Don't think so lah.
Maybe the one with SA1>80 but got rejected was the one that answered that he wanted RI becos of parental pressure.
Or the child told them during the interview that he preferred ACSI/NUSH/HCI..........

cestmoi,


Your dd's Chinese is very impressive. Knocked my socks off. Did she apply through Chinese DSA for RGS?

:salute: Hi jtoh,
Nah, DD preferred to apply under English as she felt that it was more 'powderful' :rotflmao: (actually more confident & comfortable)....
She is linguistically inclined but needs more time in maths & sc usually.

Your dd is indeed talented, cestmoi.

Dear xyz_xyz


I think ri dsa is not main for mainstreamer ( academic )
When I received the letter my heart sank and eyes reddened but I tried to control and hide my feeling as I do not want to put stress on my ds ...
Cheers up !!! Let's encourage our ds 加油!加油！加油！Hope our ds could score well for psle . All the best !

Ms Tay

Oh dear. Put on a confident and happy face for your son. Jiayou for his PSLE!

I think there r a lot of surprises for this yr RI DSA!...some with less than 80% got CO & some got low 80% got WL/rejected....so really dont know what's the selection criteria....some kids fall under the \"talented\" or \"all-rounder\" category by many parents' standard...but still got rejected...kinda scary right

It shows that there's no certainty that if you score >80% you'll be able to secure a DSA at RI. 4 years ago, my friend's son scored >80% at GEP P6 SA1 but only got a WL while his friend who was academically weaker all through P4-P6 and scored <80% at SA1 got a CO. My friend put it down to the interview performance.
