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 ???

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,


your son’s results are fantastic !!!

don’t worry, I believe he’ll get into RI / HCI - with his consistent results achieved in school.

hi jtoh,

you mention that “DSA is for those who demonstrate exceptional ability over and beyond their peers in a particular subject or sport”.

sport – I can understand. But subject, this part I not very clear.
can clarify ? can name me an example of such subject ? Thanks for info!

Phone call with good news for my boy first thing this morning. Nothing so exciting, not premier school, but comforting news nevertheless. I thought not to let him know so he won't be too \"proud\" of himself, but got to go for meeting tomorrow. ;(
