Hi, i would like to ask, my cousin got a score of 258+2, what schools should she apply to? Is it very risky to apply to NJC? please advise. thanks.

Hi, fyi COP for njc is 257 last year. As it is not an SAP school, ur cousin cant use the HMT bonus points. In other words, if ur cousin is applying for njc, the determining score would be 258 and not 258+2.

Good luck to your cousin !

First you have to tell us are you a boy or a girl.
Very different choices involved.

Was having dinner with some friends last night.

Two of them have daughters with 259+3 and 261+2 respectively.
Both rejected from NYGH DSA.
As usual they are thinking about NYGH and RGS as top 2 choices with NJC as 3rd.
So correct order for them should be NYGH, RGS and NJC right ?
Since most likely they will get NJC anyway, really no harm to try for NYGH or RGS right ?

Hi, my friend’s dd scored 228 and she wants to try Temasek for 1st choice. My sil’s dd scored 237 and she wants to try Crescent for 1st choice. What are the chances for these girls when their marks are way off the cop. Would it even be wise to attempt? Please advise. Thanks in advance!

Hi Otah, why do u say that first two year at HCI is free with EESIS?
I thought it will cover all 6 years? DS teacher said that even if u repeat, the repeated year will also be granted 2.4k.

I think what Otah mean is that HCI SEc 1 & 2 fees is $200 / mth. That is adequately covered by EESIS. Compared with some other schools that charge higher and you still need to come out with $$ from pocket


EESIS is for 6 years. From Sec 3 onwards, HCI fees is higher than $200, so not \"free\" as you need to foot part of monthly fee.

Oic, thanks for the clarification.[/quote]Would like to know in order to get the EESIS for the whole 6 years, one has to maintain good progress .... What is the min. Score to qualify? Worried in case in year 2 onwards, child unable to cope and there goes the scholarship.... Anyone can help advise?
