TIA[/quote]

If your niece prefers girls' schools, I would recommend: CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent (238), CHIJ St. Joseph's Convent (237), Paya Lebar Methodist Girls' School (Secondary) (237), Tanjong Katong Girls' School (237), Geylang Methodist School (Secondary) (231).

If your niece prefers co-ed schools, I would recommend: Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Secondary School (238), Presbyterian High School (236), Zhonghua Secondary School (236), Temasek Secondary School (235), Tanjong Katong Secondary School (234), Xinmin Secondary School (234).

Hope this helps!

Thanks. Yes, Victoria will be far from our place. NJC and SJI are perhaps the options left for IP.
Any inputs on whether the COP for ACS(I) IB going to be higher or lower than 256 this year?

Frankly, that’s an impossible question to answer.
Just apply and hope for the best.

oh, it will depend on the no. of applicants which will determine if COP is higher / lower than 256? Last year it was 256.

[quote=Cars2 post_id=2003790 time=1606275948 user_id=45391]What is the COP for EEIS and SAP schools this year?

If eligible for ESIS will be stated on result slip. Last year hovers around 261/262?

Hi Hendon, thanks for the reply. I didnt know much on the other school. I only have a friend DD comment on this. I will check out more on SJI.
I prefer no O-Level, but ok with A-level or IB.
If need O-level, want to find the school can have affliated JC.

If affiliation to JC is important, I would pick VS over ACS O or CHS O for its affiliation to VJC,
location notwithstanding.

Thanks. But VJC is really too far

Thinking the choices as below
1) RVHS 253
2) Catholic high IP 252
3) ACS I O level 252
4) SJI IB 251
5) Catholic high O level 249
6) Fairfield 243
Or Nan Hua high 246

Considering No O-level, distance from Jurong, affiliation with JC, reputation of school.

Any advice?

Hello! I have an aggregate score of 240 , and want to go to Bukit Panjang Government High , which Cut-off point is 4 marks higher. Is there any chance that it will drop to 240? Also for Nanhua , is there any chance that I ( or my Friend with a score of 241 )can go in , for it has a cut off point of 246. And if possible, my Friend and I would also want to try out for Swiss Cottage , which has a cop of 242. What are the chances that we can end up in Nanhua Or Swiss Cottage together?

I dun want to give you false hope. BPGHS and Nanhua very unlikely, and Swiss Cottage quite low chance. You can put them in the first three choices but make sure 4th n 5th are achievable (Commonwealth, Fuhua, Clementi Town, Kranji) and choose a 22X school for 6th as safety net.

Any advice?[/quote]RV is ideal to satisfy your requirements but 251+2 is marginal n might not get in. If willing to accept long commute so as to skip O level exam, can put catholic high IP n sji IP as 2nd n 3rd choices.

[horizons1]

@marcolisa ... Just wondering what is the reason you are ok with O levels in an affiliated school. AFAIK there are no bonus points for affiliated secondary school for IB/ A levels admissions.
