:congrats: to all who got a CO.
DS got a Wait List Offer (1), and need to attend briefing on 25 Aug 5.30pm at HCI.
No CO, WLO also good.
My4Darlings, now is the time to give your boy lots of hugs!
My ds is in Wait List (1) too, same briefing time n date -

But they have limited CO places, I thought most would be given to GEP domain. In any case, my ds only wants to go HCI, he did not try DSA to any other school, so we are really happy for him.
must quickly \"chope\" the students first mah .... else after PSLE t-score is released and many of them get more than 265 and go to Bishan....so must lock them in as much as is possible...many will feel bad to renege on their commitment once they have accepted HCI's CO in October....lolwonderm:
My ds is from mainstream too. Looks like HCI did offer quite a number of CO to mainstreamers. -

Just a funny thot: If I am HCI, I will strategise and make more CO offers to those GEP and HA students staying in the west. Reason: distance and when they have accepted CO, they are unlikely to want to go all the way to Bishan even if their subsequent T-score makes the mark. Anyway, the west is not short of good schs that can supply GEP or HA students too. Hahaha!

But many current HCI students live all over Singapore from the East to the North. Many students do not mind travelling long distance if it is for their dream school.

It appears to me that RI and HCI made more COs to mainstreamers compared to RGS and NYGH. Do you have the same impression?
-
Any min T-score have to maintain for DSA sucessful applicant in order for RGS OR RI to accept?
