AL6 IP - Top Choice RGS or MGS ?
-
Since we’re getting our hands dirty with guesstimates and numbers, here’s my take. Now we know that RGS Y1 intake is roughly 400 and 100% IP. Assuming MGS intake is of similar size and we also know that it offers affiliated students bonus of up to AL 17 (2024 intake), one would assume that the IP intake of the latter to be much smaller.
Having a smaller intake would make it more susceptible to fluctuations in COP. Perhaps we may see the first balloting for AL 5 kids to MGS in future, if there’s an uptake in its popularity.

I’m afraid I wasn’t very clear in my last post. I’m not saying that affiliated MGS students are eligible for IP. What I meant to highlight was that MGS IP intake should be much lesser than RGS since it offers affiliation to students and that is only applicable to the O level track.

Thanks for confirming that MGS IP intake size is about 1/3 of RGS. Wouldn’t this make MGS IP more competitive to get in?

Congratulations to your daughter on performing well in PSLE. Both schools are great choices and will provide a holistic and well rounded education for your child. I think you should allow your daughter to make this decision for herself - it seems from your post that she is mature and conscious of what she believes she wants / will make her happier.
The only point that may be worth mentioning as another parent pointed out is that MGS IP will lead to the IB program which will have a different curriculum and syllabus from A levels. That being said, both are well recognized and can lead to good university placements if your child performs well.
All the best!
