I pity the poor kids. 5-6 DSA applications?!? Not only is it time-consuming, think of the drain on the poor kids' morale if he gets rejection after rejection. Of course if he gets all COs good for him.

Where to find so many schools apply?

Thanks to Trex8 and Funx3! Hope she will get Co from either NYGHS or RGS…both are good schools.

Hi All


can you give the link in kiasu parents (sure it should have been discussed ) for the below queries. my son is P5. see the posts I started worrying now itself (tooo kiasu)

1. Top 5 IP schools (All I know is RI,NUSH,ACS) . I think I cannot apply for HC because of my DS MT = Tamil. DS in GEP fyi.

2. What is the Niche of the top 5 schools (like good for students interested which career Medicine/politics etc)

3. what is the data we have number of GEP students admitted in RI,ACSI,HC,NUSH,RGS,NYGS) for the past few years

During the briefing at NJC, the teacher in charge said the kids would be dismiss earliest around 5.30.

I double confirmed with him and he said 5 was definitely the earliest time.
So I went home and make my way back to NJC,planning to reach just before 5 pm.
To my horror, DS called me at 4.30 and said they were dismissed and I just left home.
Luckily he had a handphone with him.
So I made him wonder around NJC for half an hour while I made my way there.

Surprisingly he didn’t see that famous NJC top scorer plaque.

Let me try to name at least 6 top tier schools for boys including co-ed, not in any order of preference (I believe there is > 6):
1. RI
2. HCI
3. NUS High
4. ACSI
5. NJC
6. DHS
7. RVHS
8. VS
There are if you really put on thinking cap. But personally I think this is madness for both kid and parents - the time, effort and $!

1. Don't think there is any ranking of IP schools in KSP or by MOE. For a complete list of current IP schools, you can visit MOE School Information Service at http://app.sis.moe.gov.sg/schinfo/index.asp

2. Among the current IP schools, I am only aware that NUSH has special focus on maths and science education and research while SOTA has tailored programme for visual and performing arts.

3. According to the GEP briefing I attended in 2009, 93% of GEP students in 2008 went to IP schools, 86% were successful in DSA. I don't have any figures more recent than these.
