I was wondering whether SCs are given priority like P1 intake ?

I asked this same question to RI P - Ms Lim. Her answer was \"NO\". All are the same, base on merit.

Yes, I asked this to RI & ACSI. Answer was \"No\"
but for NUSH, Sport school are diff :evil:

Hi, GoodDad. :?:
Thank you for sharing your info with anxious mainstreamers' parents.
Are you referring to the requirement of an SA1 result of 77.6% for getting into the 2nd round? Or getting the CO/WL? (Academic domain applicants sit 2 rounds of tests)
My DS is a mainstreamer, scored 96.5% for SA1, so he has a chance? THANK YOU....

Mamago, GoodDad is referring to DSA criteria for GEP.
For GEP boys according to past DSA data those with P6 SA1>80% likely to get CO, <80% WL. After PSLE, some boys may exercise option for NUSH and HCI and give up RI CO. So he's saying based on last year stats, for those GEPpers with WL scoring 77.6% and above managed to convert the WL to a confirmed seat. However 77.6% is not a fixed number, this year may be higher or lower depending on how many boys give up RI COs.

Mainstreamer academic is totally different game. RI has approx 150-170 seats for GEPpers but only say up to 20 for academic domain mainstream. Rest are for sports boys. Total 225 for DSA. The competition is therefore more keen and not based on SA1 results...must clear GAT, domain tests and interviews then they review the files and see if your son is those top few according to their criteria.
If your son is from a school of average to above average standard, I must say he did fantastically in SA1 ...

Sorry, some correction here. For last year result, based on what I know and what I have gathered from different students and parents. GEP SA1 result 77.6% - 80% were awared WL for RI DSA. Only those with 78.9% above were converted to CO. PSLE T-Score does not matter. My DS classmate SA1 scored 79.8% and PSLE T-score 257 was converted from WL to CO. Last year RI COP for PSLE was 261.[/quote]Thanks much, GoodDad.

Oh dear.... DS is non SC, only PR.... now it sets me thinking of his failed NUSH DSA might have got to do with this non-SC....

Well, it's over and done, there is no way to know... I prefer to think that it's due to DS's incapability....

Thanks PiggyLalala. Stupid me, should have guess that since it's so obvious (related to P1 posting).
