i guess your kid studies either in SPCC or DBS. Both schools only offer elite and suitable students to take the IBDP program, I can't see your kid will have any problem.

Put LPCUWC as an example, they took some very good studnts from both DBS and SPCC. Now, those high calibre kids will stay in both DSS schools. Of course, LPCUWC still can fill those places with equivalent capable students from other schools.

No one can handle IB and NSS at the same time, total different curriulum. A school like DBS and SPCC will offer both NSS and IB, but student only choose any one stream and not both.

真道書院 Typical "IB approach" school.......
Sorry no comment.

Add another few articles also from UK related to IB and AL. Have wider and fair comments for us to consider to minimise "Miscomprehension".

My understanding, students with expected score from their IB schools to apply university admission through UCAS (英國聯招、等同香港JUPAS) and based on that they may have a chance for interivew. After interview, the universities will notify the student the conditional offer. those students had an offer with higher score offer may not perform well in the interview. That's what I heard from the Oxbridge Admission Officers in last year's admission seminars in HK.

43 Excellent expected score with under-par interview performance
38-42 Excellent expected score with very good interview performance
Below 38 No chance for interview, Oxbridge (劍橋及牛津大學) stated that their admission based on purely academic not like US system.

In UK, GCE AL with 3As ~30%, 3As only not necessary will have a chance for interview. [ 本帖最後由 ANChan59 於 11-1-17 10:36 編輯 ]
