Editor: Tan Ying Yin, how were your results all along in Sec Sch and also for Pri Sch?
I was formally from Geylang Methodist Primary School and Geylang Methodist Secondary School under Express Stream Academic. My results were quite average when I was in Primary school and when I'm in Secondary School, my grades improved a little and dropped back to average when I was in the upper secondary, mainly because I didn't like the subjects I'm studying at that time. Luckily, I managed to pass my O levels and made it to a Polytechnic.
Editor: What were the criteria you considered during the Joint Admission Exercise? How was the process and how did you arrive at a decision?
I did not consider myself to choose an IT course in the first place as my interest was in Business and Arts. So during JAE, the first 8 courses that I have choosen is all related to Business and Arts and the rest are IT. However, when the results were out, I was not posted to any courses at all! A close friend of mine was posted to MWC and was thinking about re-appealing. Thus, I followed her to TP to look for an advice. Our current lecturer attended to us, and provide us with additional information about the course. After giving some thought, my friend and I decided to chose this course!

Editor: What are three things you like/enjoy about Diploma in MWC?
The three things I enjoy about MWC is programming, the CDS (Cross-Disciplinary Subjects) offered and the people in TP! I know alot of people out there hates programming and are influencing others not to take IT. It is so not true! Programming is so fun to learn! Every time when I managed to solve something difficult in programming, I will feel a great sense of satisfaction and the urge to improve even more! Even though I could not get into the course I want to be in initially, the CDS offered by TP allows me to do so. I took up Entrepreneur, Singapore Law and Psychology during the past semesters in TP and they were great! In TP, we play hard and study smart. The people in TP are so fun to mix with!
Editor: Who do you think is suitable to take Diploma in MWC?
Anyone! Our course involves mainly on mobile and wireless technologies. For example, by using your mobile phone, you can access to the internet by Wi-fi, book tickets, etc. They works just like a portable computer. Can't you see that the world is getting more and more dependent on mobile and wireless technologies. Thus, we believed that the furture belongs to the wireless world!
Editor: Why do you think Diploma in MWC is a good choice to consider?
It is challenging and never fails to excite you on how technologies are so powerful nowadays. I never regret coming to this course at all!
Editor :What advice do you have for ‘O’ level school leavers who are going to make their selection soon?
If you did not managed to get into the course you wanted, do not be downhearted. Try to give yourself more options to consider.Studying in MWC has changed me, to be a more responsible and a studious person. Even if you cannot get into the course you are interested in, try to be optimistic! For example, I wan to be an entrepreneur in the future, although I cannot get to any business course, MWC and the CDS which I have taken are able to teach me relevant information about business, so that in the future I can manage my business better!
