      I asked my nephew who is in ACSI what he thinks of Nanyang vs RGS girls. His reply


      Nanyang girls are cheena and dependent . Raffles girls are more adaptable and independent
      It doesn't really matter that the boys think of NYGH girls as being cheena and dependent. We know that our dds are feisty, independent and very bright. It's good that the boys keep away from them before they reach Sec 4 anyway πŸ˜†

      I almost forgot to add, we are also very proud of their bilingualism; nothing cheena about it.

        I have the impression that ACSI boys like girls from MGS and SCGS better. In Year 5&6, many of their schoolmates would be ex-MGS and SCGS girls. πŸ™‚

        By virtue of their JCs, there'll be a number of RI/RGS pairings and NYGH/HCI pairings.

          All these answers are clearly out of the stock type in this era. There's no clear trend, just feel free to choose any race or nationality.

Anyway we're talking about schools and not race nor nationality? All these comments are tongue in cheek observations. Don't take it so seriously. πŸ˜„

                My ds everday sees RGS girls so not keen in them. Not too long ago went to NGHS home coming, saw few interesting and pretty girls. Overall impression not bad though they are too few in numbers. His remarks were pretty and chio girls are mainly found in neighbourhood schools. GOD is dam fair! Girls from MGS, SCGS, ST.Nicks, Cedar, CGS, TKKS, DHS, RVHS, Anglican High are good compromise choices lah. Generally as intelligent and definately prettier than the top two girls school.

                He further mentioned that all these remarks about RGS/NGHS girls are sterotype from people who have not studied with them.

                  Yes...indeed. Sterotyping do exist....I remeber in my JC days, it was going around that CJC has the highest abortion rates lol

                  so I guess the current word-of-mouth is that NYHS girls are cheena, RGS girls are not pretty and MCG girls are chio πŸ™‚

                    my dd appealed into rgs and was successful. They require u to write an essay about ur achievements that u are proud of but NOT academic achievements.That's the personal statement. Then, fill in some forms and hand it in to rgs. They will inform u of the results via phone call. yup.


                    why dun you try NYGH? I heard it easier

                      Though pretty girls are everywhere, among the jcs, they are mainly found in VJ, Temasek, ACJC, AJC, ST. Andrews and CJC.

                        Oh dear. So much stereotyping of girls. The posters here seem to imply that brains and beauty can’t go together.
