodge has his way...1650(perhaps...can squeeze...juz borrow land from RI and that's a deal by itself)
rating:6 star like the conrad centennial...got money then talk

Hwa Chong (alias HCl)

pros:vibrant arts scene and somewhat okay in sports as would chinese style schs...cosmopolitan style...unlike NYJC which is decidedly cheena to english educated and ACJC and RJC which are more like...bananas to the chinese leaning
cons:u noe why hc has the highest abortion rate among all JCs...sex in the city perhaps...and then the principal anmd some teachers aren't that helpful...as do some of the students who seem diffuse
overall:quite excellent students but as a legend goes...u either end up there with ur stead or u'd be hooked by roving singles when they appear...and yeah...the abortion rate is well covered by the hcjc ppl
rating:5 star...

National(didn't go to their open house)

pros:maths quite good,as do the fact that they churn out a whole legion of MPs...
cons:maybe a bit dull like their uniform,ccas take a back seat except table tennis,not too conducive for friends
overall:ok...their academic excellence makes them no.3...but constant efforts to overtake raffles and hc have make them quite stuck up
rating:4.5 star...can do with more friendliness

Victoria
pros:arts scene quite okay...good arts stream, but is quite a balanced curriculum...quite good CCAs...
cons:2nd batch ppl may find that they have less cheese to eat(and less leadership posts)
overall:quite a cool option...so many good cchm,s students go there...but dunman nerd and anglican gas cylinder also come here...so do ppl tired of being in a fully anglo environ
rating 5.5 star

Temasek
pros:well...decent ccas...nice balance in curriculum...good principal
cons:ok none of note,...somehow the only gripe was that if u are the atas brit sort who sees class...dun go...u find them quite playful as the best neighbourhood sch ppl goes there as well...
overall:very popular...can't squeeze all like mr hodge can so if u can't dun be diapoointed
rating

Anderson(didn't go their open house)
pros:ok...just the no 1 neighbourhood jc who have excellent results to boot
cons:like their principal they are a boring lot...maybe their wish to be top 5 has taken a toll
overall:ok la...dun expect too much in the face of competition

Anglo Chinese (or snob city to bengs and lians)
pros:wah piang...so big...sports complex,labs...u wan u got...vibrant cca scene also...and arts friendly...music...well u can also have it there...academically...since some of the past president scholars come from here...well...
cons:somehow they have taken up the methodist virtue of generiosity and hence the cost of living in ac is the highest
overall:if u have money to spare going to orchard road...this is it...and u muz be quite gd as well

St Andrews(or Saints...moving 2006)
pros:ok lor...quite okay in ccas and academic results...caring lot...anglican virtues in full force...and they're quite interesting...saint stickmen and halos
cons:some ppl may think there's too much god invoked..and their malan road premises are quite rundown...but u'd be rewarded come 2006
overall:okay

Tampines (which some ppl mistakenly end up thinking they chose TJC)
pros:decent results to boot...
cons:not much cca achievements
overall:a working class jc where u'd be working 4 ur results for real

Pioneer
pros:boosted by ex top sch ppl makes the jc quite a standout
cons:too young to make a impression in the face of well established heavyweights
overall:welcomes u with open arms...doesn't sound like a bottom 5 jc

Nanyang
pros:good at humans and chinese...newly upgraded
cons:too cheena to english educated...
overall:the last decent JC if u wanna go university

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jurong
pros:no impression
cons:no impression
overall:no impresion

Catholic
pros:truthfully...none

overall:dun recommend ya to go except when forced

Serangoon(akas super raffles jc)
pros:heard they are a honest bunch...no proof
cons:infested with bengs and lians...so u know what to excpect
overall:u rot i rot...so avoid...unless u are a silvestre sim wan-na-be

Yishun
pros:very flexi course options...quite good when you need to boost your rating
cons:being infested with bengs and lians again
overall:this deserves a benefit of a dooubt

Innova
pros and cons:so new...flaws can't surface yet
overall:dunno...u can be a pioneer and depending on your luck it's either a barren sahel or el dorado
