Jessica1234:

My gal's teacher is going to write a testimonial for her and she wants to appeal for Crescent Girls'.

Can anyone tell me if her chances of getting in are high?

Me too planning to ask teacher to write testimonial. How much did your gal get? I got 230. My fren also going to ask with 225. Do you think appeal will be successful? :?: :imdrowning:

[quote=\"funnymum\"]I live just beside Tanjong Katong Sec & TKGS. My baby would really love to go to any of these schools because of the CCA offered and the fact that it is very near to our house. However, my baby's aggregate is 6 points away from the COP. And my baby's application into one of the schools for DSA was unsuccessful. How could I help my baby to go into anyone of these schools. I have not submitted the S1 form yet pending for some expert advice here. pls help. thanks

Funnymum, frankly, 6 points away from the sch COP is a lot.....and it is very unlikely the sch COP is going to drop to that extent for this year. If you are going to appeal to these schs, your gal must be able to offer the sch exceptional CCA, sports or something that the sch will want and value.

Otherwise, you might want to start exploring other schs within your gal's T-score range around your area or within easy access. All the best.

Thanks for your advice. If that is the case, then , my baby can only go to those schools that is affiliated with primary schools, like, St Anthony Canosian (COP 226 - non affiliated, 188 -affiliated) , Geylang Methodist (COP 220 - non affiliated, 188 - affiliated) or CHIJ Katong Convent (COP 225 - non affiliated, 188 - affiliated). Is it safe for her to choose those schools when priority is given to the affiliated primary school? What is her chance to be posted to these schools? Could she also try Temasek Sec (COP 230) ? Thanks[/quote]My suggestion is as follows:
1st and 2nd choice: Max 2-3 points higher than score
3rd and 4th choice: same or +-1 point from score
5th and 6th choice: Max 2-3 point lower than score

By doing so, you can more be assured of possibility of getting school of your choice.

Hi


May I seek KS parent’s advice as to whether my DD (249+2) will still stand a good chance to get into Crescent Girls if she puts it as her 3rd choice?

Also, would her appeal to RV / SCGS be very slim?

Choice
1. River Valley (SAP) – 253
2. Singapore Chinese Girls -250
3. Crescent Girls – 243
4. Nan Hua (SAP) – 243
5. Bukit Panjang Govt – 243
6. Commonwealth -237


Thanks!
