Is IB \"Tuition-proof\"?


An old but interesting article.

For girls, after O level, besides ACSI, which other IBJC for year 5 & 6, can they go ?

Not a JC, I think. (ACSI is also not a JC). SJI is the only other place I can think of besides international schools.

SOTA, but admission at year 5 is only via Film and Theatre. If successful, they will also pursue the IBDP.

Yes, SOTA offers IB.
Heard that SOTA emphasizes a lot on academics compared to last time.

Hi, someone told me that 90 rp can be ‘equated’ to IB 45 points, 87.5 rp to IB 44 points, 85 rp to IB 43 points. Is this true?

Dear Parents,


Any idea where to get the IB COP to local university courses? I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Appreciate any advice. Thank you

We're a family living overseas now and my kids are in Int'l schools. Eldest will be finishing his IB diploma in 2yrs' time and we want to find out how well accepted is it in local unis. I believe the first few batches of IB students from the local schools would have graduated already. Could anyone here, be it student or parent, please share how's the acceptance rate and requirements by the local unis?


:thankyou:

Hi Kiwi68 and dear other parents, I know this is an old thread, but I am in the same shoes you were then. My eldest graduating with her IB diploma next year. Predicted score 40. What is her chances of getting to NUS, NTU or SMU with that score for Engineering or Maths/Science degree. Any possibility of getting scholarship ? Many thanks in advance.
