The HK super kid was DS1 CCA mate. Left mid last year back to HK university. A very accelerated kid, very advanced in math I heard.[/quote]He top the y5 cohort maths, the Y4 cohort physics and y1 MT when he was in Y1.
That's right my DD Y3 cohort strength is only 158. 2 out of the 129 from original Year 1 left. One is super HK kid at age 15 with accelerated Y5 maths and Physics apparently got accepted by homeland H K University.walterp:

Don't mean to throw a wet blanket - I am not sure of your theory but I do know that NUSH emphasizes on quality more than quantity. I know, at least for the past 3 years, the total enrollment for Year 1 intake (DSA + post PSLE) was less than 150. this means that intake via DSA was less than 140. Not NUSH practice to fill up all the vacancies.
Each year, NUSH has the flexibility of adding 50 students at Year 3 - maximum cohort size from Year 3 onwards is 220 However, this year cohort size of Year 3 is less than 160.
The other PRC left for home after Y2.
So only 127 + 31 new Y3 students are accepted into the cohort this year. You can see that NUSH really emphases quality and not quantity. The new Y3 students also need to undergo a year of additional bridging courses for Maths, Physics and Chemistry. Out of the 31, let not not forget MOE usual practices of recruiting a certain no of Vietnam, PRC scholars. -

I think its the second time. NUSH has made it to the finals ( 2008 or 2009 ) they made it to the finals too. -
DSA Interviews suppose to be up till 6pm today. I don’t think there will be any update before that, unless the school does it by batches.

But just wondering will the school change the selection system for this year?For those going for interview is definitely a good sign. This shows that NUSH is very interested in those kids, as they are strong academically but might not doing well in the camp. Just like post PSLE, kids have to go for interview after being selected.
Last year, my colleague's DD didn't go for interview also got CO.
I mean all those went for the interview will be decided either a CO or WL.
Not being called up is consider as game over.. :roll:
