      DD got CO for NYGH and RGS. MGS waitlisted her. Which school should she choose?
      Which domain did your DD DSA in? These two schools are so different, I would have thought most will either like one or the other. My DD has got a couple of choices too, but nothing can persuade her not to choose RGS.

          I know of someone who got a CO from NYGH , she applied for both RGS and NYGH. Her DD prefers RGS, she tells her mum she actually prefers RGS but if she gives up on the CO and if doesn’t get in RGS, she loses both. headache too… She likes NYGH but has a little more preference over RGS. Think better to ask the kid first then deciding for her.

            I was from RGS. My DD last year got CO from both NYGH and RGS. I really wanted her to go RGS but she chose NYGH in the end. Now in hindsight, I am really glad she had the maturity to choose the school that fits her best.


            Both are very good schools. However, the culture, the curriculum emphasis, the values emphasis, all can be very different. You know your DD best, her character and the type of en environment she thrives best in. Help her to make the best choice.

                Yeah I agree. While I liked RGS, my girls like NYGH so best to listen to the kids. Both schools are very good so it’s a matter of school fit for the girls.

                  SIt your daughters down and ask whet they like/dislike. Both are good schools, do just go with their preferences unless you think they are silly reasons.

                    If there is a preference, the choice is clear. It is when there is no strong preference that makes the choice really difficult (because both schools are different yet both are good schools). 😂


                    My dd and I had a tough time choosing between the schools too. We listed down and weighed the likes (and dislikes) of each school, including culture, values, promotion criteria, educational philosophy, CCAs, subjects combi, JC, distance, parental/peer support, etc. In short, we liked MGS for its IB program, NYGH for its chinese/bilingual emphasis, and RGS for its culture of excellence and pupil development. We finally decided on the school that we believe can bring the best out of her. 🙏 Not an easy decision, but we are glad we made the right decision for her and with her.
