Advice needed pls,

Child has T-scole 258+2 -Which school should he go for ?

1) Dunman High -IP
2) Hwa chong Inst -IP
3) ACSI - IB (worry is that the school may not post child to IB as vacanies may be limited...)
4) RVHS COP -IP
5) NJC COP 260 - IP
6) SJI COP - O level

i) do u think we should choose IP over O level route?
for me - yes
ii) some schools offer school base gifted education programme, is it really important to choose such programme if child is from GEP ?
Of course
iii) does anyone know the no. of vacancies in each school ?
Call the schools to find out
iv) do we need to opt for all 6 choices?
I am not. I have only indicated 1 choice.

Thank you in advance :?:

Thanks Fairy. To play safe, I will probably include 3 choices : HCI, RVHS (non-SBEG), ACSI. How would u rank these 3 ?

Thank you

Hi Fairy, pls give me some advise? My girl's 1st choice is NJC (COP 259) but is in dilemma on her 2nd choice as she has to choose among SCGS, MGS and BPGH. Which is a better school? She doesn't mind NYGH but her score 259 + 3 HCL = 262, will she stand a chance?

There's frankly no harm in putting NYGH first imo. Posting is done first and foremost on T-score ranking (down to the decimals). The only chance that her ranking of the scores will affect her posting is when two students with the exact same scores (down to the decimals) have exactly the same choices. Not likely to happen.

In the event that she's unsuccessful, there's always appealing. I know of people who appealed in; as long as you can present yourself and speak well, it should be fine. OTOH, to make a strong appeal case, it would be advisable to select the school as the 1st choice.

MOE does calculate down to the decimals. My brother had 249, same as the COP for Anderson Sec back then. He didn't get in; was posted to his 2nd choice instead.

Some people have been asking about NYGH. For those interested, I posted my thoughts on my alma mater here: http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5831&start=90

If anyone has queries on NYGH/ HCI, IP or whatever, feel free to PM me.

IMHO, don't choose St Patrick cos of their disciplinary problems. I hear very positive feedback on Mayflower secondary school and it seems to be a good choice. :lovesite:

Thank you

HCI admin mentioned appr 500 during DSA but ..... better to check again.

.... most probably able to give infos on app. how many seats been offered for DSA ( heard app 250 ? ) and maybe also how many students had finally taken up their offer (maybe ) and thus how many they seeking now ? They do accept phone calls and thru emails. Reply is fast also.

Our case and opinion - IP 6 years so to split out the national exams for Chinese (O level) and other subjects (A level) ... Had spent so much time on Chinese during PSLE, practically left with no time for the other 3. With IP, first 3 to 4 years to brush up Chinese standard and then over with it at O level exams. For the next 2 years, full concentration for A level subjects. Of course not to neglect O level subjects also, in school exams ......

249 plus 2 (HMT) . Nan Hua or Bukit Panjang Gov High ? Please advise. Thanks.

My girl has the same score 249 + 2.
I am staying in the west.

These are my choices:-
1) RV
2) Nan Hua
3) BPGH
4) Commonwealth
5) Swiss Cottage
6) Clementi Town

Please advise.

Why don't you consider St. Margaret's? Ignoring the girls from the bottom classes, those from the top classes (made up of girls with higher PSLE aggregate) are very competitive and well-behaved.

justsay:

Hi, The first 3 choices would most probably be the same. My daughter wanted RV so much that she cried when she received her results. Choice 2 would be most crucial as that will be the one they would be able to get in if rejected by RV. We are unable to decide between Nan Hua and BPGH. :?

Btw, why do you choose NH over BPGH ?
Do you happen to know is the PC tablet program for NH open to all students who are interested or only for selected students ?
Thanks !

Hi,

I went to NH open house yesterday, the student told me that he PC tablet program is open to all students who are interested.
