dear all,


I would be thankful if you shared your views with me. My son scored 239 but did not get his 1st choice- SJI. The cut off this year has apprently gone up to 242. We lodged the appeal on 1.12.2011.He has been posted to YTSS.will my appeal to SJI be jeopardised if i accept YTSS?

If he's been posted to YTSS he must show up for registration tomorrow at YTSS. You then wait for SJI to get back to you on the appeal. In the meantime just take it that he's going to YTSS. And no, your appeal will not be affected.

Thank you so much vlim. :thankyou:

I have just gotten my books, badges, tie, socks, etc. Are the books the same for all the different classes? Tomorrow, we super sin nang liao. No need to queue for anything. I'm glad I am following this thread.

How come the book shop did not tell you no need to buy the tie / badge because the boys will get it at the Investiture ceremony at at the end of orientation ?

haha, nvm, keep as spare ! the pin of the badge breaks quite easily .....

U mean they will give the tie and badge for free :scratchhead:
I hv ordered one tie and 3badges , should I cancel it( how many spare badges do we need ?)[/quote]
I am so confused. :?

So should we buy badges and tie at the bookshop?

No need to buy as your son will be given the badge and tie at the end of Orientation. You can buy extra if you're kiasu.

Hey there, I got 258 for psle applied for nus high but still on waiting list, i got a gold for maths olmypiad, a high distinciton and distinction for new south wale maths and science respectively. Are my chances low, and when will i know the outcome. And I would like to ask if you will be ranked higher in terms of selection if you have better awards even if you have a lower t-score than some1.

Hi,

your achievements in math n Science are quite impressive. They'll look into your SA and CA from P4 to P6 as well. Depending on the no. of exits from NUS High and no. on waiting list, you may stand a good chance. All the best! :xedfingers:

According to the bookshop, you do not need to queue. Just tell them you make a reservation.

3 badges can last more than a year lah. you need a spare tie in the locker, in case forget to bring - kena demerit point


Yes, badge and tie will be bestowed on the boys during investiture. One spare badge should be sufficient. Can always buy more if your boy loses or breaks one.
