any mainstreamers received reply from rgs???

...dd's tuition mate from CHIJ katong went for the interview the previous saturday...so dd says that she got no more hope....quite demoralising for her...surprisingly she has won many awards for english...including 2nd Prize winner for Commonwealth essay....and she lost this.....may its just DSA (Different Standards Apply).....but congrats to all those who crossed the bar!

Don't be disheartened. I know a girl who has a similar story to your DD. She went on to score 27plus in PSLE and is now in RGS.

Perhaps RGS is confident that she will get thru via PSLE & is reserving DSA slots for those who may not. That's what I heard wrt to this other girl last year.

Lucky for us - there is a standing order on a prescription for thermal mud bath for all KP parents.. guaranted to work against wrinkles, prevent white hair... I heard it is cooling and a wonderful stress reliever as well!

So far, has any enterprising KP parent scooped buckets of thermal mud from sugei buloh, and packed the thermal mud into small packs to be sold at this forum? :please:[/quote]If I have a hundred preorders here I will go & pack. Any taker? :evil:

Calm and serenity from mud before the explosion of events awaiting us in the weeks ahead.

And all the mummies who use the mud packs or visit the mud spa will be known as \"kiasu MUDders\"? ;)[/quote]

Firstly hugs :hugs:
Secondly I am not sure which stage your DD has advanced to.
For those who didn't cross GAT hurdle, that is the first cut.
They received over 1000 portfolios, they will not open each one and see who is who. So those who don't cross that GAT hurdle -they do not even open the portfolio and realize that a DD is so talented.
For those who sat for tests but did not get called for interviews, it's a number game- very few seats.
It's not that she 'lost' this chance, see it from the angle that she gained experience ...
We have reiterate many times that mainstreamers have slim chance in this DSA game. We have calculated a few times for all to see how few seats there are for our mainstreamers in DSA.
Your DD remains the talented person she is, nothing has changed.
Work hard and go via S1 - that's the main route mainstreamers go through.
Work towards that 26x or 27x :rahrah:
