Raffles Institution (Year 1-4)

doodley:
So for uni application, what exactly do they look for really? Does it all boils down to perfect As? Do they look at mainly results from Year 5 and 6 or the entire 6 years?
When your DC is applying to uni, maybe u can let us know whether the raffles diploma is useful. As far as I know some of the unis mentioned above, they never ask for the raffles diploma. Yes, they do know the reputation of raffles, but no they don't really bother if u have a Rd with distinction or no Rd. -
Depends on which Uni which country u apply to

Local unis: Barring courses which require test/interview (Med/Dent/Law) or through DA, it is largely based on the grades -> UAS. For early admissions, conditional admission is given based on prelims grades, but at the end, they still want your A level grades.

Top UK unis:
For boys going to NS, you can only apply when you are in NS, the year before you intend to matriculate. So they will apply with actual A level grades.
Girls with no gap year will have to apply in JC2 with predicted grades which is calculated based on some unknown formula taking into account performance during CTs/promos/prelims.
Most courses require 3As in relevant subjects. In addition a personal statement is required. The personal statement is the one that makes or breaks.
I don't know about US and Oxbridge. -
Anyone went for last Friday’s Year 3 subject selection and RA talk?

On the field or in the class they are honest kids. Personal integrity is priceless. There are also students requesting the teachers to reduce their marks and hence gpa due to teachers' error20 May 2016 ST headline 'Valencia players surprise Jonathan Chua, RI footballer who turned down penalty'

We bought tights for the 15km hiking during SL camp next week. Can any seniors advise whether it is supposed to be worn over underwear or without underwear?

Depends on your tights if there’s any inner linings…then no need underwear
