what are the chances for top 5% get into RI?

RI Open house today :
Q & A :
someone asked P -
\"how many places left available for JAE students, after minus off the IP (RI boys + RGS girls) from Y4, entering into Y5 ? \"

Total : 1200 \"A\" level students, in RI

reply : around 250 will be admitted, from JAE (O level Joint Admission exercise)

Qn 2
Someone else asked P -
\"Do they place JAE students together with IP students, in the same class, or separate them : meaning IP students go Y5 IP class, while JAE students go Y5 JAE class ?\"

reply :-
Classes are grouped, according to the Subject combination that Y5 students take : IP students mixed together with JAE students, for the same Subject combination.

Qn 3
another parent asked P -
\"For \"A\" level Sciences :
H2 Chemistry is compulsory.
So, how many do H2 Physics, how many do H2 Biology ?\"

reply :-
500 take H2 Physics, another 500 take H2 Biology.
H2 Chemistry is common subject, for those taking Physics or Bio.

Qn 4
One student asked P -
\"I want to do 5 subjects, want to take 5 H2 subjects instead of 4 H2 subjects, because I really want to do Triple Science (pure Physics, pure Chem, pure Bio). Is this allowed ? \"

reply :-
No more Triple Science allowed in RI, because need one contrasting Arts subject.

Chemistry is compulsory.
Either take Chemistry with Physics, or Chemistry with Bio.

4 H2 is already a heavy subjection combination. We want our students to be able to cope, academically, because you still have Cca to take care of.

Qn 5
One student asked P -
\"I understand that RI take in JAE students, with 3 points. I have 4 points. Can I still apply ? What is my chance like ? \"

reply :-
You may still apply. We do consider appeal cases, looking into your Talent, your Cca background, any leadership post that you had taken up, before.

Qn 6
One parent asked -
\"About 250 places left for JAE students is not a lot, considering there are Total 1200 A level students. May we know roughly how many students from JAE actually applied RI, based on past recent years ? \"

reply -
Sorry, we can't disclose the figure, because direction from Moe.

For students who wish to appeal -
It will depend on the number of vacancies left, and how competitive the batch is. If that particular year not so many apply RI, then 4 points appeal may still enter, depend on the batch.

Should be much less than 400. Some choped by DSA some reserved for CCA or sport leaders with some brains to appeal. So not much room left. :scared:

Unlike secondary school cca dsa, jc dsa is quite exclusive. you have to be very good to dsa sports. the number is very small.

[turnthisup]

May I know whether if there is anyone who got posted to a JC under arts stream but took sci stream subjects when choosing his/her subject combination?

DD's friend with ESIP 8-4=4.[/quote]ok ok .... so it seems the odds are not so good this year. but those whom i knew got esip and put ri as 1st choice last year got in.
you'll have to try to know .... i know one kid thought she'll never get into ri with 4 but still put as first choice. she got in. 3 points is for science. I think not all will opt for science right?

Don't think it's possible. Unless you're successful in appealing to transfer to Science stream.
