Appreciate advise for the following qns :


1. What is the chance to get directly into IP for 254 ?
2. How convenient from HV mrt to the school ?

SBC dad: 1) No idea, but I suspect they will try to set internal cutoff at 255; note however that internal transfer to IP can also occur a) by waitlist in Year 1, b) by academic performance in Year 2 going up to Year 3. 2) HV MRT not as convenient as Buona Vista MRT, take 74 or 196 or walk 10 min.

Don't walk, definitely more than 10 minutes.
Closest mrt is Buona Vista and not Holland V.

Heard last year COP was 253 , year before was 255 , and two years back was 257. Seems to be moving downward, any comments ?

Heh, it's 10 min if you're young and fit, 15 min if not so young and not so fit... and yes, I did mean BV MRT.


The COP is driven by market forces. It went down recently because of the previous principal leaving the school under unusual circumstances. It should go up again.

Note: look at http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/travel/travel_id_5902/travel_site_10577/. Cut through Rochester Drive (see satellite map for route).

Just submitted DS1’s S1 form and put 7001 as 1st choice.

I wish you all the best, ngbrdad and all those who have put 7001 as first choice!
