2010 DSA(Direct School Admission)

[ksno1]

Hi, Does any one know if i have not received call from NYGH or email from RGS until today, it means we dont have to wait any more?


My DD applied for both schools via Academic path. But no news so far...

Would appreciate it if anyone can let me know. thanks.

Yep, DD's GAT on 17/7.


tingtingmum, tea session at 5 pm ; how abt yours ? Wonder how big is the group and is DD supposed to go around and talk people - she's shy (luckily no interview; she was so relieved but upon hearing abt the tea session; she frets again...).

According to website, interview session is still going on; so still got chance.

Hi ningy, thx for yr reply. DD's session is at 5pm too. DD's 2 classmates are also invited for the same session. do not know how big the group is. hope they will enjoy it.

In the previous tea reception, RGPS dominated the group. DD has 11 classmates going this wednesdayand twice as much from other GEP classes. So, I'd say, quite alot...? :?

Looks like a mass migration. I wonder what factors drive them to do so. Any guesses?

KiaSu Friend, well, from what i heard last yr, most GEPers applied more than 2 sch (for girls : RGS, NYGH and NUSH) and it seems like majority finally chose RGS although they got confirmed offers for all 3 sch. That’s why those in waiting list have a very high chance of getting into their prefered sch.

Thank you very much for a quick reply, ningy.

Now I understand the process better.

That's true. Most get offers from more than one school and many will choose RGS. However, my underestanding is NYGH has no waiting list.
