Would like to add something I wrote on Cedar Girls topic.



My friend who scored 242 is appealing to Cedar Girls. The office staff told her parents and her (I was there but was sitting on the couch) that my friend's chances were slim and that the COP is likely to go up due to going-to-be-IP status.

For those on borderline case, perhaps call up the school to check so that you will not waste your precious 6 choices ?

will the school entertain such query , they might not even know the new COP

I'm not sure but the school did tell my friend that COP likely to go up. Maybe by a few points ?

Please don't throw stones at me if I'm wrong, this is purely what I heard from my friend almost immediately after the school told her that.

I'm just sharing what I know to contribute back to this forum.^^

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 ?

HCJC being one of the oldest JC can't alone account for the fact that it produced the most president scholars. There must be quite alot of good students from other good secondary schools (such as RI and RGS) to account for it. As I have said, TCHS and NYGS don't produced more than 5 for the last 20-30 years. The other dozens that HCJC have produced must come from other secondary schools...evrybody can go and figure which other secondary schools can produce so many president scholars.

Your argument is beginning to sound like a joke.

How many president scholars are there in a year ?

You can count on your figures, It is an average of only 5 a year.

So you are basing that to say \"many\" people from Ri/RGS goes to HCJC ?

Do you realise how ridiculous your claims are ?[/quote]I think you don't understand the point. There are 50 president scholars from HCJC over the years. Only around 5 were from TCHS and NYGS school combined. How do you account for the other nearly 3-4 dozens?

My answer is that many were from RGS (maybe not RI)

And I also want to correct your view that 90% of RI and RGS proceed on to RJC. It is simply not true in the older days when the cutoff point of RJC was 7-8 (that is very good score in older days) and the average L1B5 of RI and RGS was 8 or 9. Many simply can't make the score for entry into RJC. Moreover, some that make the score prefer schools like HCJC, NJC or VJC. The size of each cohort of JC in those days were 700-800, not the over 1000 nowaday. RJC and HCJC in those days were really not as monolithic in its student intake as you think.

I really don't want to split hair over scores or number of scholars etc...I don't keep statistics but a simple google gave me this site which shows that HCJC was top in at least 2003 and 2004. But you may complain why based on number of 4 distictions, why not other measures?

I was there too with my DD. A parent spoke to the VP re the daughter chance of getting in. The Daughter was scoring 23something. The VP is very honest and spoke in a kind manner that there is no chance as she believes alot of the high end 24 something and 250s will apply for Cedar this year which i believe too as it is really a nice school with good ambience and impressive programmes

I was waiting with my friend for her parents to arrive at the general office. There, we met our classmate. Her parents were talking to this male guy with another parent.This male guy whom I presumed to be the VP, entertained all the questions my classmate's parents were asking. He seemed to me as a really nice VP/Staff/Teacher as he did not seem to be irritated by the questions but instead answered them nicely. I was impressed.This is definitely a school I want to go. It may not be independent, but the whole school gave me an impression that it is very high-class. I really liked the school.

Dear all, advise please. My child psle result is 223. So far this is what we have on the list:


Chung Cheng (Yishun) cop: 230, mean: 235, median: 233
Gan Eng Seng, cop: 222, mean: 228, median: 227
Mayflower, cop: 222, mean: 225, median: 225
Hua Yi, cop: 221, mean: 225, median: 225
Bowen, cop: 221, mean: 226, median: 225
Peirce, cop: 208, mean: 213, median: 212

Her cca is international dance and she is from River Valley Primary. Is the list too aggressive or good strategy. Worst outcome we are hoping she is going to Gan Eng Seng.

Advise please, pretty please to this confused mother-daughter.

You can consider Beatty sec sch, walking distance from Braddell Stn.
They have been very consistent in getting the value-add awards and the banding for 2010 'O' level is 6, one of the best schools to consider for good academic performance.
Good luck in your choices!

Thank you so much for the suggestion, look it up already - there is no international dance for cca. Sigh...

Any advise on putting Chung Cheng as 1st choice?

Based on 254, I would say MGS is a good choice for your dd. I assume your dd will be joining the Sophia Blackmore programme? That would prepare her well for the IB programme if she intends to join ACSI. Even if she doesn't intend to do IB, SBC will be a good as it caters to higher ability students.

Around that neighbourhood, the better schools would be RGS, NYGH and NJC. I don't think she'll be able to enter RGS and NYGH with that aggregate. Possibly NJC, but that's co-ed and they do not offer SBGE. The other alternative is SCGS which also offers SBGE.
