RI does not do O levels, do they ?


scholarship interviewees from other schools' output don't need to think out of the box ? what is out of the box to one may be in the box to others, no ?

intense internal competition means cannot shine ? why the necessity to shine ? why must shine (and show off??) ? so what if some one who shine in another school so brightly but yet cannot get an single A in the A levels ? so what is the point about shining ?

so if 200 out of 1200 all get GPA 4.0 (RI's max score) and all gets perfect score of 90 for NUS admission, anything wrong ? is it a weakness if half the cohort get 3 or 4 distinctions? so if half the faculty of medicine and half the faculty of law are from RI graduates, anything wrong ? It also means the other half faculties are from other schools, anything wrong ? Anyone who wants to get into those faculties will just need to complete for it, by merit.

at least if one is sick or gets into trouble with the law, half the doctors or half the lawyers can help him/her....not bad lah!

in any city and every city, there are super school / elite schools that the very bright / brightest gather, it is a natural thing. like it is said, iron sharpen iron, from there it produces excellencies and advancement in knowledge. I dare say those in RI who are among the top scholars and top scorers are doing much more beyond the normal A level scope and they deserve what they score. anything wrong in working hard to score well? and play hard too !

Entrance to RI via dsa can be achieved during psle, sec2 and 0-level intake during jae.

In this instance must use another analogy to support my view, you think is eaiser for our chinese imported table tennis talents to represent Singapore or China? Why do these talents bother to come to here?

care to elaborate on \"we have too many of the same kind in one school\" means?

Ok, I am walking on mine field now. If you have noticed and make an estimation from the number of GEP students that is attending the interview, with a session of 60 students per day, and interview dates are 18, 19, 20, 26, 27 July (was there any other dates?), we have about 300 boys from the GEP cohort, almost everyone are there. And the other cohort of mainstream top achievers getting in through PSLE, my guess work is that they also want to go this school in Bishan, we have the cream (this is the part that I might flame) of Singapore all in one school. All having the same learning ability, maybe some will be better, but the competition is always at the higher level. Don't think you going to see too diverse a learning ability.

Quite confused by your mixing of RI admission versus imported sports talents.

talents follow money trail also

if the population growth rate is above or equal to replacement rate, then it will be easier to discuss the fallen talent, foreign talents, and last but not least, sports talents and spoilt talents

Our imported chinese sport stars must hve weighted their chances of making it to China’s national teams vs-a vs our national teams. Same can be applied to a pupil with Psle T-score of 265 without any art, leadership or sporting talents. His parents hve to weight the probability of their ds being recognised by RI as oppose to other good schs.
'
I share the view of someone in this forum that mentioned what’s the use of a top sch winning all the national accolades if that is not his child.
