Elitism - don't you dare deny its existence

Attended 2 of those research programme talks, namely Nanyang Research Programme (with NTU and NIE) and Science Research Programme because I really need to build up my tissue-paper-thin portfolio (other than being CCA leader I really don't have any other worthy achievements, that is, unless you count passing china studies as one).

Skimming through the info pamphlets and word doc, the only words screaming at me were
"O level equavilebt of 6 points"
"70% and above for math, eng and all sciences"
"150 spaces nationwide"
"20 per school"

I got A2 for math, b3 for bio, b4 for chem and b3 for bio. But that's not stopping me from applying because I really need pretty records since there is only ONE vet science scholarship available in sgp.

Thinking of RJ, HCJ, NJ, ACJ people makes me shiver.

If I'm facing so much competition, how do people in those not-as-academically-inclined schools feel?
(Not looking down at anyone or any school, but rather I'm #justsaying)


Ah well at least I'm not alone (:
TYVM Leigh, my struggle-buddy and D, my main source of motivation! (L)





whoaaa. I just saw the papers with an article about a 40-year-old taking O levels. MADNESS. I don't feel admiration at all! To be honest, I just feel better about myself HAHAHA! (back to old self alrdy heeheeeheeeee)
