Dear Abachee and Teacher Aaron
Having read all of your posts, I would really appreciate if you can help share your thoughts on my DS’ intended choice of schools. His score is 252+2.
ACS(I) - IB
RVHS
Victoria (IP)
Catholic High (IP)
SJI (IB)
What do you think of the choices and the order. Also do you think we should also put ACS(I) O level just in case?
Appreciate your thoughts please.
ACS(I) IB would be borderline. Depends on this year’s COP movement. RVHS should be quite safe. If you don’t get ACS you are most likely to get RVHS.
Thank you so much for your thoughts! Appreciate it! Between Victoria and RV, would u put RV ahead of Victoria? Or is Victoria actually a better school for A levels? Thanks so much again! -

Thanks so much again![/quote]Both are very good schools. I can't say one is better than the other. If you are nearer to RVHS, I think it is better to go RVHS, unless you have issues with the more Chinese culture of the school, since it is a SAP school.

Yes mother tongue is Chinese.
I think not very possible to get 269 with 2 A stars, 1 A and 1 B
Yes, I also feel it is very unlikely. Just wonder why the mom wants to mislead us . :?
For reference, here are different aggregate scores from my own students and a reliable source for 2 A stars and 2 As: 238, 247, 254
How likely is 2 A stars, 1 A and 1 B able to achieve 269? I believe very unlikely.[/quote]
My son scored 252+1, with 2 A star and 2 A. -
Dear teacher Aaron / anyone parent has a better idea …

Just a note.... If you really want cedar, then why don't you put cedar o level as 2nd choice?if can't get in, very good chance to appeal since both cedar are 1st and 2nd choices.[/quote]Sorry it should be No.3 cedar girls and No. 4 singapore Chinese girls.
Should be ok. Wish you the best!whitecarrotcake:
