hello everyone! I dae-ed into republic poly’s biomedical science during phase 2. I haven’t gotten any email from rp or any updates to my application status on rp’s DAE website. My application status on RP’s DAE website is “In-Progress”. Anyone else applying to RP biomed or has had similar experiences?

For context: i had an eae offer to common ict in tp which got revoked cus i got 27 pts and a D7 for comb sci, my jae offer to IT apps dev in ite was accepted, i tried applying to IT courses in tp through dae but was also unsucessful, im still waiting for the dae outcome from rp and honestly im very lost on what to do. If i get rejected from rp as well, should i try retaking o levels? or shld i just finish the 2 years in higher nitec.

Hey guys so I'm just wondering if there is a dateline to complete the configuration of the laptop since I need to configure my laptop and set up an RP account BEFORE submitting the GIRO application stuffs and the diploma student concession card application. But all I know is that I need to complete the diploma student concession card application between 18-22 March so any RP students know if there is a dateline for the configuration of laptop or do I just need to get it configured before…

I wanna know the general poly life for fun, but it'd be nice to know more especially about RP. I'm most likely looking at joining RP at the moment for Information Technology course(it might change depending on any offer from other poly). Is there anything I'd have to look forward to? how are breaks during the day and classes? Most importantly, are the toilets good? Do let me know!!
