Some people just can't get over with itto those tht didnt get it, hope u will get over it, yes, they got it, but it doesnt mean they r better than u or wut, so wut they hav good cocu, so wut they hav good result, u live ur own life, start planning for college, after tht u will realise, networking, socializing, n other criteria r more important when starting to work to those tht didnt get it, n choose to whine here, telling others how u earn ur own money to study, telling others how u r better than those tht get jpa, well, good for u. if thts the case, u shud start working, earning big money, n stop browsing the net for nth kthxbai |

QUOTE(lovelyduckling @ May 17 2009, 03:07 AM) It's luck. Many top scorers who did better (with more As) failed to get the scolarships. Instead, it was those who did not that excellent, got the offer. There are also cases of kids with single parents getting turned down. I think the interviewing part has led to the outcome of failing to get the scholarship for most student with good results.Always bear in mind, it's just SPM...there's still a long way ahead of u .Don't gloat over the success too early(esp u TS who irked me the most) Getting scholarship isn't about who is rich or poor it's giving to students that excel in their studies as a reward. TO be fair you have to treat all the good students equally regardless of their family background. Try to think the other way round if a good family background student got 16As in SPM then a less appealing family background student got 8As in SPM the scholarship went to the less appealing one do you call this fair? TS you are really fortunate to get offered by JPA despite your results i understand why lovelyduckling gets irritated by you. Cheerz! QUOTE(lazyguy91 @ May 17 2009, 02:41 PM) Offer letter will be out by next week. Check the website. |

QUOTE(chrishung @ May 17 2009, 08:43 PM) Sure you have to treat all good students equally but when you have limited resources how do you divide the cake? By kicking out rich students or students who scored less As? The point is rich students can still get an education without a scholarship while poor students cannot. If the gov have unlimited budget I'm sure they will gladly reward all students regardless of family income. Limited resources of course you got to give the chance to those that excels 1st. What's the point of giving a scholarship to a 7As person but then ditching the 13As person because he is rich. Will you divide a larger portion of your cake to those fat and eat alot but less productive people or those that are hardworking and productive? Don't always use the word POOR as an excuse you should be more privileged in getting a scholarship to oversea. The rich aren't aliens they are also part of the community they deserved the government's reward too. |

QUOTE(chrishung @ May 18 2009, 10:56 AM) Doh! Of course you give to the poor who actually excels in their study. But then in your argument you set the standard of "excellent" achievement as having as many As as possible. If I took only 9 subjects and get all As would I be a "lousy" student compared to the ones who got a gazillion As? My argument is that if there are no poor students that are really deserving then by all means give to the rich ones. I didn't CATEGORIZE the poor as fat I am giving an example to the CAKE thingy that you mentioned. Tell me then if you have 50+50 rich and poor student but only scholarship for 50, how do you give out the scholarship assuming they get the same number of As? And how can you categorize the poor as fat and eating a lot when in reality they dont eat much? Do you realize that the fact that they are poor may be the reason why some couldn't achieve academically or take as many subjects as the rich? Gee, maybe Uncle Sam should ditch out some stimulus fund to Berkshire Hathaway coz you know, they are so successful and they deserve reward. Or maybe governments should reduce income tax for the rich coz you know......they deserve it. I didn't set a BENCHMARK of excellence as stated I made an example of comparison. I didn't say the government has to reduce or increase any shit tax on them what I am stressing out is totally educational scholarship matters. What has taxing rich people to do with scholarships? Read what I wrote again in previous post. You have problem understanding what I wrote. Others can understand so I believe it's not my problem. What I am trying to explain is that students that excel in academic results should be treated equally regardless of their family background. 50+50 even though results are same Interview & Co-co activities have to be taken into consideration too. Of course results come 1st then evaluate other criteria that I have mentioned. Your statement is saying like RICH PEOPLE should not be given care. Yes the fact is that they have all the money in the world to do what they want but then who are you to judge whether they deserve this or that? Others also can say the poor don't deserve the help why shouldn't they work for it? You have to learn to see the whole scenario without being interfered by MONEY & POLITICS. My 2cents not to provoke any fire or whatsoever controversy. Cheerz!! |
