\"RV's IP ASK is modeled after Harvard\" - i heard hor, miss eek is ex-harvard

RV's IP is modeled after Harvard's educational programme called \"Teaching for Understanding\", not \"ASK\" as I wrote previously.

Sorry was in a rush juz now so didn’t think thru the question carefully . Yeah it is impossible for all to gain entry to the unis . It is a good feeling to know that the pioneer batch has done so well and Tks to them Ds has one full day to catch up w his project and sleep:)

octopusmum,

Is there any reason why you are worried that your son won't make it to the U?

I think there should not be a problem with your son's calibre even if he is just an average student in rv. A possible senario will be that he starts having attitude problem later, otherwise, even if he is just average, he should smoothly go to the U.

You can easily go to the university website and check. Forexample for NUS, then
http://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/apply/apply.html

Click for the prospectus for A level students. Then , in the prospectus, under content page you will the pages for Admission Requirement.

Generally speaking, it is a pass in 2H2 and GP/KI in one sitting. And MTL at least D7. However, admission is based on competition each year and satisfying the above criteria does not guarantee admission. That is why, the university also published the admission grade profiles for each faculty which is also in the propectus.
