I despise people who go poly with the intention of doing better than their less-academic inclined students in poly, just to get a better chance of entering uni (because they know they lose out/wont stand out if compared to JC friends). Worse is they think they justify it by saying they know their interests, lying through their teeth, and say they're not as "competitive" as those who wanna go jc. Hypocrites much? Still say "street smart" and things like "i can go jc but i dont want"...

On the other hand if you get >21 for L1r5 or fail JC promos, i respect if you go poly yet never give up and do very well, as your choice doesn't reflect your attitude. You don't let grades don't define you and i applaud those who continue to improve and do better. This, are really the people that i respect.
