      sama:
      Hi HyperKiasu, there are some primary offered bicep programme (bilingual) starting from P4 and in P5 the school will nonminate some to attend the talent camp organize by HCI. During the camp, HCI will nominate a handful of candidate and selected them as camp leader for the following year camp(ie the child will be in P6) and act as group leader for the P5 group. This group of pre-selected boys will be very high chance for the successful DSA.


      From my understanding, those children who attend bicep programme and pass the DSA critieria will usually be offered a CO or WL. Attending bicep programme is just an entry criteria but to clear the DSA test and interview are the most important factors for DSA.
      thanks sama,
      i guess those must be sap primary sch?

            ngbrdad,

            Aren't you glad you don't have that hanging over your head, wondering when the news is coming in?

            Hope to meet you in ACSI soon.

              yupp, thats right! we have tried calling the school a few times. but they kept insisting that we are unable to check the status. today is the supposed deadline for notification. however, it seemed that they have extended it to the 30th (we only found out when we called)

                NUS High is a good school and I think a better fit for your son if he has an interest in maths and sciences. I know someone who just graduated from there and got a scholarship to Oxford. A very intelligent kid and the research stuff he tells me they do sounds very advanced.

                      No news is better than bad news, right? As it means there is still hope! Wish your DS success in his appeal to RI. Hope your DS (& you) will receive the greatest New Year gift ever, this year! Keep us posted... :hi5:
