      Funx3:
      My Gal went for the RGS interview today.

      For Her DSA thru CCA - RG, Understand there R 8 gals Shortlisted.

      Split into 2 interview sessions - 4 Gals Each.
      With 2 interviewer + 1 CCA Gym T in-charge to 4 students & the interview took about 30 mins.
      Btw, OrangeJuice, Your dd fren is in the Same Interview Group as my Gal.

      They R Seated in the Order that they were called in.
      No Fixed order for Answering Q asked. Anyone can Speak up first.
      But if Anyone is particularly Quiet, my Gal says the interview panel will direct Q to the gal, giving her opportunities to speak 1st.

      My Gal told me these R the Q asked :
      1) What Achievement R U Most Proud Of?
      2) If I (mean the Panel T) wants to Pick up Gym, What advice will U Offer Me?
      And my Gal says Since most of the Gals give short answers ....
      and The Panel observed that ALL 4 of them R Prefects, they Changed the Topics to ....
      3) Why do U think U R Selected to be your Sch Prefects?

      and the General Q ....
      4) Why Do U Choose RGS for DSA?
      5) Which other school U apply for DSA?
      6) Which Sch is your first Choice?

      And the Final Q ....
      7) What PSLE Score R U Aiming For?

      My Gal, True to Her Nature, Chose to be the Last one to Speak. πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰
      Fortunately she managed to Reply the Q by covering aspects not previously mentioned by other Gals.

      And she told me Her Reply to why she choose RGS for DSA makes everyone (Both Interviewers and fellow Interviewee) Laugh, and Lighten the Session up .... πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰

      And I Thought she's One who doesn't Talk Much, esp in front of strangers .... :roll: :roll:
      Maybe the Panel Will Remember Her For that ....
      πŸ˜† πŸ˜†
      so what did your dd say to make everyone laugh?

        anyone's dd (non-gepers) receive interview offer for academic domain at RGS yet?


        Hi,
        If one (mainstream) was called up for interview, does it mean that she most likely can get in rgs/nygs as long as she can talk well? I m wondering are there failures at this stage?

        There are still girls eliminated at the interview stage. A few years ago one mother was very upset that her dd was rejected at the interview stage and wrote in to the press to complain, saying she took leave to accompany her dd to the interview.

          Good luck to you and DD ! I still havent received any email from RGS 😒 Spoke to DD yesterday and told her to be prepared for rejection and that she shldnt be discouraged, just have to focus on PSLE now.

          Good luck to all children going for final rounds of interview, cheers !

                  My DD is under English domain same as cestmoi's DD and the latter already received notiifcation. So I think my DD's chances are slim but so long as there is no formal rejection email, I am still hoping .... :xedfingers:

                        And Even Ask her, \"Are your Parents Short?\"
