RGS or NYGH?

My daughter scored 262 + 3 and I am wondering does she stand a good chance to enter RGS or NYGH? If she does, should her 1st choice be RGS or NYGH? Please advise. Tks:D

Which one does your daughter prefer (since both are good schools)?
Best to choose what she likes since she will be there for a few years.

If its me, I'll go for RGS (no offence to NYGH. just a personal preference i guess)

I have a fair share of friends from RGS - they are really nice girls - not snobbish - but they do speak their minds so maybe they get \"miscontrued as being snobbish\"?
My mom was from RGS - not snobbish too

You see..I say \"many\", I didn't say \"most\". RJC was created in 1982(?), that is not many years after HCJC, there were a fair share of many years that HCJC is the top JC too.

At least quite a number of HCJC's president scholars were RGS's alumni.

What's your definition of many?

maybe 20 out of the entire cohort of 400 ?

you are trying to create an impression of a mass migration ...

You were right that HCJC was ranked the top JCs for many years, until RJC came about and it become top till IP started.

For the past 20-30 years, The Chinese High School and Nanyang Girls High School hardly produced more than 5 president scholars (total) but HCJC managed to produce one of the highest number of president scholars among all JCs. You go and figure where the students came from? It is not hard to think that at least a few came from schools like RGS and RI.

For me, if there are 30-50 students, and they happened to be outstanding, it is sufficient to give an impression of \"many\".[/quote]HCJC produced the most President Scholars is because it is one of the olderest JC around as compared to RJC which only started in 1982.

You need to compare apples to apples. If you add up the number of years that RJC was RI Pre-U (predecessor), you would have realise that RJC/RI would be 1st lah.

The fact that there wasn't 30-50 as you claim...even that is not consider many out of a cohort of 400 for RI and 400 for RGS =800.

who you trying to kid ?

Hey I got 261+2 for my PSLE and I'm planning whether to go to RI or DHS, can somebody give me advice on where I should go? Yr advice will b greatly appreciated as my previous posts were all left unanswered thx

Your +2 does not work for RI.
Last year RI COP was 262, so it is high risk for you.
DHS COP was 260, you have a better chance since it is SAP school, then your score will be 263.

My daughter got 226 for psle. Is it wise for me to put my top 6 choice as


1. nan chiau
2. Chong Cheng
3.Katong Convent
4.Tkgs
5.Tks
6.tamasek?

Thanks

Sry, so just wanna ask again, is it wise for me to choose those choice of school?

Do you mind if I were to tell you the truth? :? The truth hurts, but I feel that you have made very unrealistic choices based on your score of 226, unless of course, there was a typo error and you had 236 instead of 226. I am assuming no typo error and that your score is 226.

My reasons - will touch on a school by school basis :

Nan Chiau - COP 231 but you have 226. I know that Nan Chiau is becoming a SAP school soon, but I am not sure if the HMT points takes effect with this year's PSLE cohort, but EVEN if they do take that into consideration, your enhanced T-score of 228 is a bit off from Nan Chiau's 231.

CCHM - COP 236, even higher than Nan Chiau's so if you cannot get into Nan Chiau, what are the chances of getting into CCHM with a higher COP than Nan Chiau?

CHIJ Katong - COP 228. You are 2 points off from CHIJ Katong's COP. CHIJ Katong is not a SAP school, so the 2 points HMT cannot be used, so you will be entering with 226. Okay, 226 is only 2 points off the COP, can try, but no guarantee.

TKGS - COP 233. Same senario as Nan Chiau and CCHM. If you cannot even get into Nan Chiau with a COP of 231, how is it possible to get into TKGS with 226, which is 7 points from their COP.

TKSS - COP 234. Same senario as NCH, CCHM and TKGS.

Temasek - COP 230. Again very unrealistic for a score of 226. Yes, Temasek's COP dropped from 232 to 230, but even with 230, you are 4 points off.

So my advice is to exercise your 6 choices VERY, VERY carefully! Do not anyhow dump and waste your choices. You will regret it.

We are considering the following schools for our dd,


1. Cedar
2. MGS
3. CHIJ St Nicholas
4. Crescent

Her aggregate should be able to get in to the above schools (we hope!)

We're inclined to Cedar, but also thinking whether MGS or CHIJ St Nic is a better school. We heard that there's no exams in Sec 1 in St Nic, and tests are not graded as well, is that true?

Any comments on the above schools are most welcome! Thanks!

[quote]pls note that MGS is an independent school. Though there s no exam in st nick for the sec 1, theres common test practically every week plus assignments, all these are taken into account and will be shown in the report book every term.

[/quote]Thanks khk!

Cedar vs MGS, which should be our first choice??

DHS COP was 258, not 260.
