JC Route

I’m praying that I get into RJC or NJC. The more realistic choice is NJC henceforth, placing it as my first 2 choices. Of course, the most likely result is that I’ll get into SAJC. I’m just trying my luck for the first 7 choices.
So I started a conversation with my cousin. She scolded me for putting RJC as my 3rd & 4th choice. (She’s from RJC) So, I told her I was going to beat her A Level results until she said that she had 8 distinctions. The maximum number of distinctions is 9 and I take CLB so that means I have 0 chance of beating her. What was I thinking?
