PGID:

any possibility that the COP be lowered since the highest score is 282 ?

The possibility of the COP going up or down is there for every school, but from experience, I still think it will drop that far from 227 to 219, which is 8 points. Think so far, only CHIJ Toa Payoh dropped from 246 in 2009 to 238 in 2010.

If my DS's score is 254+2, can he enter NJC? I've heard that Njc isn't a SAP school and my HCL bonus points don't apply there. is that true? Or should I try my luck for that school

You can't use your HCL points for entry to NJC. So his aggregate is 254 vs last year's COP of 257. Risky? A little.

So NJC offers HCL for all but not a SAP sch, so cannot use HMT for bonus? So sad for dd!

Does she hold any important position in her CCA? 'Cos even though it's not a very high chance, she can still try. Also, TKGS is not bad too! So if Cedar really cannot, she may consider TKGS too since it's quite a good school too.

She was one of the 3 Ex-Co members of the CCA. Haha, yeah..think I am leaning towards TKGS too. hope she gets in though. she has only a point higher than the COP.

Good luck in getting in!

If X went to a school that is his first choice, then he realized in 2011 that he doesn’t like it. Can X choose to go to his second choice school in 2011?

PGID:

any possibility that the COP be lowered compared to last year ? I hope it does.

Also I dont understand why the cut-off for affiliated schools is so far from those non-affiliated ... it isn't fair.

What to do, that's the way things are. That perhaps explains why Primary Schools with Affiliation are more popular due to the priority status.

my daughter got a T score 0f 234. she was very disappointed as she expected to get into Cedar. cedar is definitely not an option now. what other schools do you suggest we consider?

some schools in my mind: TKGS, CHIJ TP, Tanjong Katong Sec, CHIJ Katong.
is it possible for her to get into tkgs? their COP is 233.
thanks in advance

Tkgs is a gd choice - well my elder one is in that sch! If u dont mind 'chinese' schools, then Nan Chiau can be considered. I actually like Nan Chiau as the cut off may be abt 231 but the school manage to clinch Band 1.

He can try provided there is vacancy in that school. And most probably there will be many pupils appealing as well. The school will usually ask the pupils to do a entrance test to determine which pupils to take in (shd there be vacancy).

I believe it's possible to get into TKGS though your daughter's score is only a point higher than the cut-off point. But if she really wants to get into Cedar, maybe she can try appealing?

thnak u so much for the reply. I called up the school, they informed me that even girls with a score of 240 only have a slim chance of getting in. do u still think I should appeal? she was from contemp dance. SYF Silver.[/quote]Isn't TKGS very strong in dance? Your dd would like it there if so.

Hai Sing's COP is closer to your child's but then again, no guarantee that it would drop 5 points. Oops, sorry, just my humble opinion. :oops: Hope I am not coming across as being very dampening.

Seems like you are targetting Mission Schools, how about Holy Innocents, St Gabriel's.
