I'm a Sec 5 student and did my O's in 2009.
English B4
Chinese A2
Math B3
Principle of Accounts B4
Combine Science E8
Combine Humanities C6
CCA C6 (able to minus 1 point)
L1R4 = 19
ELR2B2-D= 21 , ELR2B2-B= 19, ELR2B2-C= 21
Unfortunately, I did not get any of my 12 choices.(JAE)
I applied for DAE and tried appealing. My appeal is unsuccessful so,
#1 I'm wondering should I retake my Science to at least a B4 and POA to B3 as I really wish to enrol in Apparel Design and Merchandising (COP 14~15) at Temasek Poly .
#2 Or should I just accept the offer given by RP - Sports & Leisure Management which I'm not interested in, and transfer out later ?
I lived at the East side so it's not really convenient to travel so far to study a course I'm not really interested in for at least a year?
Please advice.
Thanks!
I'm sorry, I have forgotten to list that I have not study Combined Science for the past 5 years >.<
As for POA, it took me a year to get from F9 to B4.

The most important things are that whether you have the confidence that you will improve, and the commitment to work extremely hard to ensure that your grades will improve. Lacking either of these two will likely result in similar grades once again ( Touchwood ).
I have no idea whether it will be easy to transfer out from RP or not, but I highly doubt that you are the only one with the idea of transferring from one course in a poly to another course in another poly. Thus, if you really wish to enter your desired course, it will be better for you to retake your "O"s.
However, if you ended up choosing to enter the diploma course in RP, yet failed to transfer out ( Touchwood again ), I will advice that you work hard and also read up about the routes which you can take from there on.
All the best to whichever choice you make.
