      NJC was having their admission talk in my son school last Friday. I was very surprise to hear from him that only the top 4 classes of the P6 attended the talk.


      Why not all P6 students is given the chance to listen? To me PSLE everyone is equal. What happen if my boy is not in one of the top class why is school also so realistic.
      At least, NJC still came to your son's school for admission talk. They didn't come to my school last year when I was in P6.
      wiimum:
      NJC cut off point is 259 for 2008. So they do not expect any Tom, Dick or Harry to apply.
      Last year, they took in 150 students for year 1 and about 1/2 already got in via DSA. Remaining vacancy was limited and therefore pushed up the COP.

        Hwa Chong & Nanyang Girl came to their school for the admission talk yesterday.


        Just hope that the rest of the classes have chance to listen too.

        My friend told me that her daughter (P6) last year (Top Sch) the sch expect a boy to score 270+ because he is alway top in standard since P1. But when the result released he only score 240++. That is PSLE every student has a fair chance.

        What happen if this his school top student is not from the A class, I really hope so. Hope the school get treat all kids equally.

        :oops:

          It is fair. Your son can still score 280+ in the PSLE and NJC will be more than willing to accept your son in. Your son can however snub NJC now.

            This is not only happening in top school. It is more common in neighbourhood schools too.

                Last year when my girl in P6, only the top 4 classes were being called to attend talks from IP sec schools conducted in their school. I think the school have some past historical results that make them do so. Based on last year results, true enough, those who could make it to the IP schools are those from the top 4 classes. Actually I also feel that all the classes should attend, not only the top 4.

                  If Bill Gates wants to hire software engineers for Mircosoft from NUS/NTU, do you think the schools will send all or the top few for interview?

                    Don’t these schools realise thaty DSA is not just for the academically inclined? There are those who do sports/music who may not be in the best 4 classes. Anyway, hope their parents are wise enough to know the opportunity is there whether they attend the talk or not.

                      SOTA came to my girl's school recently and I think the whole level went for the talk conducted in the hall.


                      Alas, when the speaker asked who wanted the form, my girl didn't go out to get it. I asked why and she said there were too many students blocking and she found it cumbersome to go through all the \"obstacles\" just to get the form from speaker in front. 😐
