My option for choices:

Any opinions?

peasants, how did your dc do? :xedfingers: can go to dream school?

Just reach home from work, missed out all the drama! But yes, dd2 can go dream school with subsidies. The latter is pretty much needed but unexpected cos I thought the cut off is higher. Sibei Heng.

Congrats!! :rahrah: ESIS cut off is 260, right?[/quote]
my dd has ESIS at 258

Nan Chiau High School SAP (co-ed) – 243
Chung Cheng High School (Yishun) (co-ed) – 238
Yishun Town Secondary School (co-ed) – 235
Based on the above, I doubt you will receive a posting that's beyond the 4th choice.

[NJCMGS]

DS has scored 254

What would be chances for ACS (I) IB?

Any feedback on SJI (IB program) is also welcome!
Many thanks

DD has 254 cutoff. Can please provide suggestions on our choices below?

1. NJC (256)
2. Cedar IP (254)
3. Temasek JC (249)
4. ?
5. ?
6. ?
Is it safe to opt for NJC and cedar as first and second choices? If she is not eligible for both, will she surely get into Temasek JC?
Thank you!

Dear Parents,

DHS traditionally has a higher COP than CGSS. Putting it after CGSS is kinda meaningless since if you get CGSS, DHS is redundant; if you don't get CGSS, you are unlikely to get DHS as well.
You should consider SCGS as your no. 3 choice after DHS/CGSS.

Therefore:
1. DHS
2. CGSS
3. SCGS
4. TJC
5. Cedar O
6. NCHS

4 IP choices out of 6 (with 2 of them nearly bao jiak) is not considered 'limited choices' for IP stream :scratchhead:

DHS higher COP is because the student can use the HCL points. So if let's say dhs cut off is 256 while cedar is 254. The student with 253 and a distinction in hcl can get into DHS but cannot get into cedar since cedar doesn't take the HCL points into account:) So it is erroneous to say if can't get into cedar, unlikely to get into DHS.

People should get over this 'safe' 'not safe' 'wasted' idea of making your choices.

It is posting based on their detailed aggregate scores in the PSLE that extend to decimal points.
Merit comes before choices.
