Last year, all of my son’s gepper classmates who were on RI WL, were eventually given places in RI on PSLE result day.


While ‘past performance does not guarantee future result’, there is no need to lose hope.

All the best for those on RI WL!

My ds got waitlist as well.


Half of his class and the next class got CO from RI yesterday.

He is obviously upset and did’t want to talk about it.

Cheer Up !! All is not lost ! WL is just as good. Put it as first choice, should be able to get it on posting date ...... I believe they do adjust the cut off point at S1 posting to take in the WL

Me 2, received the same email from NJC....

anyway, anyone here has any idea what is installed at the day activity? What do they look for? Anybody has any statistics on no. of students shortlisted for this activity n interview and how many will be accepted after this round? Trying to figure out % of getting CO....

The first email (send this morning) I received for Day Activity is correct; no mistake :
--------

The second email send 4 hours later for phase 2B interview has the same 1 January 1970 problem and the email does not state date of interview.

Tea session on 5 Aug - attended by about 100 girls (majority GEP, counted only 2 from mainstream).


Tea session on 12 Aug - attended by 104 mainstreamers

Therefore, confirmed offer given to about 204 girls (maybe some absentees or decided not to turn up since already have COs from other schools).

My impression was that most of the girls for the first tea session also have CO from rgs. Assuming equal split between NYGH and RGS, then maybe about 50 girls on WL would get a CO from NYGH eventually.

Hi Pinky88, at NYGH tea reception, Mdm Heng was saying that the sch received up to 1000 applications but only 210 places allocated to DSA. So again, she has urged the parents/dd to let her know early if they are not taking the offer so that the place can be given to WL.

In addition to the above, I hv counted abt 104 mainstreamers today (seated in 26x4 rows) NY pri sch has the most nbr allocated with at least 10 students. The sec ones were v busy impressing on my DD abt sch ccas & curriculum. It's a knowledgable visit for her. :boogie:

Hi Cestmoi, my dd applied thru academic.

Hi vanilla mum,
Did your DD DSA for RGS as well?

Wa! u are fast! no, only let her try NYGH bcos hv the impression that RGS girls are difficult to control sorry, no offense to DDs in RGS, just my personal view.[/quote]

Hi vanilla mum,
Just curious.....why do you have the impression that RGS girls are difficult to control? DD has a CO from RGS so would appreciate your input. Can PM me if you like :evil: .....Tks.[/quote]

Hi Vanilla mum,
Any more info on RGS girls? 3 years ago, i did not allow my older DD to go in cos this is precisely my impression of the girls there (NO OFFENSE - MY IMPRESSION). As both my girls are in RGPS, they wanted to go to RGS. Now my younger DD turn. I dont think she has any chance of getting into RGS through DSA. She is a lazy bum. Other than reasonably gd result (GEP), she doesnt have much achievement. I dont believe in forcing unfortunately.

But i believe, base on her PSLE result eventually, she might have a good chance of getting into RGS.

My older girl went into MGS SBC though qualify for RGS. I'm now in a dilemma.

Any one here goes through interview in MGS?

[fruitteller]

came back from tuition with following stats :

Class of 12, 4COs, 5WLs, 1 rejected, 1 did not apply, 1 no letter yet[/quote][/quote][/quote]

Hi,

Are most of the boys from GEP?


Thanks!
