My view on indicative COP

RI : 259
RGS : 259
HCI : 256 ( can leverage on HMT 3 points max - Min COP will be 253 )
NYGH : 261 ( can leverage on HMT 3 points max - Min COP will be 258 )

On side note and own opinion, both RGS and RI are the cream of the top as compared to the rest. No affiliation with pri schs and no HMT to leverage on. Kudos to these kids who made it thru their own merits !

Do you mean to say that those kids using HMT do not make it to NYGH and HCI thru their own merit?
Everyone has their preference so pls do not discredit the kids who mAke it to NYGH and HCI thru their own merit too! Not everyone wants to go to the RI schools!!!

Why are u so worked up? :siao:

Did I explicitly say that that NYGH and HCI do NOT make it on their own merits? I just put in my opinion here to view that the requirements from RI/RGS are higher. Simple as that !

Don't put words into one's mouth and simply put in !!! to put down RI schs.[/quote]

Worked up? Not at all . Look who tried to put down NYGH & HCI :siao: ? I fully respect all the kids who make it to the schools of their preference based on their 'own merit'.[/quote]

Claiming not to be worked up..and sending such a note with !!! :rotflmao:

When there is affiliation and HMT to leverage on, it may be easier to get in to these schs. Bear in mind, I do not put down these schs. Just a fact that with HMT, COP for HCI / NYGH looks as if they are higher than RI / RGS. If HMT is removed totally, COP will obviously be lower for HCI / NYGH.[/quote]

Well, !!! was simply to emphasize the fact that not everyone wants to go to RI schools.

Its not about COP, its about kids making it to school 'thru their own merits'.
Whether there is leverage on HMT or not, all kids who made it to their preferred school made it thru their own merit. Bear in mind that not all who made it to NYGH or HCI has HMT to leverage on, and even if there is leverage on HMT, they are still entering the sch 'thru their own merit'.

'Kudos to all kids who made it thru their own merit', with or without HMT!

If the earliest SMS come in around 6+ am, think some will wake up earlier 5+ am, to wait for SMS
