Other good schools never ''kidnapped'' the smart ones from HCI.. coz they do not need to.. More often than not, its the smart ones who chose to go to other good schools.. :evil:

If you are referring to RI as the other good school, I totally agree with you. No need to kidnap, students dream to go there.

I think it depends which school your kid plans on applying to. For boys, places like RI, HCI, ACS, NUSH you will generally find the DSA is for the atheletes or the GEP boys, and for the GEP applicants, even then, it depends what their grades are, whether the primary school has been preparing them for DSA - i.e whether they have been attending competitions, taking on leadership roles, accumulating all the other things that will make their application look good. Blur me, when my DS applied last year, we realised so many things we hadn't done, and not sure why DS didn't know or we were not informed by pschool. So like taking part in competitions, getting at least 80% for p6 half year, having show piece project work , etc DS didn't have. We then found that his cohort of pschool, only a handful in GEP made it through DSA to some of the choice schools, compared with other schools where almost the whole GEP class got through. So its all about preparation for DSA. The whole expereince was nerve wrecking, and worse than applying for uni. Looking back, we wish we had known that we needed to prepare from as early as p4 (which is what other parents seemed to know). Then there is the disapointment of not getting into the school of choice during DSA, and accepting what is not your first
choice, because you have a CO from that school. After PSLE they are cases of boys who regret having accepted the CO they are given even if its not their ideal choice, since they could have made it to their school of choice with their PSLE results. But by then, cannot change.

Hi, may I know which GEP school is that ?

Agree!!! :salute:[/quote]Of course! HCI & RI are equally good schools (in their own unique ways), so no need to compare them always.. Furthermore, there are many other good schools in S'pore too, besides RI & HCI..

What I meant was, the boys who chose to go to the other goods schoolS, all went there on their own accord.. They were definitely not \"kidnapped\" from HCI, by the other good schoolS (plural noun hor)..
