Er ... I got 254+2 for my PSLE.

Is it ridiculous for me to appeal to NYGH? I absolutely love that school, and I've heard that people with 252 got in before.

A bit difficult, bec their COP has been about 260. Students who get in at 250 are from their affiliated NYPS. I suppose you could always put it down as your first choice and try appealing after the posting results are out. But honestly, unless you excel in a certain CCA or have something concrete to offer them, your chances are low.

Awwh ... Alright. I'm putting it as my first choice (:. I've actually thought about what to offer yesterday night/ this morning.

Thaaanks btw

Thank you so much, Dad Fm East, for your valuable input. It certainly helped alot. I just returned from the free consultation at RI. An RI boy attended to us and did some orientation. I was quite impressed by the level of maturity displayed by the boy. It gives me a good impression of RI. By the way, any idea how many vacancies after the DSA places taken up are left? Wondering how good are his chances.

You mentioned yr Ds scored 267, then I say it a shoo-in. The cut-off for last yr was 259, it could not gone up by that much, 1 to 2 point maybe. Don't worry about the vacancies, not all the top boys opt for RI, some will choose HCI, ACSI and DHS. Just go ahead and put it as 1st choice if that is what yr son choice.

Thanks jtoh for your advice… I had toyed with that idea too and the 3rd sch that i have in mind is VS - IP Prog…i am just worried that if he doesn’t get into his HCI /DHS then probable his chances of getting VS-IP will be v v v slim. OMG… How?

Hi ProteX,



Thanks alot for the info.Will keep dd posted about the fast learning pace in the GE class.

Best regards,
Joy

May I know which group of students will be placed in GEP class and what is the difference between the gep and non gep class.

Best Regards,
Joy

[GEP class consists of those from Primary GEP and high-performing mainstreamers. Their curriculum may be a little different and they will learn things at a faster rate.[/quote]

For those confirmed going nygh, the sec 1 book list is out on their web site.


Any parents know if those from Gep will be in same or different class ? Is it 'safe' to buy text books now ? I heard people saying there may be last minute changes.
Also would the Gep students be using different textbooks?

Just hoping to get uniform and txt books first before the mad rush...
