If you don't hear from them if all your friends who applied around the same time have, give them a call just to make sure that they haven't missed your application. -

Though it is not publicly acknowledged, RI(JC) produces the highest number of successful Medicine candidates for NUS and probably also for Ivy League universities and Oxbridge as well. I won't be surprised if Raffles also produce the highest number of civil service scholars who eventually end up in various government ministries, especially the elite Admin Service. One look at the photographs of political luminaries lobby wall of RI and you know you have arrived at step 1 of the ladder of politics! :imcool: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
HCI contributes the 2nd highest number of Medicine candidates I think. However it is the leading school with regards to producing future bi-cultural professionals (wrt China).
NUSH is clearly a very niched school and with a very small intake so it is hard to make meaningful comparisons with the rest. No doubt in future we can expect lots of Ph.Ds amongst the graduates.
\"If you hope your son to go into business one day, bet on ACS(I).\" Guess who said that to me? A successful hedge fund partner who studied in .... yes - RI/RJC ! So ACS(I) is not just an IB school that produces the most perfect scorers. That is beside the main point. ACS(I) is where your child mixes with students who are already destined to take over their family businesses. Or with kids who are fortunate enough to get family support for whatever ventures they try and not be trapped in the HDB/CPF/NUS/AWS/... kind of future. So maybe ACS(I) is like the Island Country Club golf course of our education landscape? -

I remembered there was a saying \"If you want to rule Singapore go to RI. If you want to own Singapore go to ASC.\" -
If you want to serve Singapore go to HCI.

Just heard that my DD’s classmate (a boy) got a CO from HCI. The boy from GEP and took HCL. Apparently he also did quite well for SMOPS and was invited to attend some camp in the first week of June school holidays.
Just to share … -

I also heard DS schoolmate received an offer from HCI already. He was offered through sports. He is the gold medalist for both 100m and 200m event in the National Schools Track and Field Championship.Just heard that my DD's classmate (a boy) got a CO from HCI. The boy from GEP and took HCL.
