PSLE COP 2010

[Ler]

I am a bit of confused to chose which school for my dd as she has given confirmed offer from methodist and sota under music. Any expectise who daughter has been through this two school, can highlight the difference which school i should for my daughter. Advise needed.

SOTA is for those 'die-hard' to do career in music & arts etc

MGS is still mainstream school with music elective, where you can do A level or IB (after merging with ACSI).....and you are not tied down to music forever

Also understand that if want to transfer from SOTA to mainstream school, has to retain one year, as SOTA main focus is not academic, even though they do 'normal subjects'....but curriculum is geared towards performance etc

I have a friend who is in SOTA. She mentioned that only if you are very

interested in the arts scene and have a talent for it, then should you consider

joining it. Some of her classmates who are not 100% sure if they want to

carve out a career in the arts are those who are now struggling in classes.

It depends on the performance of your cohort because the published COP is for the year before. Last year's COP for many schools dropped because it was a tough PSLE. This year's PSLE being generally easy, I expect COPs to rise at a lot of schools. So, if you're looking at last year's COP as a gauge, then no, I don't think you will be able to get in if you score 2-3 points less than 2009's COP.

Last year's cohort has 1-3 bonus points from HMT but not this year and so the SAP school's COP may still remain about the same as last year.
