[quote=\"Ms tay\"]:thankyou: yukilei

I believe what u have said . I heard that gep students totally have no time to play or enjoy their childhood , is that true ? If that is true, they ought to deserve dsa co or wl ..他们付出的代价太大了!!!

Not true. It depends on the student and his parents - what sort of balance do they want? There are students who do nothing but study, go for tuition etc. Then there are those, my dd included, who thrive on activities outside of GEP and schoolwork. These are GEP students who continue to pursue piano, ballet, fencing, swimming, sailing etc. Some just for fun, others on a competitive level. I'm a firm believer in pursuing your passion, be it dance, music etc, as it allows you an outlet outside of schoolwork.

Well said !!jtoh
I really enjoy reading yr post ! :goodpost:

What Mdm jtoh said is correct

Last year my DS also same situation, among the top in smops platinum ranking etc, got international awards in others cca, though he got HCI CO, he later used his psle to appeal in to RI, we got phone call from RI right after the psle result was submitted to RI

So please tell you son to cheong psle and aim for RI

Sure got hope, don't forget the other half of RI intake is via psle

Ha ha no wonder someone had changed his initial position on honoring the CO accepted :siam:

It seems that even a SMOPS platinum doesn't seem to impress RI consistently, at least for last and this year. In fact, has RI ever issued a CO on math? I wonder

Well, the girls' schools seems to like SMOPS platinum very much...I got it, and RGS, NY and NUSH all gave me CO. I'm not even a GEPper.

Seemed like only the GEP students getting the CO from HCI. Anyone from the mainstream receiving the CO/WL from HCI too? I know it is near zero for mainstream to DSA to RI? What about the chances to DSA to HCI? Anyone know of any mainstream students getting a CO from HCI? Please share. Thanks.


To those who had received the rejection lettter. Not to be discouraged. I feel that it may be easier for the main stream to get to RI/HCI through their PSLE score than DSA.

Jia you! Jia you! :rahrah: :rahrah:

My friend did.
