PowerPuff Mum:
tussle for student enrolmentcascada:
My friend called up RI and was told that selection test on 24 Jul will be held in the afternoon (indicate say what time though) as the school has some other event on that morning. Guess this info still doesn't help if NUSH camp is whole day (till late afternoon as told by another friend whose DS attended it 2 years back).
It's crazy , right? If a child get into both....you will have no choice but to choose one at this early stage and may lose out on the opportunity..doesn't seem fair to me. -
Yesterday my wife tell me that the total number of gep pupils who get NYGH DSA offer without interview is between 50-60…

Happened last year too. Clash in dates for NUSH and NJC. Both refused to budge. In my niece's case, it was easy. Drop NJC. Their loss.cascada:

Which school is your dd from?Hi there
Anyone who dd is in GEP, but did not called up for interview at NGHS. Mine was one of them. DD classmates 11 of them confirmed without any interview. RGPS also the same numbers. How about Tao Nan, Henry Park, Nanyany Primary,Rosyth Primary,ST Hilal GEP students. Would appreciate if you can provide the number if you know. -

Total GEP girl for the seven GEP school is 188. That say 60 got into NYGH DSA without interview, there are still about 128 GEP girl who are either waiting for interview, went for interview but still waiting for the result or did not apply for NYGH at all. Need more informations from parents inorder to get the exact figures. -

So between RI/RGS and NUSH, which one will you drop?[/quote]Depends on the child's aptitude and interest. While my niece is very strong in Math and Science, she also had a strong interest in the humanities. After attending both Open Houses and talking to teachers and understanding the curriculum of both schools, she chose RGS over NUSH. ( She was offered DSA to both schools. ) She is now very happy at RGS and loves Humanities.

In the end, you may not even get into the school u chose for the 2nd round. There goes the opportunity for the other school and you get thrown out to the supplementary stage for both schools. That will be painful to say the least.

parents would only know their own ds/ dd is in or out, and not all dsa parents are on ksp.com
