My point was why does NUSH need to inflate their COP when the preceding year's COP is almost irrelevant to the school's admission criteria? Consider this scenario - COP for NUSH last year was 264 but if there only 1 vacancy left for this year PSLE posting, someone who scores 265 but fails to get double A* for Maths and Science may lose out to someone who scores 260 but with A* in Maths and Science.based on MOE website, NUSH is a SBGE school, and an independent and IP school
independent = 100% discretion on admission policy / score
SBGE = minimum 250 t-score, as in commonly believed that the top 10% cut off is 250 for those who are IP-bound -

My girl had to wait one hour and a half for her NJC interview yesterday. She only went in for ten minutes. I wonder if it means she will not be selected since earlier candidates were interviewed a longer time.My Gal's Frens R at the Interview for NJC This Afternoon ....
They R Busy sms-ing each other since 3pm plus ....
Apparently her fren is informed to go for the interview at 3pm ....
But Gotta Wait Till 5pm for her turn ....
And Another fren of hers sms her that the interview took 45 min!
No wonder her other fren at the Later session gotta Wait so Long for the Interview .... -

Wow ! Which panel was he in and at what time ?
My DS also went in for 10+ minutes only but hardly need to wait.
His time was supposed to be 3.30pm and he went in around 3.40pm -

My DS too had to wait for over an hour. But he said interview was about 10 min. Not sure what time he went in and what time he came out. He was taken away by the senior student about 15 mins before his interview. But he said they had to wait outside for a long time.SSZ:

From what I heard from DS, the questions were mainly to assess your personality. DS mostly answered from heart and did not give any calculated well thought out answers. Not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing.
DS also said that the boy who was interviewed before him came out quite tearful. Said his whole face was red and he was wiping his face. DS was feeling very sorry for the boy. Wonder what went wrong? -

Based on my observations, my guess is that the HAST probably was the 1st level of screening. I would imagine they won't even bother looking at your portfolio unless you are within the top 20% for HAST. Thus, being an all-rounder probably was the least important factor.
I think you've hit the nail on the head. The chairman of the ACS board, in response to a question during a briefing 2 weeks ago, mentioned that ACS GEP boys would have no problem getting into ACSI anyway as they tend to score well for PSLE.phankao:
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\".
In terms of sports DSA, it is defintely more multi-faceted than just being the best.
