I heard that in many of the top JCs, half of their cohorts are scoring 4 H2 As, and about 20-30% of the cohort scored 90 rank points. It's amazing how so many students nowadays are scoring straight As.
My question is, given the sheer number of straight A students, wouldn't competitive Uni Course (Law, Medicine etc.) take into consideration a students non-academic achievements (CCA Leaders, Student Leaders, CIP, Special Programmes etc.) even more so than before ??
Exactly how important is a student's testimonial & portfolio to get them into their desired courses?
If you don't have excellent testimonial & portfolio, is it impossible to enter competitive courses no matter how well you do??
PS. I'm from a relatively good JC, but I barely had any leadership positions or opportunities - my portfolio is kinda crappy (nothing special inside). I really wanna know whether my opportunities are capped & limited because of my lack of non-academic achievements.
Thank You

tts enough.
Hi,
Just be yourself and show the sincerity to do the course of your choice. Most importantly, affirm that you are not typical but a unique individual with the potential to excel in everything you set your heart to do.
Jiayou!
