This is what happens when we jump the gun and check the website for information. We worry ourselves and the NUSH staff as well.

I don't think there is any \"jumping the gun\". NUSH has structured it such that each NUSH applicant has his/her own NUSH DSA online A/C for the purpose of keeping track of and checking one's status.

I did that a few years ago and checked the online A/C status for my eldest son and that was how I found out that he was offered a confirmed place in NUSH.

Certainly no one expected - and neither NUSH staff too - that NUSH would make a mistake in the notification. It just happened and that's it. So we just wait.

NUSH wasn't ready to inform the applicants yet and in fact, they were planning to email the students only next week. That would probably have allowed NUSH time to check their online form for any errors and there wouldn't have been this flurry of anxious parents calling the school and seeking clarification on this forum. So yes, we did jump the gun and caused ourselves a lot of anxiety. And yes, we should just wait. Patiently.

And hope that the invitation to camp confirmation is not an error. Interesting thing is, everyone I know got a YES in their form. Is that worrying?

A few of my boy classmates received a NO in their online status.

There should be another email from NUSHigh with more details on what to do on 25th July.

I recalled someone posted in this thread that the children would be doing labs work in physics,, chemistry and biology and a Maths paper too.

Last year students have to go thru physics, bio, chemistry, maths, english and general. It was done in 2 half days. Looks like only 1 day this year. Not sure if format will be the same this year.

Last year they were put into groups and worked on experiments in physics, bio and chemistry. Have to write down their findings and answer questions posed by the teachers. Teachers observed their behaviours during the experiments. \"General\" was a project that teams competed with each other. Maths and english (essay) were individual papers. No interviews during the camp but after the camp a few boarderline cases were called up for further interviews.

I guess other than intellectual ability, they are looking for students with the personality suitable for their school. Many participants found the camp fun.

Good luck and hope your kids enjoy the camp.
