I think I know why DS's school the average for SAI is so low cos they add in social studies and divide by 5.

it does not matter, the DSA school knows how to adjust it

Yes. For now, RI chapter is closed since we completed both GAT and interview. We are awaiting results of HCI shortlisting.

Publica,

You mean the GAT and interview were held on the same day? My DS had not received any notification yet, n he had above 80% so looks like those who went for GAT need not wait as long as those who scored above 80%. Sigh!

Hi RSS, r2010 and Paddy Field,


DS applied through sports domain so the process is different from the GEP. He did his interview last Sat. He thinks he did ok but was told that they have overwhelming response for DSA sports this year. Was told to work hard as the teacher mentioned that he could get in through own merit, i.e. PSLE. Looks like the chance is very remote.

What about the sports trial for that particular sports ?
If he impressed them the chance should be good.

Paddy Field:

Just had a bad experience with DHS.


I had yet to submit my DS application as I was not sure whether we need to submit the IRS report as I read from rosyth school that DHS wants the report. Furthermore, My DS' IRS project was selected for exhibition, but the school gave me only 1 copy of the final report, which he may need to bring for interview as part of his personal portfolio.

So I called DHS to find out so I can go bind another set if they want it. But the person in charge was so rude. With a frustrated tone, she kept saying she does not know what IRS is ... what I m talking about.

With such rude staff, I'm skeptical over the kind of students they'll produce.

It was unlike HCI who answered my queries politely and ensure that my doubts are clarified.

So far, I send email to <[email protected]> ... always get reply within the day, even if I send at night, I get reply within the night(*gasp*).
