I was just about to post a new thread about RP when I saw this. Just got a few questions I wanted to ask about RP.

I have a friend who is in RP, but she wants to go out and go somewhere else. Apparently, it is said that the RP diploma ranks lowest among all the other polys and that she'd want to go to another poly. I didn't understand it when she told me, but then I tried to find out more.

For some reason, the COP for RP courses are among the highest among all the poly courses. I can't help but notice that the COP for 23 out of the 29 courses offered is 26. The lowest is 18, and the other 5 are either 20, 22 or 23. In comparison, TP offers 42 courses, and the highest COP is 23. SP offers 43 courses, and COP is 23 also.

One stark comparison I would like to point out is the entry for Biomedical Sciences. Cut-off for SP is 9, for TP is 13 but it's 23 for RP. I would think that it's a huge difference for the same course. The same huge point gap can also be seen in other courses like Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical Science, Aerospace, Information Technology and possible some other courses. For the examples that I have mentioned, the COP for other polys are ard mid-teens while it's 26 for RP (all 4 courses). Surely there must be a reason for this?

I am not trying to argue that RP is a bad poly. I would just like to know how come there is such a big difference between the polys. I think that it won't be fair if a student spends 3 yrs getting a diploma in RP, but when they try to apply for jobs, they are placed at the bottom of the list just because they hold an RP diploma instead of say, an SP or TP diploma. If there're any RP graduates here, it would be great to get some opinion, and maybe shed some truth on this.
