according to my friend, yes, GEP has higher % of boys than girls.

But i don't know it is because the boys score higher or because the selection % is higher.

Anyway he had agreed to go for the selection test. Told him no point worrying about it now, just do his best. He may not get selected (& we are already very happy that he made it to second round). If he qualifies, we can still choose to go or not after the briefing.

Good!! Just go for it.

Hi Jar,

:congrats:

Good for him to get the experience. Tell him that he should feel proud that he made it to the Top 4000 students and that his well being will be definitely be considered should he qualifies after the 2nd round.[/quote] :thankyou:
He is ok now, just dread the feeling of having to relocate to a new school if he clears round 2(not that he will definitely qualified since his strength is on Math only). Think I am more excited than him. I hope they will have program for those who can clear round 1 but not round 2 that he can join.
