:thankyou: everyone for your well wishes.
DS had a fun time this morning.
Leaving soon for the interview.
Surprisingly quite a few of his GEP classmates are taking part.
Some with WL for RI and some with CO from RGS already. -

I am quite surprised. I have always thought the ACS affiliation thing is a major major factor. For ACSP GEP boys to get Waitlist only means the selection methodology is a lot more multi-faceted than meets the eye.
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. -
UncleLim:
Maybe it's similar to CHS where the school would rather give away it's DSA places to boys from outside schools, especially if they see that those boys, based on their past academic records, would not have a problem getting a good enough score to enter the school with affiliation \"bonus\".

Thank you for all the well wishes ! DD came out of the I terview quite disheartend, said she failed . They asked her wat s her strength and weaknesses and she said an avid reader like her is good on gk but xan be anti social at times so they told her if u want to be in ip Prog then u have to be sociable . She thought that was a bad answer to give . She was really upset abt the way she presented herself . Told her that she can always try the psle route and not get upset abt it

Hi suecat...tell ur DD dun b disheartened. She is juz telling the truth abt herself n i'm sure they will not penalise her for that. Whatever the outcome will b, she has done her best n this is a valuable experience that many may not hv the chance. -

Quite a fair bit of the ACSP GEP only joined for the GEP and not real ACS thru and thru.

Maybe these are the ones given WL. -
It was raining heavily this afternoon so parents drove to the sheltered foyer to drop and pick up their kids.
Saw a Porshe, few BMWs, some Mercs and Lexus in about half an hour while I was there.
All these elites maybe saving on school fees for their kids next year. :evil:
