      Rainbow sky:

      Can I ask after RGS interview, usually won't hear about it until last day ?


      And by this stage, do they still elminate many applicants?

      Just called RGS Secondary.

      Person in charge
      said if P6 students DSA by Sports category : after student attend interview (for short-listed candidates only), just wait for final outcome.
      She didn't say by when will receive outcome. She said \"Wait for outcome, after attend interview\".

      She said for P6 students who DSA not by Sports category :-
      this Half-day-programme is not for everybody, but for selected candidates only, which RGS feel they need to assess further.

      When question her : how they select students to attend Half-day programme, she replied she has no info on this.



      Thank you so much for sharing. Actually, you managed to get a lot out from this phone call! Many don't reveal much on the phone.

            Ganjiongspider:

            For NJC, please call the admin to ask for your DC' CCA domain' s status. According to the admin, they are still in the midst of shortlisting for different domains. For Basketball (girls), notification will be release by Friday tomorow. For Shooting (girls), will be next week, not this week, but still need to call and check their status every now & then. Other sports domain you might have to ask individually.


            Ganjiongspider, have you receive any email from NJC Shooting? My friend's dc also went for trial but haven't receive any news from njc yet.

            I have not receive any email yet. But not pinning any hope...sweat sweat... 😓 Too many pro- shooters & my DD fit in their criteria \"no prior experience is required\".....haiz....

              Anyone in same shoes as me? DS not called for interview at NUSH n did not receive rejection email.


              For those who went for NUSH interview, any inkling when they will release results? :frustrated:
              If there is a tea session on 12-Aug, then CO and WL most likely will be informed 1 week before, probably by this Friday.

                Don't worry, they are probably in the midst of sending out the emails. Your dd also applied to other schools on other domains right? All the best!! :rahrah:

                  Taurus:
                  Anyone rec'd email for interview from DHS under Performing Art (Chinese Orchestra)?

                  From my conversation with the 3 persons (at least a teacher from DHS and a teacher from Shangyin Music School) during the DHS-Performing Arts (CO) audition, the indication given to me is that there will be no call-up for interview. Results of DSA will be released at end of Aug.

                  I was also told that this year, there are many students who DSA through CO, perhaps due to the removal of GAT.

                  But if you are following this threads, some parents commented that they had (or their friends had) received email notification. Last email sent was supposed to be on 30/7/17, Sunday.

                  I'm not sure if we can assume that what I understood (no interview) is correct. Or perhaps no email really means no chance. I'll take it as 'no chance'. Who knows for those who did not receive interview-notification, there may be a pleasant surprise on 31/8/17 (for those still wishing for a glimpse of hope).

                  We should now concentrate on the coming PSLE oral exam and school's prelim if we do not receive notification for interviews.

                  All the best to those who are selected for interview in whichever schools or domains!

                      I also learnt that some applicants only went for HDP without interview (For academics applicants)

                        Someone wrote earlier that this year MOE requires all applicants to go through same selection process, so is RGS allowed to exempt some applicants from HDP? Or there is no such MOE requirement?

                        Anyway some RGS interviewees, who were not called up for HDP, have received rejection emails.

                        On the RGS DSA webpage, it is specifically stated that HDP is \"Only for selected applicants of academic, music and visual art talent areas\". http://www.rgs.edu.sg/admissions/admission-to-rgs/year-1-via-dsa
                        Not too sure about the MOE requirement - perhaps it is referring to the removal of GAT which is compulsory from 2018 applications.
