btw, in case not able to get the 1st choice, can still 'apeal' or not?[/quote]I think there's a std procedure for appeals which should be on the stamford portal.naggo-nitemare:
[quote=\"jtoh\"]firefly, I hope your son gets his first choice too. I'm sure he will.
From what i gather from my DS' n his classmates' experiences, not getting 1st choice is almost unheard of. The school does try its best to meet all choice requests. -
Can a student with overall GPA 3.2 select 2 sciences, 1 humanities and 3rd lang under the 9-subject combination? TIA.

Should be allowed. GPA3.2 can do 9 subject combi, including the one u mentioned. -
5 compulsory subjects - English, HMT/MT, Math 1, Math 2, Social Studies.
GPA 3.6 & above - Can take 5 additional subjects (Total 10 subjects).
GPA 3.2 & above - Can take 4 additional subjects (Total 9 subjects).
Below GPA 3.2 - Can only take 3 additional subjects (Total 8 subjects).
Subject combination must include at least 1 Humanity (History, Geography, Literature), and only 1 Elective (MEP, AEP, CEP, 3rd Lang). Elective is only applicable to the 9th or 10th subject. -
Thank you, naggo -nitemare and firefly.
To offer 3rd Lang in year 3, besides the GPA of at least 3.2, is there any other entry criteria like need to have A or A+ grade for Year 2 3rd Lang subject ? -
Anyone has any idea how many classes do they cater for each combination?

3rd Lang is graded like all other subjects (GPA 4.0, 3.6, 3.2...). Don't think there is any minimum criteria for 3rd Lang in Year-3. However, if the child has not been doing well in 3rd Lang, it is advisable to drop it in Year-3, as it may add to the heavy workload expected in Year-3..
Just my opinion.. -
My son is in year 1. He wishes to better understand the criteria for his preferred subject combination and work hard for it next year.
