[quote=marcolisa post_id=2004052 time=1606305480 user_id=9017]My DS has 251 + 2

Any chance for NUS high?

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.

[quote=marcolisa post_id=2004052 time=1606305480 user_id=9017]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.

There's SIE

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.

My son got 259(261 for HCL). Wonder if it stands a reasonable chance to get RI or Dunman?

:congrats:

He has a good chance to enter RI based on his 259 score (refer past 5 years COP below). However, as COP fluctuates from year to year, there is a chance that RI COP is higher or equal than 259 for 2021 intake.

Should have no issue qualifying for Dunman High based on his 261 (259+2) score (refer past 5 years COP below). Dunman High COP has never reach 261 (based on COP since 2007).

All the best! :rahrah:

Raffles Institution COP
2020 - 259
2019 - 258
2018 - 257
2017 - 260
2016 - 261

Dunman High COP
2020 - 255
2019 - 256
2018 - 255
2017 - 257
2016 - 258

Source of COP:-

Seeing the list above, I think my DS t-score 255 doesn’t stands a chance at all for RI. With 255+3 HCL, Can I try HCI as first choice? He wanted to try 1st RI, 2nd HCI. 3rd Dunman High / NJC.

Appreciate advices. Thanks!

not considering SJI IP?

Heard SJI IP teacher and culture not good. Any comments?[/quote]And you didn’t hear any negatives about any of the other schools in your list. I think you need to be open about it. Seems a pity given the score and the possibility. Of course if you definitely want the A level route then no need to consider

anyone know top score for ACSJunior or ACS primary?

They won't review such info right this year? even for other schools in general. Just curious.
