[quote="ngl2010"][quote="Beyonderic"]Hey guys
i have a score of 258 (without adding HCL), do i have a chance in getting into raffles institution? or should i put hwa chong institution as my first choice?
Put RI as your first choice. If you can’t get in, then appeal.
I am quite sure you can get into HCI even if you put it as your 2nd choice. So, please don’t waste your 1st choice. You should put RI as your first choice.
My son was in your position last year.
thx
did ur son appeal? if he did ,did he appeal successfully? and what should i bring for appeal? previous results or achievements like UNSW competition?[/quote]
Yes, he appealed. Successfully appealed.
When you appealed online, the website will tell you what to submit. It didn’t mention any personal statement or recommendation from teacher but I asked my son to write personal statement and I also got a letter from his form teacher and CCA teacher. As letters from teachers may take a while, it is better you ask for the letters now.
You need to sell something about yourself. Don’t only highlight academic achievement because RI already has many students that are outstanding in their academic achievement. You need to highlight your leadership skills, sports achievement, music/art achievement, CCA achievement, community service, etc.
Hope you’ll get into RI. All the best to you![/quote]
Thankiew!
