Hi Dharma,Hi turquoise,
According to my girl, her classmates have not heard anything from RGS yet. RGS may have notified successful applicants from the GEP first.
Thanks. I don't know how many from GEP got confirmed offers from RGS but I hear many who applied were accepted. -

The top girl from 6F and at least 2 others from 6E received offers from RGS. Seems like very few from RGPS mainstream get in to RGS via DSA. -

That's great that a few of them got in. Did they just find out? More will get in via their PSLE results I'm sure. -

My girl just found out yesterday. I guess so, if they do well enough.Hi Dharma,

Any stats on how many mainstream girls got in last year. There were 1 or 2 parents who were grilling the P during the parents briefing for the stats. Said that details would be put up in the website. Never saw it.
In 2007, 10 from my girl's class and maybe another 8 to 10 from 6F made it to RGS after PSLE. -

Did your P6 daughter get into RGS via DSA? Congrats!
No idea on stats. The P said at the briefing that she would put up the list of schools with and without GEP. She said she wouldn't put up actual numbers because she didn't want that info up in a public arena. -

Oops! Apologies. Misread your reply. Anyway, I'm sure she'll do well enough at PSLE to go to the school of her choice. Prelims are over! Phew! -

No pbm turquoise. Actually, we did not expect her to get thru. She is just above average but slowly improving. P5 was a difficult year for her as the success of my #1 in PSLE the year before left a negative impact on her. Friends and relatives made did not make things easier as comparisons are always being made. Even in school, she is known as the sister of #1 by some teachers. Being very sensitive, her confidence level was affected and started to drop. It showed clearly in the P5 SA1 and SA2 exams. It was sure a tough time for my wife and I as we tried to make her believe in herself and to stay focused. By god’s grace things started to get better this year and slowly we begin to see some light at the end of the tunnel.
I sure hope that she performs to the best of her ability. RGS is a far shot for her but looking at SCGS/ MGS, if she does well enough.
You’re right …what a relieve now, after the science paper this morning. But still not over yet,….Higher MT on Wed. -
Hi Dharma, I’m sure with your encouragement your daughter will do well. Sometimes it’s best that the two sisters not study in the same school so as to minimise comparisons. SCGS and MGS are both excellent schools, both with School Based Gifted Programmes.
