phtthp:

did he mention if got any dateline to inform WL whether can receive CO or not ?


what if the WL is very long list, and many accept CO and not give up ?

They only said as n when there is vacancy, they will call, SMS or email to inform you. I overheard that an Indian boy had CO from RI as well. The P n VP also know that many have received multiple offers, so they appealing to parents to let them know early so those on WL can be informed early as well. No specific dates given but by 2 Sep is what they appeal the parents to get back. So there n about ...should know before psle I guess

Overall, it was a very chop-chop briefing. It was over in less than 30 mins. I actually expected a Q and A session, but they probably decided against it as it would have dragged the briefing beyond 6.00pm

Mr Hodge has only been in his capacity for 9 weeks. He would have the opportunity to see the new Yr 1 boys grow as they progress and the boys to really know him and look to him for guidance.

As for the WL, quite a number of the ACSP GEP boys only got WL. Not sure about the exact number but it would seem that HAST really played a part in the selection. So school affiliation don't count, strictly on merit. It is all the more important as there were no interviews at all. And also not forgetting the personal statement. Saw quite a number of students from the non-feeder schools too. It seems they gave out all 90 of the DSA places for the IP and 58 for the Express track who DSAed in through Sports and other Talents.
