Does anybody has information on how HCI conducts their interview? What is the ratio of students to interviewers and the type of questions that will be ask?

is more like a group chit chat session, a few boys from the same school with two / three teachers, very informal, getting-to-know-you type of discussion, the questions have no wrong no right answers, and the answers are of no consequence type......I always joke that the interview session is just to confirm they are not mute and no special arrangement is needed for any special needs

Was told that this is for mainstream pupils. For GEP students it was not like that. Any GEP parents child went thru the interview last yr at HCI? Like to share?

they did not use GAT last year too

the test are on math / science / languages

For mainstreamers, there was GAT last year and before besides math/sc/lang.
For GEP, there were written test free response and interview

Yes. Still waiting

According to my son, a group of his friends plan to take public transport to RI this fri for the GAT after school without the accompaniment of parents.

If that is true than it must be the first group of bo chup parents i encounter for DSA.

My personal experience last year for geppers was that girls knew their DSA results earlier than boys. For instance, some of my son's classmates had already received COs fro NYGH before he was called up by RI for interview some time in end-July last year.

My suggestion for anxious parents is to chill
