My son 253, GE, seems like for IP (SGBE) can only try ACSI? Anyone can advise on this school or recommend some choices? We stay Sengkang, and the journey to ACSI is 75mins, and heard school starts 7.15am. Son was not successful for his RI waitlist…

understand the waitlist at RI is short. My question is any waitlisted who put RI as first choice got rejected fro RI at PSLE release in the past?


Hi Zann,

Son also on waiting list last year for DSA and admitted to RI when place as first choice. Called the admin office last year and was advised to put RI as first choice. Thay also informed that the waiting list for RI was short and admission chances of DSA waiting list is 100% for past 4 years. Hope this answer your question.

Not true. There are wait list more than 250 did not get it.

My son was on RI wait list. He score 253 and got rejected. He got a GE status. Now comtemplating whether to stick to GE/IP sch. Shd I try DH and NJC too? RI says can appeal if want to. Should I?

Of course you should appeal to RI. There's no harm right? At the same time, put DHS / NJC as your 1st and 2nd choice schools. Your son should do alright in the GE/IP schools. 253 is a very decent aggregate.

thanks for your encouragement. I think of that too. Cat High is not a IP school. I thought of ACS(I) which within his reach. Any comment on the sch?

But EESIS COP for 2008 was 263 whereas in 2010 it's down to 260. Therefore the performance of students in 2010 is weaker in 2010 than 2008. Hence, I would expect COP of RGS this year to be about 259 and not in the region of 265.

I agree with your RGS COP estimate, maybe it might be 260, but certainly not 265. EESIS is the best indicator of the top COPs. I think in 2007, RGS COP was 266 vs 264 EESIS.

What is EESIS?

My son was on RI wait list. He score 253 and got rejected. He got a GE status. Now comtemplating whether to stick to GE/IP sch. Shd I try DH and NJC too? RI says can appeal if want to. Should I?

Got any hope? I kiasu.

No harm trying. What are your 2nd and 3rd choices.

2nd choice is HCI as it is far from my home.
3rd choice is NJC.
I dont pick RI as my teacher said it was too 'cruel'[/quote]Lucky u, still have +1. My boy din take HMT and score 253 with GE status. Now thinking if still want to stick to IP or SGBE school or just go to a good school.

None of the papers were difficult this year, specially Maths(2007 & 2009) , so PSLE score should not see too much of deviation from expectation of parents. Hence we should not see too much messages this years.

will be shock this yr highest score not so high!

My son waitlist RI, very kancheong too. Wonder how the chances?
