PSLE COP 2010

[verykiasu2010]

octopusmum:

At that time, I didn't link the first choice school to appeals. In fact ,have never thought of appealing until I found out from my friend that her son got into hci w 258 and my son missed it juz by one mark. So thinking of trying our luck to appeal. If we can't get into either hci or njc then will stick w rv. Have told Dh that he may have to sacrifice some sleep and drive him to a mrt station nearer to jurong to shorten the traveling time

I think 225+2 appealing to HCI got chance la....heard that a few DSA-ed to HCI are withdrawing ....

[/quote]Looks like HCI COP is high 257. Remember that T-score has decimal points? So some 257 get in some don't.

Optopusmum,

I remember reading somewhere in this forum that RV provides bus services in the morning from Toa PaYoh. You may want to call the school to enquire about the bus service. Straight from TPY to school, better than taking you own train, wait for bus, switch to bus, then walk etc....

Does your DS 257 include HCL already?

In octopusmum's situation, had already informed her in the forum that it was a bid mistake putting RI as her top choice with score of 255+2.


Should hve place HCI or NJC as the top choice instead and put another good school as second choice. A number of parents in this forum are very well-informed and offered excellent advices to parents. Is up to individuals to discern such infos.

Hope she is successful in her appeal to NJC-good and neaer to her house.

How are you so sure HCI does not accept non-1st choice appeal and NJC will?

[octopusmum]

Congrats, carrot!

Nope, I didn't put hci as a first choice. Big mistake I know ! Will be going to hci to appeal tomorrow. Knowing that my son may be short of a few dec point is :stupid:

I have earlier checked w rv on the transport. Their pickup points r in jurong and woodlands not Toa Payoh:(

You should go to appeal today if you can. Last year my DS's friend short of 1 point to COP. they went to appeal immediately after posting result was out. They got a call from HCI on the very day in late afternoon that their case was successfully. But there were also some appeal cases had to wait a few days.

Both HCI and RI are known to hve turned down appeal cases for non top choice applicants. This rule has been in existence for many years. Of course exceptional cases do exist every year ie national atheletes or top national honours in maths/science olympiads. As for NJC, understand that the appeal committe does consider each case on its own merit even though advantage is given to pupils who opted the sch as its top choice.
