Dear all,
After my last posting, we went ahead to apply to SCGS via Violin for my DD with testimonial from the CCA teacher-in-charge.
Just received email for my DD to participate in their GAT on this Saturday.
Will see how far my DD will progress from here. -

now she have to practise and get ready for audition if being selected.
BTW, any preparation she needs for the GAT test?
Thanks! -
realwhiz:
No need to prepare for GAT lah. But she will still be shortlisted from it, is it?now she have to practise and get ready for audition if being selected.
BTW, any preparation she needs for the GAT test?
Thanks!
Audition should be ok, right? Just perform one of the pieces that she is currently working on. Or does she need to perform more than 1 piece? -
No idea but reckon she cannot do too badly for the GAT.
No information on audition yet. Email will only be sent out later, after the GAT -

Doesn't SMOPS Platinum stand a very high chance in getting CO for DSA, despite 79.x in SA1?[/quote]high chance for HCI DSA but not for RIBlur Dad:
[quote=\"RSS\"]Hi blur dad, did your friends ds with sa 79.x and maths award eventually get into ri from wait list status? My ds same case above 79.5 below 80 with platinum snips and grade 8 piano achieved two years back. Looks like he will be on waitlist. I will prepare him for waitlist status after the interview. But would like to know chance if on wait list. His p5 was 83%. Thanks
Hi RSS
Don't worry, I have not finished the 2nd part of the story yet.
Yes, my friend's DS has placed RI-WL as his 1st choice in the DSA form(not sure what is the form call), eventually got into RI. Only knew the result on the day when he received the PSLE result. I guess due to his DS result was in high end of 79.x%, therefore his WL ranking is very high, would be the first few to consider when someone give up the place. While one of his DS classmate, who score was lower then him, also on WL but did not get into RI even he selected RI-WL as first choice.
Base on your DS result and awards, I guess he stands a very good chance to get into RI. Not to worry....
All the best. -

hey, it's only bc different schools have different criteria, so I've not thot about it. RI uses 4.0 max GPA, but other schools use 4.2, 4.3, 4.5, so when a parent just randomly gives a 3.8 GPA as very good, it may not make sense to all, KWIM?[/quote]I see. What's the max GPA in NJC? Always curious to learn something new.
What is considered very good in your opinion?jtoh:

Above 3.8 is considered very good? Only in RI, I suppose.

another over generalisation
RI population : sec 1 to 4, 450 each = 1800; + J1 & J2 : 1200 each = 2400, total population = 4200. How many really have tuitions given their very packed time table ? based on 6 RI boys seen coming out from tuition centre ?

as in, chop off a line from a book and make a thesis out of it -

he is in RI, also in Euler program (and Galileo program too, I think)
What school is he in now? If he's in co-ed he must be very popular with the girls.
