Hi TREX8

Thank you again for sharing.

Not to worry, Your DS is GEPers with >80% for SA1, right?

Base on the number of GEP girls and the number of intake for RGS and NYGH. Most of them will be able to get a CO from either school. Not to worry, your DS stand a high chance to get CO from both schools.

Paiseh, super busy day yesterday, only got time to share share now.


Setting:
2 interviewers to 3 girls. Style is Q&A. Interviewers on one side, 3 girls seated side by side on the other side. Interviewer asked one question, each girl took turn to answer that question, with some prompting from either interviewers when needed). Basically, like what my DD said - like taking an Oral Examination...
[We were expecting a more chit chat like session as I thought that would be more spontaneous, but anyway ...]

Woah. This reminds me that when one of the jobs I applied for in my final year in the university, there was a group interview. I think there were at least 20 of us shortlisted and in the room together. And they just asked us questions down the line! Scary when you have all the others watching and listening to you. *hehe* I was one of the 3 selected for the final interview from that and finally offered the job, but I didn't take up the offer, so they offered another. But I think the whole process was fun. Cannot imagine this type of interview for a 12yo though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Broken but still alive! Another day go by, still no news. We should concentrate on this Saturday's HCI DSA.

Hi TwaTau, Vlim, Paddy Field

For HCI DSA this Sat, may I know your DS is put under Batch A or B?

Thank you

[vlim]

we believe it goes according the the surname alphabet...so if your surname start with B ...it should be cat A. :lol:


my ds in cat B....

[New Girl]

Haha! My daughter sent an email to rgs asking whether she got into the half day selection test. they replied asking us to await the results(shortlisted or not). Basically, not all the girls have gotten the email for the next phase. I am relieved.

[New Girl]

For the GAT for RGS, many girls only finished 30 0r 35 questions. Lucky my daughter did more than that. If she dont get in, it’s fine’. then can concentrate on PSLE. But i hope she does. she "likes"the process, surprisingly. And she wants more of it. Haha! Please do share with me how the other schools are handling the process.other worried parents are asking me.

For those who applied DSA to NUSH, it may be of interest to you that NUSH had two tea reception last year - one was held before the 2nd round half day selection camp and the other was held for those COs. For the first tea reception, only a small group, approximately 50, were invited with their families to attend a talk by the school principal & his senior staff. This was followed by a tea reception in which the staff and some NUSH students mingled freely with the guests. This tea reception was held ahead of the 2nd round and I believe it is a group which NUSH hopes would select the school eventually. Incentives such as waiver of test fees for both rounds were given to this group. If NUSH follows this practice this year, invitation to this tea reception should be out or out soon.
