      Once again, HCI open house clash with RI this year, 19th May 2012.

      lol:

      If we go to HCI in the morning for open house and then go to RI in the afternoon for open house :boogie: , will we miss anything important which will go on at RI in the morning?

      in either open house, you should not miss the talk by the admin / principal, other activities can miss

      from past experience, there are specific time slot for the talk, always packed .... you are hereby given advance notice ....

I was there early to get the slot cos it's first come first serve basis. But I don't see such info on both RI & HCI website. I also plan to go HCI first follow by RI. Been to RI last year for Science Olympaid which coincide with open house. But did not manage to attend the talk.

            IP is a 6 year prog with no O level.
            The application date for DSA differs among the schools. You'll need to go to their website to check on the application date.
            There's no cut off point for DSA. The kids need to go through various tests, interview and/or camps depending on each school. Once they pass thru these & are being given a confirm offer by the DSAed school, they just need to accept the school after PSLE. They'll then need to get T-score of 200 in order to get in to the school.

There's still a month to the Open House and they're probably still finalizing the schedule.

                    No difference between chances of mainstream and GEP getting into NUSH.

                      Majority of DD classmates at NUSH year 1 not from GEP (I think safe to say 90%) , so I would say, mainstreamers have an equally fair chance at NUSH DSA as GEPers, as ALL need to sit for entrance test, regardless whether GEPer or not.

                        Alot of the GEP will be targetting RI/HCI/NYGH/RGS/ACSI so that leave not many for NUSH...
