Admission criteria and Food for thought
I dunno i shall be glad or angry when i read the news abt the new university admission criteria this year.
First, they scraped off the SAT test. Damn it, I had spent more than $240 for the 3 SAT tests I took over the past year.Took more than once, so that i can have a higher grades and higher chance to enter the U. if the are scraping the SAT this year, why do they post a notice at the end of the Last year saying all applicants have to sat for the SAT , and the last SAT test results they accepted is the Jan 2004 test paper.
Duh!
Now for Poly grads' applications, the admission criteria is as follow:
Poly results --75% (used to be 65 % as SAT accounts for 25%)
O'level results -- 20% (used to be 15%)
CCA -5%
that's something i worry, cos my Poly results are mostly Bs than As.
But one thing good is that the diploma can be applied to any discipline. Hmm more choices, but still have to depend whether yu meet their criteria first mah.
just pray lor.
Food for thought:
ok, mentioned my friend sent me this:
There are people who may be suitable for you at different stages in your life. It's really the timing, circumstances and the way the relationship grows that leads a person to the point where he/she decides that that is the person they'd like to marry.
so, if a couple after years of courting, and circumtances changes, blame it on the events and circumstances that they break off and will not get marry. then where does the love comes in. I always thought that if two people are really in love,they will accept the other no matter under what circumstances.
I am actually quite disheartened when my gal friend, who have been with her Bf for 6 years told me now that somehow, she got a feeling that she might not marry him in the end. She even mentioned that, her feelings for her bf had die down a little, but her bf still treat her and love her so much. we all thought that they make the perfect couple and will be receiving their wedding invitation in a couple of years.
Then my colleague told me that for most of her friends, those who had a long term relationships (abt 4-6 yrs) had broken up, yet after that, they met their "The ONE" and gotten married within 2 years of courting.
So is it the circumstances that affect the relationship? Especially for those couple who start dating ard 18-20s, most of them will have a change in attitudes, goals and preferences after they entered the working world. Then they have different expectations for their partners. Which is why most will not get married to each other in the end.
Am i right to explain that way?
