But then, it's JC. You have to \"dig and hear\" some more to find out which primary school they were from. :evil:

Just a wild guess here and for FUN only. So please don't flame me.

If RJC, then secondary school mostly RGS and RI. Primary school hard to say because they come from all over.

Well, that was what greenbean2011 was interested in - which primary school. :evil:

I think she might already have the answer. The original thread where she posted that question was for schools in Bukit Timah area.

say at JC 2, the RJC output is about 1200 per year, out of which 450 are from RI and 450from RGS .....even then it is a small proportion who made it to NUS Medical school because the NUS intake is small, 200 or 300 only per year...so even if half of 200 is from RJC, it is still only 100 out of the 1200 yearly output...and perhaps there are many who made to to overseas med school but then it is not that difficult to get into overseas med school if the parents got the $$ and the kids got the grade$

Hi Janet,


I did not consider SCGS cos DD can apply for MGS thru phase 2B. If SCGS, will be phase 2C. But I'm considering PLMGS, though I heard that school not so gd (no offence to those alumni), so am now in a dilemna.

janet_lee88:

Yup MGS is super hot...even those staying within 1km have to ballot. The reason is bcos it is all girls with affiliation...and only school in bukit timah with that benefit. Have you considered SCGS?

Oops! Something wrong with my eyes....and brain. :siao:

My take is that she wanted to know which secondary school, and from the secondary school, she should be able to \"deduce\" which primary school the students were from.

If she were really referring to secondary schools, why did she post in this section? :scratchhead: This section is for primary schools. She should post at the secondary schools section, right? :?

Anyway......

ya hor ?! anyway to be politically correct and not to offend any parents, all primary schools are equally good and capable of producing the necessary candidates for the medical school

but in most cases it is only during sec school that the kids are finding their interest and developing their academic ability to the fullest extent. those who have a head start at pri level will need to be able to sustain it through JC2 and many more of their peers will be the competitors for places in the uni

I heard that in the NUS Law School, the students are divided into Rafflesians and non-Rafflesians. I am not sure how true this is.
