Wondering where could have gone wrong if she is not granted the interview. SA1 she got A for all her subjects and she is one of the top 5 sport girls outside those who have hand pick by sports school.
My DD also waiting impatiently, keep asking me to check email everyday....G Tan:
[quote=\"canadataboo\"]DD is from the mainstream. Her classmate got email informing her of the date of interview at RGS too. I am wondering do they send out the email in batches for difference date of interview?
She was upset not getting the email for the interview and we told her the school might be sending email for interview out in batches.
Any comment from parent here?
Stress..................
:gloomy: :gloomy: :gloomy: :gloomy: :gloomy: :gloomy: :gloomy:[/quote]why so stressed ?
sports DSA are meant for top few at national level for their respective sports
if you are outside the group....I would suggest you manage expectation and don't put so much hope - that is more detrimental. Just go study hard for the PSLE. grade A is a wide range below A*. -
I don’t know whether I am doing the right thing, I don’t update DD on DSA matters. She went for auditions early July. So far no news.
She is busy preparing for prelims, I don’t want to distract her. Afterall, when we decided to DSA, I already told her not to take it so seriously, just try the best. -

She clocked 80 hours training per month and averaging 85 for all her subjects. I can't be asking for more.
Guess just have to move on and seek alternative route. -

GEP & Platinum for SMOPS get rejected ? :yikes: Really scare me
For yr ds classmates who did not receive the CO fr nus high, are they good in maths and science?leeven:
[quote=\"PiggyLalala\"]
My DS is from GEP too. together with him there are few of his class mates in the camp but unfortunately they didnt get . So NUSH dont see GEP/NON GEP. It is based on the Test & Camp and DC profile.
And my another friend's DS is from Main stream got CO too.
But I do know they will only give entry to Einstein Club to those who perform well in NMOS/SPSO.....[/quote]No direct entry pass for Einstein Club. Last year, my DS classmate who was in Einstenin club was not given a CO or WL. Another case that I knew, there was a parent in KS forum also face the same faith. If you interested you might want to do a search, I rememeber the parent name was \"RSS\".

You didn't mention which sport your dd is DSAing under. Is your dd a National medallist? If she managed to procure gold, silver or maybe bronze at the National Schools and has a consistently strong showing in her CCA, then assuming she did alright in GAT she should have a chance at an interview. The school calls up students in batches. So hang in there.

btw, has your dd heard back from MGS? -

Yes, rather surprising he got rejected with Platinum in SMOPS. Maybe he didn't do that well for the Science portions. Then again, there have been cases of students with Platinum in SMOPS getting rejected by other top schools too. Maybe there needs to be a Diamond award in SMOPS if Platinum is no longer exclusive enough. :evil:[/quote]I think the value of SMOPS has dropped. Too many out there. Throw a stone might hit a few students with SMPOS awards :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

My ds's friend (GEP) was awarded platinum for SMOPS but was rejected by NUSH. Don't know what he got for NMOS or RIPMWC though. But I do know they will only give entry to Einstein Club to those who perform well in NMOS/SPSO..... -

That's why I understand how she is feeling now.

Dd attend interview at Nygh on Monday. What is the next step? When will we know the result?
Just wait and no need to do anything.
One of my DD friend asked nygh principal and she said school will release the result after PSLE oral test (17 Aug). -
