GEP 2011 - Screening & Selection

[Laura02]

:congrats: Congratulations to all who have passed the first round!


My dd passed too, but I told her that there's still round two. And there's 4000 students competing for just 500 places! :xedfingers:

At any rate, she's in a school she loves, classmates she's happy with, and dh & I will always love her, whatever happens.

So all the best to all the kids taking GEP round 2.

I think GEP schools always have a larger no. of students making it through Rounds 1 & 2. My ds from neighbourhood school doesn’t have so many, though it’s still higher than the national average of 22. I believe the numbers will all average out to around 4000 for this round. Anyway they are only selecting 500 for the next round, so that’s just 13% of those who make it through this round. Better manage our children’s expectations.

My ds in neighbourhood school, still haven’t heard anything - means no chance?

Some schools give out earlier while others later. Your school may be one of those which wants to give out the letters as children's day presents :evil: :evil:
