Your first choice is unlikely to get as 234 is very far off from COP of 243 unless you are prepared to appeal

Hi Bonnie
Thanks for your reply
I am intending to appeal though i still think chances are slim..
what do you think about choices 2-6?

hey,

as the gap between nan hua's COP and your daughter's score is 9 marks off, the chances are incredibly slim. unless you appeal, and the school is willing to accept a student with 9 marks off the COP. also, since both commonwealth and fairfield have a higher COP, it is incredibly risky. also, even if your daughter's marks are higher than that of clementi town and chij as well as new town, your daughter may not be accepted as spaces may have already been taken up. it's rather risky.

nonetheless, if you're willing to take the risk, go ahead. however, my advice is that most likely, your daughter wouldn't be accepted to nanhua. as for commonwealth and fairfield, maybe, maybe not. you may still have to appeal.

good luck

I think your 4-6th choice should be well within your kid's range although we must bear in mind that it is the Dragon year. Hence, competition may be slightly stiffer. All the best anyway!

Nan Hua is really risky. In my opinion, I suggest that you put Commonwealth as 1st choice and appeal. Chances of getting in thru appeal is higher when you have placed them as 1st choice.

Commonwealth is very impressive and not forgetting their million dollar view of the sea

I understand where you are coming from..
It just seems difficult to narrow down other choices to fit dd's cop within range.
