      Ok Thanks for your advice. Should I appeal to Nygh?

      Coz I am only 2 marks away and have UNSW awards.
      I would, no harm trying. You never know unless you tried. πŸ˜„

        Oh. Ok:) Thanks for the great advice.

        However, I am still pondering over something.
        I should have this.
        1st: NYGH
        2ND :NJC
        3RD: RV.
        (not sure for order of rv and njc tho)

        then what about the rest? Should I fill the other 3 choices? Because I think RV should be able to get in. But then also should I include RGS in? Their COP is 260.

        And for 3rd lan, I am definitely choosing Jap. Should I choose others for the 2nd and 3rd choice?

          Do you want to go RGS? If you want to appeal to NYGH, it's better to put as 1st choice.
          You can ignore RGS or put it as 2nd choice and move everything down.
          You can also put Cedar as 5th choice. I would filled up all choices lah, but highly unlikely that you will be posted to your 4th choice and below.
          IMHO. πŸ˜„

            Do you like RGS? At 258, your chances aren't that high of getting into RGS. Why not just stick to your current 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices and fill up 4th/5th/6th with safe options. Cedar, MGS, DHS, SCGS are possible options and all are good schools. I think if you don't get NYGH you should get NJC. And you can appeal to NYGH after the posting results are out. When you appeal, just get ready all your certs, awards etc and wow them. πŸ™‚

              Hi, my son scored 216 for his PSLE. We currently stay near old airport road. There are not many schools that he can apply for. Would appreciate your advice. Thanks.

                For third language, if you choose Japanese as first choice, you can't put German/French as 2nd and 3rd choices. You'll have to choose from Malay/Arabic. If you're not keen on taking those as third lang just leave blank.

                  Can we leave the 3rd lang completely blank. DS not so keen on the langs that he is offered.

                      Ok thanks. But I went to the RV open house today and I found that their programmes are quite good. Next question: NYGH or RV?

                        So if you are interested in RV, you gotta put RV as 2nd choice.
