Hi ngbrdad,
Will all candidates get an interview that day or only short-listed ones ???
Maybe NJC need time to discuss who will proceed to the interview round??

Good luck! :xedfingers:[/quote]All candidates shortlisted for the day activity will attend the interview as well.

My friend DS who is from mainstream and applied under maths domain, but rejected by RI also. I know the boy is a very capable kid who is one of the top students in a SAP school in west area. He got high distinction 2011 UNSW science. won distinction in RI Math, Platinum in SMOPS, Gold (one of top 30th) in NMOS, Gold ACS Math Olympics. Distinction for ABRSM piano Grade 8,school prefect, completed 2-year MOE TTLT program……. Unable to figure out WHY being rejected.

because he is only at the top of his cohort, not beyond his peers, he could enter RI using his t-score

what RI is looking for at DSA is candidates with talent beyond their peers....

just an indication of what they do in sec one math : choose your favourite mathematician and his theory and make a presentation on what it is all about, together with all the proofs and power point slides...make sure your class understand you

This seems like a common topic and activity in sec 1, my ds does tt in HCI too.

Surprised that this boy was not in GEP.
Did the parents ope not to enrol him in GEP ?
Only one 2 SAP schools in the west and both have GEP right ?

Some were drilled hard for the results. There are always top top mainstreamers not selected for GEP at P3. These are usually the disciplined and hard workers. There were those who always get scolded by tr for not paying attention in class but clear the GEP selection.

Yes, I know. But got WL means got chance to get into the school. So that is still something worth congratulating

ngbrdad:

Thanks. My DS's just a WL, not CO from RI.

Sounds similar to what my DS had to do for his GEP AA for Maths this year (he chose Pick's Theorem) but on a much smaller scale though.

That's why at that time I was surprised and sceptical that my DS this type can still qualify for GEP. The top girl (still topping cohort now) did not make the selection. Don't understand why.
