Hi my DD got 249+3, is she able to get into RV? If not what are the chances of her getting in via appeal?

Ha your DD same situation with my DS who has 252 without HMT.
Last year RVH's COP was 253 though.
RVH is one of our option but we are worried than DS will have to struggle a lot with HCL there.

Those on IP don't take O-level HCL unlike A-level students. They hve the option to take CL at HL or SL depending on their aptitude.

I see. So are the HL or SL CL for IB easier compared to O level CL and HCL ?
And if a student clear HL for CL at (? year 4) is the sudent exempted from CL in year 5 and 6 ?

This is interesting cos even NUSH has to take the usual O and A level CL.

An O-level student who passed HMT and opted to do IB is deemed to hve meet the unis MT requirement and need not take MT. If he/she is a high scorer, its advisable to take as can help to achieve higher rank pts.

Does anyone know whether HCL marks are included only when it comes to girls but not boys?

It is not gender dependent. It is based on the type of schools you want to choose in secondary. If you want to opt for a SAP school, then you can add the points to T-score to better the score for SAP school entry.
+3 points - Distinction
+2 points - Merit
+1 point - Pass

In yr ds' situation, get him to do HCL whichever sch he is posted to and forget about 3rd lang. Send him for HCL tuition and if he is still unable to cope than drop it. Anw, the curriculum time is still the same.

Is difficult to guage yr chances thru appeal. However, place RV as yr top choice pending appeal and Nan Hua as nxt choice. Nothing to lose. [/quote]But Nanhua's COP is 243 and rather low, wont it be better if she chose MGS/SCGS as a better choice? Pls advise thank you

Personally, cop should not be used as a primary benchmark in yr selection.
