Hey that's what we used to wear back in the old Hwa Chong JC.
Nice OK.
But really thick and hot though.

Emelyn:
DS1 got CO from HCI. Under mainstream / SMOPS (Phase 1).
A number of his friends got WL. Also under mainstream / SMOPS (Phase 1).
:congrats: to Emelyn and DS! -
Paddy Field:
DS had a co from HCI - really thank God. Congrats to all who had co.
:congrats: to Paddy Field and DS! -
Ms tay:
My ds scored 268 - 275(since p3- p6 ) he got 1st in his level every year in his school .I really dont understand why ri and hci rejected him . Anyone can explain ???
RI and HCI take in very few mainstream students via DSA so competition is very tough. Maybe his performance at the tests and interview weren't as strong as the others? Or perhaps he's very good in all subjects but not outstanding in one particular subject compared to the others? DSA is for those who demonstrate exceptional ability over and beyond their peers in a particular subject or sport. If your son is an all-rounder, as he probably is based on his excellent school results, he would have no problems getting in based on his PSLE. DSA is not for all-rounded students.
I'm sure your son will excel in his PSLE and get into his dream school that way. Good luck! -
breanne:
It's another WL for DS so back to square one and he needs to work hard for PSLE. I checked around a few friends with kids from different schools and it seems that the 80 mark benchmark is adopted by HCI too.
:congrats: to breanne and DS! I'm sure your WL will turn into a CO!
All the best and good luck! -

Ms Tay - your son's results are amazing! I did not refer to your older posts to see at which stage your son is rejected. But possible reasons are GAT (in the case of RI) and interview performance. It's a numbers game. For RI, around 180 out of 225 positions are taken up by GEPpers. Remaining small number caters to sportsmen and mainstream. First cut GAT. Due to sheer amount of mainstream applicants, if one does not cross GAT hurdle, I do not reckon that your submitted portfolio/file is being looked at ie the school would not know if a boy has done well consistently in pri sch, whether he's head prefect/prefect, whether he has won Edusave scholarship, how many High Distinctions in ICAS tests etc. For the HCI interview, and if he has made it through to interview stage for RI, it's the impression he has made on the interviewers.
We do walk away from DSA learning something about our kids' strengths and weaknesses. But, rejection in DSA has NO linkage to his academic ability. With his consistently remarkable results, I am sure your son can walk heads up high into RI/HCI with his official PSLE score. So many past examples have shown such for mainstream cases and in fact some of them scored way way above those who DSAed. 加油！！ -

Hi Ms Tay,
You DS results are really super and impressive!!! :salute:
I'm sure he will get into his dream school via his PSLE results.
Jiayou and we are looking forward to hear your good news! -
TREX8:
:thankyou:Thought DSA results for HCl must be out for the dsa thread to move so fast!
Congratulations to vlim, TwaTau, firefly38, PaddyField an'd Emelyn on your DS success at DSA for HCl.
Breanne, don't worry about your DS being on WL as seems like quite a few kids have COs from both RI and HCI and are opting for RI- so should have quite a high chance.
Pen88n, Publica and Mrs Tay, encourage your DS and support them all the way for PSLE.
Best of luck to all those who are still waiting for results.
Regardless of the results for DSA (whether CO, WL or Rejection), the important thing now is to get our DD/DS to 加油 and CHEONG for PSLE! -
