      A daddy with boy getting AL7(M), staying in CCK area..

      Any advise if we try following options? (using 2020 indicative COP)
      1. HCI : 7(M)
      2. ACS(I) IP : 7
      3. RVHS : 9(D)
      4. ACS(I) EXP : 9
      5. BP Gov High : 11
      6. Nan Hua High : 11(D)

      What would the risk of RVHS as fallback plan in 3rd choice for AL7(M)? Little devil kind of whispering to me that there is small risk, given how many AL4/5/6 out there. Should we bump RVHS to 2nd choice?

      BP Gov High & Nan Hua High are toss up, either can be 5th or 6th, as they are just plan C, and confidence level is high.
      Hi and congrats. Personally, with 7(M) I think RVHS is quite safe (M will help in the queuing despite being 3rd choice). Maybe not bulletproof (small risk as you say) but if you are also OK with 5th and 6th choice should something strange happen I would still suggest leaving 1st and 2nd choice as is. Good luck!

        My girl has AL6M, am thinking of this order:


        1. RGS (COP = 6)
        2. NYG (COP = 7M)
        3. St Nick IP (COP = 7M)
        4. NJC (COP = 7)
        5. SCGS (COP = šŸ˜Ž
        6. Dunman / Cedar Girl (COP = šŸ˜Ž

        She is only interested in RGS so though chance of balloting is high, I think should at least try. And I am prepared that NYG will also have no chance.

        Will she be safe for St Nick / NJC?

            Any of your child takes uniform as choice of school consideration?
            My DD said is important. :rotflmao:

            A very valid concern and important factor to take into consideration. You want to look nice in your uniform so that you can learn well šŸ˜„

            Not my child but my concern. šŸ˜‰

              Hi,


              My DD got AL7, and we are deciding between NJC and SCGS as the first choice.

              Any comments or experience to share with regards to the two schools? Especially for getting into a medical course in future?

              Thanks

                What about the badge? Like accessories, badges are also aesthetically impt. šŸ˜‚[/quote]Of course! And the hair accessories colour and the jacket colour. Some schools allow only specific colours. Nanhua and MGS even dictate the hair style. So if you prefer pony tail, please choose another school.

                  Same dilemma as myself and my daughter. Her dream school is RGS.

                  From what I understand from the experts here, having a combined AL score of 6 will most likely mean a high chance of undergoing the ballot for RGS. So in order to make the odds in our favor, we have to put RGS as first choice.

                  NYGH will also be our 2nd choice too! :xedfingers:

                    Hi all, my girl got AL5M, if we put RGS as her first choice will it be safe? Been hearing alot of AL4s already. If AL5, is there a chance for balloting? Or is there a good chance she will get in?

                        High chance of getting in, safe. I believe ballot would happen for AL6. All the best and hope your girl gets her ideal choice.
