Anyone know how long is the wait list for RI?


HCI waitlist 1 is 80 (HCI said 100% accepted provided HCI is selected as 1st choice), HCI waitlist 2 is 62.

I think it is because HCI is sort of taking those minorities of top students that will go to RI and applied for HCI just in case.

agree with Guthix whole heartedly. As far as boys are concerned, at least 90% will choose RI as 1st choice. Usually for this majority, HCI is a 2nd just-in-case choice.

Last year, the GEP boys from son’s school only have 1 school at sight and that is RI. The top 10 boys did not even apply any other DSA, only RI solely - being very confident of their own abilities.
It is usually the parents who would choose HCI over RI for various reasons. There are exceptions of cos.

Is such statistics of preference just your observation from your son's school or reality across P6 cohort? From Guthix's post in another thread, his DS class has a \"stalemate\" between RI, HCI and NUSH?

According to the MOE web-site for DSA (Sec), RGS only offers Express Course, no Normal Academic nor Normal Technical course. Hence, to be in RGS, your PSLE t-score must be at Express Course level, i.e. above 200 (according to past years' records).
