So you’re months away from becoming a full-fledged polytechnic student.

Now you need to know how to dress like one. Here are some fashion tips just for you!

Congrats to all of you who got what you deserved for your O’s! Now it’s crunch time, the all-important JAE week.

We spoke to some poly seniors and here are tips that they’d like to share with you:

• When you choose a course, make sure you have the interest to sustain you for three years
• Evaluate on your strengths and interests. Don’t just listen to what others had to say about the courses and the schools
• Choose a course which you know you’ll be interested in. It helps if you have a rough idea of what you want to do in the future
• Use the COP only as a guide
• Don’t rule out a course if your ELR2B2 is lower than the previous year’s COP.
• Use your 12 choices wisely and realistically
• Rank your choices by course/institution
• Include a course that you stand a good chance of gaining acceptance
• Remember that applicants may not always get what they want:
• About 50% will get their first-choice course
• About 75% will get a course within their first three choices
• Study what you like. Or like what you study.

Good luck and may the force be with you!
