Buddhist:

Assuming one has CO from both HCI and RI, which would be the choice?


Not sure about past years, but for 2017 DSA, HCI has imposed a very high standard for Maths & Science domains. Must be gold or platinum winners at Olympiads in order to be even shortlisted for HDP. Thus, there will have many top-calibre Maths/Science students to spur their schoolmates. Additionally, HCI has traditionally been known to strongly promote Chinese culture, language and values, which (in the current China era) is a big plus point. So I guess (just a guess) HCI has an edge over RI in terms of DSA acceptance.

This is what we call a \"happy problem\". I would weight the factors such as school culture/fit, distance from home, programs etc. to see which is more suited.

thx mummy of 3


Can i know any good schools to recommend near Bishan, Sin Ming Road area ?

Ai Tong School along Sin Ming Ave, but it is very \"hot\", likely ballot under Phase 2B and 2C for <1km.

Fur-ma:

blmg:

As at 3pm, from Ai Tong's website,

50 applicants within 1km vying for 20 vacancies.

I was no. 51 We were at the school by 2pm and just sat outside the office undecided what to do. 40% chance at AT vs 100% chance at KCPPS. Anyway I just felt the dd will be happier at AT so going for it. Think my head has to be examined :roll:

Now praying that Fri balloting will be successful

Wish you lots of luck!

For Ai Tong <1km, chance at 2B is around 35-40% and chance at 2C likely to be about 20-25%.
