Can a school set a pre-determined COP for S1 Central Posting? Isn't the COP determined by the last person entering the school based on vacancies? Or are you saying that NJC chooses not to admit students below a pre-determined COP so as to maintain a higher COP?

I can understand that NUSH does this because it's an independent school. But isn't NJC a government school? Does it also have the leeway to do this?

I don't see why NJC can't do that. Anyway the past 2 years intake numbers - can tell that they probably want to uphold a certain standard since they didn't take in to their capacity

DS had a fun time this morning.
Leaving soon for the interview.
Surprisingly quite a few of his GEP classmates are taking part.
Some with WL for RI and some with CO from RGS already.

As for the WL, quite a number of the ACSP GEP boys only got WL. Not sure about the exact number but it would seem that HAST really played a part in the selection. So school affiliation don't count, strictly on merit.

I am quite surprised. I have always thought the ACS affiliation thing is a major major factor. For ACSP GEP boys to get Waitlist only means the selection methodology is a lot more multi-faceted than meets the eye.

Maybe it's similar to CHS where the school would rather give away it's DSA places to boys from outside schools, especially if they see that those boys, based on their past academic records, would not have a problem getting a good enough score to enter the school with affiliation \"bonus\".

Thank you for all the well wishes ! DD came out of the I terview quite disheartend, said she failed . They asked her wat s her strength and weaknesses and she said an avid reader like her is good on gk but xan be anti social at times so they told her if u want to be in ip Prog then u have to be sociable . She thought that was a bad answer to give . She was really upset abt the way she presented herself . Told her that she can always try the psle route and not get upset abt it

Hi suecat...tell ur DD dun b disheartened. She is juz telling the truth abt herself n i'm sure they will not penalise her for that. Whatever the outcome will b, she has done her best n this is a valuable experience that many may not hv the chance.
