[quote=myrick88 post_id=1925979 time=1564726418 user_id=6175]Any idea how many CO and WL will be offered?

We should know the figures next week when we attend the briefing

Congrats Rio! So your DS got a CO?

Maybe RI CO will come soon. [/quote]Thank you. Yes he got a CO. Congratulation to your DS too.

RI is pretty competitive, just his class has abt 20 students tat went for interview. I doubt RI will give too many CO fr 1 school so I m not keeping my hope too high. In any way we are already grateful to have receive 1 CO.

Maybe all of us should wear a name tag for easy identification on that day…lol

[quote=anamikaJM post_id=1925888 time=1564718124 user_id=151708]This is something else i wanted to ask from all the experienced people here... Have heard many people who get selected in NUS, leave it for Raffles? Do u think Raffles is better than NUS? In what sense ?

I don't think it's a matter of which school is better.

Rather, it's a matter of which school suits the child more and whether the child will thrive in that school.

In any case, both schools are great schools.

My opinion is ...

If your child is fighting for government scholarships or US universities ... RI is likely going to be better

If your child is good in everything including CCA/leadership ... RI is likely going to be better

If your child is lob-sided to Maths and Science ... NUSH is likely going to be better

For the other, I think more of what your child inspire to be

RI mission is Nurturing thinkers, leaders and pioneers of character who serve by leading and lead in serving.
... I interpret as Harvard, scholar, Minister, and etc

NUSH mission is Inspire and shape the future of education in mathematics and science. Future-ready Pioneers, Humanitarians and Innovators for the world ... I interpret as A*STAR, MIT, NASA, Steve Job, Einstein[/quote]Very apt description of NUS High!!!

My DC is having a wonderful journey in NUSH and been inspired to expand the horizons in the maths and sciences. 😄

NUSH is doing a great job nurturing these young minds. Never in our wildest dreams did we expect DC to represent Singapore in 2 Olympiad subjects.

DC and fellow schoolmates were the top team and second team in SPSO and NMOS for their year. The other schoolmates, were slightly more talented than DC, had gone to an elite school after PSLE but since then, had never come across them in the Olympaids. Perhaps they are leading and serving in other fields!
