        Hi kiasuPumpkin, based on last year, results for both RI and HCI were released via email. On RI website, it is also stated that no information on application status or outcome will be provided over the phone.

              DD is in an IP school, year 1. She has tuition for Maths and her GPA was above 3.8. Most of her friends have tuition in at least one subject, especially Chinese. IP tuition are not cheap and I hope I don’t have to add on. She mentioned that she need tuition for Maths because the teaching pace is fast. She read up the notes ahead of the lesson and tries to complete homework during free period. She worked on the past year papers for revision. Academically, I don’t think she has an issue. She DSA via science but her PSLE score met the cut-off point. So far, she say there is no need for additional tuition as she is coping.


              I think if the child meet the cut off point for the school, should be able to cope with the IP curriculum for that school. Maybe need tuition in 1 or 2 subjects.

                How about MGS IP, anyone heard or received CO? Thanks.

                2 years ago, they (1 of the interviewers) called successful applicants, followed by a letter of offer. No email sent. For this year you may want to check with mgs.

                    Hi all,

                    My daughter has given WL in TKGS. Anybody is in my situation who has been offered WL in DSA schools ? How about our chances of getting into the same school?
                    Anyone have past experience with WL for DSA?
                    Thanks

                      You chance depends on how many girls decide to take up their CO

They said that if a child needs constant pushing and multiple tuition in order to do well, then the child may struggle in the IP. Minimal teaching doesn't mean uncaring.
