Cop only capture the t score of those going thru s1 posting only. DSA students not taken into account.cluelessmom:
My dd and I were really surprised at how few of her cohort is choosing NYGH over RGS........likewise for the boys with the vast majority choosing RI over HCI......I really dun quite understand y when both are equally good schools... is it just this year or gep students?
But NYGH is the one with the higher COP ! -

Oic.... So the final statement is actually directed to parents who are thinking of 'abandoning' RGS after putting them as 1st choice..... :evil:
In case u change your mind ... We r allow to amend our submission from now till 28/10 for onetime only ...Tinkerbelle:
Hi Trex8,
I also receive the 'Acceptance of Offer' email from RGS after submitting the DSA preference form online yesterday. Like you, I was surprised when I read the email. Completely agree with you that the email seems to be
targeting the wrong audience.
The strangest thing was the email ended with:
We hope you will consider our offer to you carefully and we look forward to you joining the RGS family in 2012.
:scratchhead: I was thinking why do we need to consider their offer carefully when we have just submitted our preference? This statement seems more applicable before parents submit their preference online.

:goodpost:I think it is a diplomatic way of saying -
You applied to us via DSA, we then offered you a CO;
you have chosen us as 1st choice and we accept and reserve a spot for yr DD.
Perhaps you only got a WL for NYGH or failed to make it to NUSH, and if after PSLE results, yr DD got a super >270 Tscore, dun make us mahuan and apply for appeal to other schools after we already commit to each other hor.
Love your diplomatic summary. Clear as crystal.

I guess maybe what they mean is ' keep your promise hor... Don't make us troublesome by transferring our later... So take it or leave it ...'

On COP, like what vks2010 said, the COP for NYGH for affiliated NYPS girls is 250 flat or even 247 if you score HCL distinction(+3). For schools like NYGH which is more of similar category to MGS and SCGS etc in terms of allowing affiliated primary sch girls to enter at a much lower pre set COP, the remaining vacancies for S1 posting are in relation much more limited, thus leading to the seemingly higher S1 COPs for such schools. For some of such schools, the non affiliated girls who enter via S1 posting may constitute only up to 2 classes of the whole secondary 1 cohort. For affiliated schs, please refer to both affiliated COP and S1 posting COP to get a better picture
Yep.....exactly.....I have no idea y so........ Peer influence? Hmmmmm, she is a little wavered...... I still dun get it.....
On the other hand, RGS has no affiliated primary sch ie other than DSA, it's largely public offering, no private placement
Beyond COP, NYGH vs RGS each has its merits and beauty :evil: and you can refer to another thread with relevant heading. -

I submitted yesterday too. Pretty simple. Actually, when you key in the 4-digit school code, the school name will be reflected, so less error of keying in the wrong school.Just submitted the form.
Me , DW and DS1 sit in front of the computer .
6 pairs of eyes checked thru everything.
DS2 was trying to distract us in the background.
But it's really a very very simple process.
Printed the acknowledgement and saved soft copy.

Hi Tinkerbelle, we put RGS as second choice but still get that email ... So now even more puzzling
- why send out that email only AFTER we have submitted our DSA preference
- how does RGS track the submission so that system knows when to send out the email (since submission is through moe website, not RGS website???)

but why do parents want to ‘abandon’ RGS, after putting it as 1st choice ?

Sometimes I wonder why they never try to affiliated RGPS with RGS .
