DSA 2011

I don’t see why NJC can’t do that. Anyway the past 2 years intake numbers - can tell that they probably want to uphold a certain standard since they didn’t take in to their capacity[/quote]
Interesting. So schools can inflate their COPs by taking in fewer students than capacity.[/quote]
so NUSH & NJC do that ?[/quote]
Don’t think that is the case for NUSH. The school had been consistent - 10% of each year cohort are admitted based on PSLE results. Each year, they would admit the full allotment of 10% vacancies based on PSLE results. Yes, the school wants to maintain certain admission criteria but I think these criteria apply only for DSA phase. No reason for the school to inflate COP when the PSLE intake is so small. The school does not even publicise their COP - for PSLE intake, criteria has always been T-score of 250 and A* for both Maths & Science. Also, I sense that the school places more importance in their DSA screening process than PSLE results. -
based on MOE website, NUSH is a SBGE school, and an independent and IP school
independent = 100% discretion on admission policy / score
SBGE = minimum 250 t-score, as in commonly believed that the top 10% cut off is 250 for those who are IP-bound -

My point was why does NUSH need to inflate their COP when the preceding year's COP is almost irrelevant to the school's admission criteria? Consider this scenario - COP for NUSH last year was 264 but if there only 1 vacancy left for this year PSLE posting, someone who scores 265 but fails to get double A* for Maths and Science may lose out to someone who scores 260 but with A* in Maths and Science.based on MOE website, NUSH is a SBGE school, and an independent and IP school
