Hi Jtoh, hv read a lot in this thread and u hv helped to answer most queries.

I need your help. May i ask if someone has been accepted by NUSH
phase 2 (results of application will be made known 16/12).
Thereafter (21/12)received S1 posting, and decided not to take up NUSH. Does that means the vacancy will be left for those who appeal?
By applying to NUSH,does one lessen the chance of getting the 1st choice of our sch? thank u very much!

Hi tehsusu,

NUSH conducts its admission separately from the S1 Posting so applying to one will not affect your chances in the other. After you receive both results, you can choose which one to accept. But I think there's a time period within which you have to accept NUSH' offer. I can't recall if this is before the S1 Central Posting releases its results. If that's the case you'll have to accept/decline NUSH' offer before knowing the results of your S1 posting. Maybe some NUSH parent can clarify.

NUSH has full discretion over the intake of its students. So whether it releases the new vacancy to those appealing or not is entirely up to the school. In the past NUSH has chosen not to take its full intake of students, choosing only the top students into its fold.

Hi Choco05, is there any compulsory Chinese classics that year 1 girls must read. I understand RI does 三国演义. What about RGS?

Does any other parent know?

No, we don't have. We have this chinese culture book that we are required to read and answer the booklet questions. I don't think anyone actually read the whole thing though, we just flipped to where the answer is

Yes RGS slacks too.

Dear all,


I would appreciate your comments and advice on whether my intepretation of the COP announced by the Secondary Schools is correct.

For example, If Cedar IP Programme has a cut off point of 253, my DD with a 255 score will still be accepted even if she puts Cedar IP as her 5th choice and she is not accepted by her 1st 4 choices of NYPS (262), RGS (260), NJC (257) and DHS (256)? I am worried that she will not be accepted even if she has a higher score than the announced COP because she opted for the school under her 5th or 6th choice.

Thanks much in advance for any insight that you can shed on this matter.
