      Good luck to all the girls applying for DSA!


      Girls who applied to NYGH through GEP and do HCL should be hearing from NYGH soon if not already, based on previous years’ experience. Any news?

      All those going for interviews, jiayou!!

        Nus high confirmed with me that ds don’t need to pay for the selection camp and they will even refund us the 50 dollars dsa application because he is in estein club. So we save 140 dollars. Ds is happy and like the school even more. They certainly know how to generate goodwill!

              So, einstein club member need not even pay any fee for DSA! Actually NUS High already know this club members and should actively invite the P6 members to apply for DSA there. These top schools are all having activities to entice top pri school kids to join them - active marketing and recruitment! Can't help but feel that schools are acting more and more like corporations nowadays.

                Not automatic exemption. They have to pay $50 to sit for the first round. If they make it thru, then it will be refunded and camp fee waived. If not, no refund for the $50 fee.

                    Kloggy:

                    Just heard that my DD's classmate (a boy) got a CO from HCI. The boy from GEP and took HCL. Apparently he also did quite well for SMOPS and was invited to attend some camp in the first week of June school holidays.


                    Just to share ......

                    How he was inform he is offered? Through email, letter or infrom by the school?

                    I understand school normally don't give CO at this early stage.

                    I understand it is a phone call from the school.

                      Hi, wonder if someone could help me here?
                      I understand some girls who sat for GAT test in June at RGS have been called up for 2nd round test/interview. My child sat for hers on 9 Jul, when shld I expect to hear from the school ? Or does no news = bad news?

                      Also my child also sat for NYGH GAT and she told me it is identical to the one at RGS. In such a situation, how do the schools decide which test to use as a shortlisting criteria ? do they compare notes or just the the results of the test taken at their own respective school ?

                      thank you !

                      My Gal did Similar tests.
                      RGS specifically say that they will not accept other GAT test results. Only RGS ones.


                      Thank you KiasuGrandmaster III for your reply to my query !
                      But wouldnt that be unfair ? In my girl’s case, since she sat for RGS first and then NYGH, she’d perform better for the latter. This wldnt be fair for other girls who hasnt taken the test before rite ?

                        Kloggy,

                        Dun worry. Your dd stands a very good chance with NYGHS. As far as I know, they told my dd that results will be out end of this month. Anyway, according to previous years, no news may be good news… NYGHS gives CO with no interview for a lot of cases.
