Hi All,
My DD got 266. She is deciding between RGS n CEDAR. Any pros/cons, your suggestions/experiences pls.
Thanks.

I think both schools are good. You may want to travel to both schools to find out how long is your journey to both schools. If your girl is taking public transport, Cedar may not be so convenient as it's quite a long walk from the bus stop. Rgs is about 4 mins walk from Braddell mrt. Rgs has just moved to the new building last year whereas Cedar's building seems older. Rgs is a pure IP school. On the other hand, Cedar has both IP & O level track. O level track is a safety net for IP students in case they don't do well. You can also look at the list of CCAs offered by both schools. After 4 years, the girls will be promoted to RI & VJC. You may want to see which JC is more convenient for you. RI is next to Marymount mrt and VJC is near Marine Parade. (not sure if it's near any future mrt line)
Rgs is an independent school, thus school fees is $340+ ($140+ after ESIS) whereas Cedar is an autonomous sch and school fees is $27+.

My DS has 251 + 2
Our choice is
1) RVHS 253
2) Catholic high IP 252
3) or 4) ACS I O level 252
4) or 3) Catholic high O level 249
5) Fairfield 243
6) Nan Hua high 246

Any chance for NUS high?

Any advise for these choices? We staying in Jurong East.

Thanks first.

NUS HIGH is only open for DSA I believe. Your girl has a chance for RV but if that does not happen, Nanhua and Commonwealth are nice options that are relatively near your house.

Thanks for the reply.
I hope to get IP school, or affilicated to JC if Olevel secondary school.

Is the SIE open or were all spaces taken by CO/WL? NUSH targets 250+ and A* in Math/Science so I think it depends on the subject scores.

What is \"Is the SIE open or were all spaces taken by CO/WL?\"?
He only A for sci & math, may be no chance[/quote]See below. NUSH fills almost all, if not all, of its seats via DSA. If there are still spaces available after the DSA CO/WL choices are made and allocated, they will open the \"SIE.\" NUSH does not participate in the S1 posting exercise.

My niece scored 239, no HMT. What are the Sec schools options for her?
TIA[/quote]

If your niece prefers girls' schools, I would recommend: CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent (238), CHIJ St. Joseph's Convent (237), Paya Lebar Methodist Girls' School (Secondary) (237), Tanjong Katong Girls' School (237), Geylang Methodist School (Secondary) (231).

If your niece prefers co-ed schools, I would recommend: Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Secondary School (238), Presbyterian High School (236), Zhonghua Secondary School (236), Temasek Secondary School (235), Tanjong Katong Secondary School (234), Xinmin Secondary School (234).

Hope this helps!

Will have to focus on S1 selection then.
