There’s a separate letter that came with the results, in an envelope. In there are the details of DSA, ESIS, HMT, 3rd language eligibility, etc. I didn’t know as well and didn’t open up till later.

Yeah, my DS' letter doesn't have HMT, not that he'd want to pursue it There are other categories he can choose from but it's a bit disappointing that he cannot pick 2 languages from the same category.

Assuming this year’s COP remains the same as last year’s, and your top 3 choices are SCGS IP, SCGS O and MGS O, I think the chances of your daughter getting in the above 3 are slim. For your 4th choice, pick one with COP 9 or 10.

Based on last year’s experience, most who are on COP borderline got balloted out due to significantly more applicants than vacancies. Really depends on one’s luck. I have a feeling MGS IB will move up by 1pt and this may indirectly cause MGS O level to be pushed up by 1pt too.

Maybe you can update us about your DD’s sec 1 posting result. We will cheer for you

Thanks. As we cannot go to SAP schools, our choices at AL8 is limited.
I could choose Cedar O-, but the school is far-far away from home and doesn't make sense.
Last 2 choices are Swiss cottage (stone throw distance from home) and Bukit Panjang.
Let us hope for the best.

Any statistics about balloting (among SC?)
Also, most schools have a process for appealing. How it works out (if we get balloted out and still trying through appeal)?

For my boy, where he is going, I think no choice need to take HMT. But what’s the criteria to get the option for HMT?
Oh I didn’t noticed that as well. Do u know if they can drop out anytime, 3rd language.

Does anyone know what is the cop for ESIS this year?

Hi and congrats! Choices are safe; #5 and #6 will definitely catch him.

I believe last year SJI IB balloted at first choice. Up to you whether to leave it in the #2 spot or remove and move everything else up a spot. I am not sure whether TJC ballot at first choice or something later. Also should have a decent shot at VS IP, in which case nothing else will matter. Good luck!

How to find out if the school balloted at first choice? Is the stats available somewhere? That will help alot of kids and parents to make that choice decision.

The tiered discount is outdated & was changed to $30 regardless of score. There was a report on the controversial issue in the news:

Aiyoh! I thought it was still valid. I guess haidilao wanted to avoid a pr disaster.

Anyway must spend $150 first then get $30 off. I’d rather go eat elsewhere (and we did).
