Another question, For mainstreamer need to pass GAT then can go interview or same as GE boys? Sorry just want to understand the procedure. TIA.

GEP kids doing RI DSA :

Pri 5 / 6 above 80% = no GAT, go straight for interview if shortlisted

below 80% = take GAT, if clear GAT = go interview if shortlisted

if clear interview : offered CO

Non-GEP doing RI DSA :

all take GAT : if clear GAT, take subject / domain selection test -- no interview

if do well in subjection selection test, offered CO

My friend's DS is still haven't received any email or sms from RI, but his son is applying under GE domain too, so if based on what you said \"Pri 5 / 6 above 80% = no GAT, go straight for interview if shortlisted\", that's mean he is not shortlisted by RI.

Please clarify. tx

May be check spam folder? Or it may go to the other email + phone no that have been submitted.

Will we be penalized if we tell the interviewer that we have applied for 4 schools including their "rival school".

I would think the $50 is registration for RI DSA regardless of whether one needs to sit for GAT.

[Lovemama]

I agree with sandunes. By collecting $50, I believe all applicants will be going thru at least one of the test, depending on the criteria. For GE students > 80%, they'll go for interview. For GE students < 80% & others who applied thru other domain, they'll sit for GAT.

As to whether there's shortlisting after GAT, then I'm not sure. I've been wondering, especially for sports & music talent, what if they do not pass GAT test but they're really talented? Isn't this unfair to them if they're not selected for the audition/trial?
