DD 259+2. Still undecided between St Nicks IP vs MGS IB. We recce schools distances yesterday by taking MRT/buses. St Nicks has a Mayflower MRT opening soon which makes it easier to transfer 2 mrt lines (short distance) and we are staying around vicinity of Lor Chuan/Braddell. MGS also takes 2 mrt lines to get. I am more in favour of St nicks due to closer proximity but DD seems more interested in MGS. To be honest, i think getting to MGS in BT is a hassle should I need to fetch her (car) on some days. Trying not to force a decision on DD but it seems rather logical to choose St nicks. Any thots from anyone?

What is the reason for her being more interested in mgs? Is she more interested in mgs because of its IB or something else (like I really loved their library and swimming pool)?

Last year, Maris Stella's COP increased by 2 points which made it 239. Assuming the worst case that could occur which is, it's COP increases by 5 points(which is usually the max a school's COP will increases), they would still accept your son. So no worries! IMHO, I think this year there are less students getting better score.

Maris Stella's COP increased from 235 a few years ago to 239 last year which is the highest. I don't think it will increase to 244 drastically. It is a very good SAP school, students are disciplined, polite and cultural enriched, the O level results are excellent as well. You have very very high chance to get in, put it in 1st choice and go for it!

Hi, my son has PSLE score of 244. Is the chance of going Maris Stella high this year ? (COP was 239 last year). Does COP swing up or down by a lot ? considering this year seems to have more students getting better score.

But heard the new principal quite driven type.
Which explains the recent increase in their cop.
