[quote=\"sandradeeSo now my son has got all offers from the 3 schools that he went for DSA-RI, HCI & ACS(I) :lol: So, not true that mainstream students don't usually get DSA. (Plus my son only fr neighbourhood school)

Hopefully this will be an encouragement to students in mainstream for future DSA, that schools do not just favour GEP students. It really boils down to your performance at the selection tests.

A big Congrat !

So what is your domain for RI DSA ? Which are CO and any WL? What are your choice of preference then ?[/quote]

He tried domain in Science. All CO no WL. Definitely going for RI.

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.

Congrats Guthix to ur DS
So what is his choice? is it same as yours?


Since ur son seems a very motivated kid , was wondering his choice...
Just Kaypoh!

No email or postal mail, yet.

My son fr Mainstream also got call fr ACS(I) on Thursday and has to attend talk at 9am on Sat. where they will then give the letter of offer for DSA.

Just Kaypoh! [/quote]He is currently considering NUSHS for the Module System and the accelerated syllabus. I suspect that someone paid him to choose this as he got both COes in RI and HCI to make space for the WL pupils. Then again, maybe I'm juz paranoid...

Haha - u do have some imagination!
So ur choice is clear as is his.

DD doesnt seem decided with CO from NUSH, she wanted RGS but didnt make it. And i am trying hard not to push her to accept NUSH. Bcos that is one sure way to make her decide NOT to accept it. :roll:

Not that I think NUSH is better, but for her I think for her personality it is. Of course what i think does not matter :stupid:

That is why was kaypohing to get cases to support my case, maybe that will directly convince her

Probably just the slight motivation my son needs to change to NUSHS, to create a WIN-WIN situation. I feel my self that NUSHS will suit him better, but it's too far...
