Raffles Institution (Year 1-4)

I never heard of Baltimore as gay city but I heard San Francisco is the \"gayest\" city with 6.2% LGBT.

Anyway, :congrats: to Tan Kuan Hian!

No need to be the largest, top 5 gay cities out of 295 cities in USA and top 10 most dangerous cities in USA, enough to give me the goose bumps. But I suppose good training if he wants to be a law enforcer in future.


Anyway, not that anything dramatic would happen, but as a President Scholar, he is like a role model to the young and likely a future leader.

DS gotten a WL for DSA.


Can anyone advise what is the chance of getting it converted to CO ?

Would it be consider as good as a rejection /better to try via T score since it is unlikely people will reject a CO from RI?

The higher the student's ranking on the WL, the higher the chance of it converting to CO.

Not true that nobody will reject RI CO. Some students have multiple COs and they may have a preference for certain schools instead.

For example Solver

I also DSA for HCI. NUSH is my first choice.

Not really. 1 place is likely to be given up, almost 90% as of now. :censored: :evil:

If you add the one that quoted by metz2, that will make it 2 likely cases.

Good luck to your DS.

TQ for your kind words..

Hopefully DS is high on the WL to be able to 'catch' onto those that were given up. :xedfingers:

My daughter (now Yr4) was recently briefed about RAs in RI. Some questions about Science RAs in Yr5:


1) Does RA continue into Yr6? Does it complement or lead into an H3 course? Do students do both RA and H3 in Yr6?

2) What is the independent research component like for science RAs? My daughter is rather concerned about what that might entail.

3) Do science RAs prepare the students for competitions like Olympiads, or is that done separately?

Thanks for any info!
