Applicants using a-level as an uni entrance qualification are evaluated base on 3H2 + 1H1 + PW + GP.

Summary of university rank points:

H2 - A-20, B-17.5, C- 15, D-12.5, E- 10.

H1 - A-10, B- 8.75, C-7.5, D- 6.25, E-5

Maximum points= 20+20+20+10+10+10=90

For the most prestigious courses, namely, law and medicine applicants are expected to score 87.5 and above with at least a B for gp plus good cca/cip hours. They are also expected to perform well at the interview.

Good cca and cip records - A member of student council, exco position in cca, represented college in competition and completed at least 80 cip hours. This is considered good but nowhere nowhere near outstanding.

Remember must also achieve the required rank points before a student can be called up for an interview.

Thanks for the reply. May i then ask what is consider outstanding :?

Btw, how could one completed 80 cip hours at Sec 1? This topic is about entry to IP at Sec 3 right? How can one proof/show the completed cip hours for the application?

We are at the wrong frequency. I am referring to jc level.

For sec 2 - IP is more of a decent PSLE T-score plus good sec1/2 results and a contributing member of a cca as nothing to show for leadership as well as clear a selection test/interview.

Outstanding cca/cip records- Exco member of student council or/chairman’vice-chairman of cca, winner of a national competition, national representative in sports or arts, international medallist in maths/science olympias etc plus at least 150 cip hours.

Would you transfer your child upon finishing sec 4 from a top IP sch of (DW choice) to the JC of another top IP school (DH choice) so that the child could enjoy the best of both worlds?

The answer can be yes or no depending on your circumstances.

Yes if you are not considering a top end scholarship and for the reasons outlined by you.

Yes is also applicable if you are transferring from RI to HCI Humanities programme and aims to study in Oxbridge as a PSC scholar.

No from HCI to RI as much more difficult to land a top leadership position in RI vs-a-vs HCI as you are likely to be out voted by girls/guys from RGS/RI. HCI has shown to be more inclusive in this area.

Over the last ten years, only one student outside RI/RGS family(junior high) managed to win the President scholarship compared to 3 for HCI even though the latter produces less President scholars.


If you scrutinise carefully, there are a total of 8 President scholars that have emerged from non IP schools over the last ten years and none of them had studied in RI.

Don't quite understand you. Are you saying that 8 president scholars were from non-IP schools and of these none were from RI? As RI is an IP school, it goes that none of these 8 would be from RI right? Or am I misunderstanding you?

Don worry abt the president scholars, the politics behind the selection is complex. The elites and underdogs will be represented.
