emm...RI will normally take in how many geppers thru dsa?

hard to tell, only guesstimate :

50% of 450 vacancies are for DSA, = 225. Sports talent are normally via DSA...so that takes away 30 to 40 places ....balance 185 to 195 places are for GEP and mainstreamer .....and not all GEPpers get in via DSA, and they have 7 GEP classes, each class has about 4 to 5 mainstreamers, so number of GEPpers = 7 x 25 = 175 approximately ....If, and it is a BIG 'if', all GEPpers come in via DSA, then the balance for mainstreamers at DSA = 10 to 20 places ?

but anyway it is just an guesstimate and surely not all GEPpers get in via DSA

This question was posed to the RI principal before and her answer was:
- yearly RI takes in about 150 - 180 GEPpers via DSA
- about 1-2 class of sports (understand this year there are really quite some sports talents and RI is thus more stringent in this category)

The rest for outstanding mainstreamers which work out to be 1 class or less. VKS2010 numbers is about right. That is why it is known that for RI / RGS, it is easier for mainstreamers to get in via PSLE results than via DSA route.

Looks like there are many \"giraffes\" (long-necked parents) in this thread..... :rotflmao: Stay cool parents! :imcool: The DSA process may be all the way till end Aug, long way more to go!

the neck will be shortened after Nov 24 or 25, or latest by Dec 22 or 23 :evil: :evil: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:[/quote]Hopefully, not many more wrinkles / lines appearing on the neck after the \"shortening\" :laugh: :rotflmao:

Blur Dad:

If all GEPers are in iSparks then the number is quite small compare to RI

For Sec 1, total about 81 students only.I guess RI has about 170+ students.

The figures look about right. HCI + RI total about 250+. Total number of GEP boys about 330. So remainder of abt 70-80 boys in ACSI, NUSH, DHS, SJI...
