If letter says eligible for ESIS and you are applying to an independent secondary school, then confirm get.

If the letter states eligibility for ESIS, ie meet the cut off of 261, does it means that you definitely get it or still depends on the secondary school tscore ranking?

Sorry to be posting a stupid question. I am confused about how S1 Posting works.

Assuming Child A puts School ABC as 4th choice.

Child B puts School ABC as 1st choice.

Child A TSCORE is higher than Child B.

Will Child A be allocated a vacancy in school ABC first or child B?


Thanks

Assuming Child A can’t get into any of his first 3 choice, he will be considered BEFORE Child B for School ABC.

Higher scorer will always get to pick first.

Thanks zac_mum and floppy for your clarification.

+3 if you apply to a SAP school.

And check the eligibility letter if you actually do get the 3 points. In theory, a person can get a distinction in higher chinese but do not get the +3 if his t score is not within a certain percentage of the cohort.

where can I find if dd is eligible to get the points for higher Chinese? Not able to find from the result letter. Thanks.[/quote]Is stated in the eligibility letter, S1 Posting letter.

Merit before choice order.

So the higher scorer will get in first, regardless of his/her choice order.

Gets more complicated when it comes to affiliation.. what if affiliated student just meet cop puts 1st choice, and non affiliated student also just meet cop puts 2nd, who will get the slot? Affiliated cop is always lower than non affiliated but both fighting for the last slot

I think, this will never happen, because the affiliated students get in first, up to 80% of the total sec 1 cohort. Then the leftover 20% is allocated to non affiliated students. If affiliation students fill 65%, then the 35% will be allocated to non affiliated students. It is done serially, not in parallel. I think.
