How are we sure 150 are for GEP? This is last year figure? Should there be more. There are altogether about 500+ GEP kids every years and the ratio of boys to girls is about 4:2 . So there are about 330+ boy every years and most of them will apply for DSA at RI ? No? Or rather they are likely to apply for RI, NUSH and HCI at the same time and most of them will get double offer at RI and HCI, am I right?ApronMama:

Therefore 112 is for sports DSA and others. If sports DSA = one class, say 30, then vacancies available for mainstream via DSA = 82Cheerfuldad:

1 GEPer can 'chop' so many vacancies, then 300+ GEP boys ... :!:

That's why when someone said mainstreamers got \"equal\" chance for DSA in top schools as Geppers, I do not think it is not really true. A lot of \"top' mainstreamers get into top school via their PSLE score, not DSA as those places are taken up mainly by Geppers.cascada:

Granted, there is always this argument of Geppers having a more rigorous P4-P6 with their enhanced and project-based curriculum. However, to determine if a child is gifted with just 1 P3 streaming exams and accord them the \"privilege\" is not exactly a fair system. I have seen so many truly gifted child being \"by-pass\" by this system, and the \"hothouse\" ones get the privilege. :shock:
