if my t-score is two marks lesser than the cut-off marks of a school, can I still apply and have a chance to get into the school?

Hi ,

Need advise . My girl got 266 + 3 for her psle . She wanted to go RGS as many of her friends are putting it as 1st choice but we are concern about the stress level after hearing much from friends . We are considering MGS or Cedar Girls . Any advise ? Is it really do stressful in RGS?

Her score is definitely quite a few marks higher than RGS COP. Not border line case. You shall let her go as she wants. Have faith in your child!! :rahrah:

students scored 258 also got EEIS scholarship. normally, it is like 260++.
my child's tuition teacher sent me this screenshot. one of her students scored 272+3. it is the 2nd highest of a very good girl school.

So i suppose the score is lower this year.

EEIS is 260 this year. True, it's slightly lower than last year but most school's COP is unlikely to shift by much. That said, any movement within + - 2 points is fairly usual. So a drop of 2 points for COP is always possible.

Wow, 2010 onwards, COP for RGS is like go lower than NYGH ever since. Wonder what really happened.

bcz fewer spots left after the girls from NYPS taking the spots via affiliation.
RGS is still better in standard in my opinion. no offense.

[quote=\"yap_susan\"]Hi seeking consult.

Daughter is applying for secondary schools. 3 to 6 choices are almost just toggling up and down.
1 to 2 is a big headache. She wants a distanced school. We put that as first choice for her. Yet second choice is about few bus stops away. The merit point is higher than first choice. Do we put merit or choice first?

Thanks for your thoughts.

1st choice how many points from cop?

First choice she is 6 points above.
Second choice she is exact.[/quote]I would brainwash her till she agree to put the second option (nearer and higher cop but still meet) as first choice, and her prefer distance school as 2nd choice (6 pts above cop) as backup. I think you are stuck due to her persistent. Sometimes, it take a little logical talk. I just did to convert dd2 mind to forsake a Chinese school. Take note I won't know what school you choose. The risk is the available vacancy of your second choice might reduce by the time it come to you, assuming the first choice can't make it. So you have to consider whether your 2nd choice is a popular school or not.
