Which is logical for AL8 below?

OPTION A
1) ACSI-IP (COP 7)
2) SJI-IP (COP
3) ACSI-O (unaffiliated COP 9)
4) SJI-O (unaffiliated COP 10)

OR OPTION B
1) ACSI-IP (COP 7)
2) ACSI-O (unaffiliated COP 9)
3) SJI-IP (COP
4) SJI-O (unaffiliated COP 10)

ACSI chatbot seems to suggest option B is preferred if I want my kid to have better chances to enter ACSI. Will the MOE algorithm post my kid to SJI-IP instead of ACSI-O since the COP for ACSI-O is lower even though I indicate SJI-IP lower in ranking?

If most people say merit ie AL score is the determining factor, then does it mean one will get posted to a lower-ranked school with a lower COP if you rank another school with higher COP higher like the above example?

Any thoughts?

Would the following be logical for AL8M? Thinking of schools not in the far East/West. Can the expert parents here help advise? Thanks in advance

1) ACSI or NJC
2) SJI-IP
3) SJI-O
4) VS-O
5) MS

Hi, can anyone help provide some advice… My boys 6 and 4 are with Yamaha now doing the electone for about 1-2 years. I’m thinking of progressing and learning music with them since I feel that I can provide supervision and encouragement simultaneously but yamaha is disallowing parental accompaniment soon.


Should I sign up for additional home piano lessons or looked for another music school that allows me to sit in and learn with them?
