Every where is the world applies the same theory. As long as there are Money and Connections. Lowest aggregate also can enter TOP school.

That is not likely to happen in rgs. Nobody is going to be attracted to the money when the school already has more than enough.

Is probably true. George W Bush can get into Yale University though he was not particularly academic and intelligent. But universities benefit from connecting with such influential people also....maybe is a win-win proposition for the schools by allowing a small number of such students, many more that get in through proving their intellectual prowess also benefited.

but Yale is not a grade 7 high school

In addition to academic performance whereby RI's mean of 85.5 vs HCI's mean of 84.5, culture and distance, one needs to feel comfortable studying in the chosen school.


Another important factor is which school can provide your dd the best opportunities to excel in her cca or the likely hood of representing her college in national competitions. Just base on straight As without a good cca portfolio is considered only as good in one aspect. If a student aims to study for free in our local unis, a good cca record is a mandatory requirement. As both are the top girls' schools, the positive feedback from some existing girls while informative cannot be totally instructive as is based on one's personal experience only. No two persons are the same!.

For those who are highly capable and posses leadership qualities, evaluate which school is the most ideal platform to position you to sieze top student's leadership positions ie president/vice president of student council or at least president/vice president of respective ccas. You will definitely be asked this question during scholarship interviews or selection interviews for admission to medicine and law faculties.

Remember you are not just competing within your own schools but the entire cohort.

Let 's NOT talk abt some of the isolated cases of successes of Appeal cases as we probably wont know what these students can contribute to the sch.

The earlier conversation is regards to the COP for affiliated girls for NYGH.
The official announcement one…

Friendship, do you claim that money and connection can buy anyone the entrance to any TOP school in Singapore ???
Please elaborate your bold statement.

You will never get to hear the fate of the bottom 10% whether in RI or HCI for obvious reasons. In fact the bottom 20% generally failed to qualify for local business schools so hve to choose unpopular courses.


For the bottom few percent, no choice hve to take distance learning degrees or retake A-levels as a pte candiate.

Those bottom ones might have been transferred to other sec school from RI before they even reach sec 4. If in HCI, those bottom ones, some stay on after they buck up while some might have gone to other JC/poly after taking their 'O' Level.

Due to affliation which allow their own primary schools to enter at lower aggregrate. Hence personally I concluded that RGS and RI are up to higher standard.

This is what is puzzling to me. If indeed HCI and NYGH admits \"lower\" standard students, then this should be reflected ultimately in the 'A' level results. Yet year after year they are able to produce sterling results, comparable to the Raffles school. What does this say about their value-addedness?

Personally, I am not bothered by the students' standard when they enter a school, but their standard when they leave it.

With DSA, Top schools may take in students with sport talent who may not be excel academically.
