Do you know is there any GEPers in other Consortium other then iSpark?

I heard so. If GEPers did not get DSA offer and later got accepted via PSLE result, I am not sure if they could be detacted and be put in ispark.

the principal always maintained that GEPpers whether via DSA or S1 posting will be in iSpark[/quote]Gepper who got in by S1 posting will also be in iSpark.

hard to tell, only guesstimate :

50% of 450 vacancies are for DSA, = 225. Sports talent are normally via DSA...so that takes away 30 to 40 places ....balance 185 to 195 places are for GEP and mainstreamer .....and not all GEPpers get in via DSA, and they have 7 GEP classes, each class has about 4 to 5 mainstreamers, so number of GEPpers = 7 x 25 = 175 approximately ....If, and it is a BIG 'if', all GEPpers come in via DSA, then the balance for mainstreamers at DSA = 10 to 20 places ?

but anyway it is just an guesstimate and surely not all GEPpers get in via DSA

This question was posed to the RI principal before and her answer was:
- yearly RI takes in about 150 - 180 GEPpers via DSA
- about 1-2 class of sports (understand this year there are really quite some sports talents and RI is thus more stringent in this category)

The rest for outstanding mainstreamers which work out to be 1 class or less. VKS2010 numbers is about right. That is why it is known that for RI / RGS, it is easier for mainstreamers to get in via PSLE results than via DSA route.

Those who have to do GAT will be called up for interview towards the tail end of interviews for GEPpers.
