      first of all, thanks for well wishes and also to those who helped clarify on ACS admission priority.


      Sorry, can anyone share with me how does MOE allocate the choice of schools to GEP students. For eg for PSLE, it is by meritocracy ie scores but for GEP how do they do it ? is it first by affiliation, then by distance from home to school ?
      Oops just saw jtoh's clarification in response to someone's similar query, noted that allocation details will be shared during MOE briefing..my apology!

        My DD came bck from school today with a package regarding her being selected for GEP.


        Halfway through reading those GEP info I already feel stressed haha! I told my DD to take the GEP for fun and experience as I dont expect her to get selected.

        So now, we have to make a decision within the next few day. As usual I turn to my most trusted grandmaster, Mr Google for help and he directed me to here.

        100 over pages to read! Now I am even more stress!

        I just need to know, go or no go?

        Btw, FMSP 10 selected.

            2002 birthrate is 40,800. So it’s actually > 1% if 500+ students were chosen to join GEP

              Bullhorse, thanks for the update. Hope some parents can ask MOE during the briefing, what's the total no. of students selected this year. I have also heard about MOE reducing from 1% to 0.5%, but do not know how reliable is this piece of news. Congratulations to parents of GEP students and also congratulations to the selected students. Hope to hear more from this group of parents after their GEP briefing. Thanks, interesting findings.


              Pei Hwa last year also around 16 selected, from this year figure we can guess still 1% is reasonable.

                  I was surprised by DS to received the yellow envelop too as over the last weekend I was preparing him not to pin too much hope on it after seeing his SA2 results.


                  Like what vlim had said, we are now stuck if the situation to choose to move out of his current sch a GEP sch or not, what’s the chances of our transfer. We have now shifted house this year.

                    Hi Prettydol,

                    So you more or less make up your mind to send your kid to GEP? I am worried that my DD will not be her happy cheerful self after she go GEP. If she is not happy, I will not be happy also. She will also miss her friends and all that. Already some of her friends bidding her farewell today already!

                    I think we will discuss with her again tonight and decide after attending this Saturday's talk. Dateline is 16th Nov yah? My DD told me her teacher asked that we submit the signed form tomorrow??
