What Mdm jtoh said is correct

Last year my DS also same situation, among the top in smops platinum ranking etc, got international awards in others cca, though he got HCI CO, he later used his psle to appeal in to RI, we got phone call from RI right after the psle result was submitted to RI

So please tell you son to cheong psle and aim for RI

Sure got hope, don't forget the other half of RI intake is via psle

vks2010, was your DS on WL for RI last year ?
mainstream ?

mainstream, rejected, no wait list, think he did well for the GAT

on hindsight it is good to have the rejection letter so that we know that he gets in by pure merit

Congrats to Firefly38, Twatau, vlim, Paddy field for getting CO to HCI. Looks like most GEPers who get CO from HCI also have CO from RI. Is there any that only get one from HCI?


For those who didn’t get the CO, don’t give up. 加油! 加油!

hi jtoh,


besides demonstrate exceptional ability over subjects like Maths - how about other subjects like Science, English or Chinese ?

are these 3 other subjects also considered, or the DSA panel of decision makers only interested in Maths ? Thanks for info.

Because for RI DSA academic domain is under specific subjects, hence the exceptional ability beyond peers is applicable for each subject domain

So it is a fallacy to assume that other than math will be easier to get in. It is misguided if any parent were to think so

After the science domain test ,my ds checked with his cousin ( now in sec 4)found out that the test was all about sec 3 to 4 syllabus ..

:thankyou: you will have the next one year for preparation. All the best to your DS next year, and being the pioneer for your DS batch, you will have accumulated enough by next year to be a Councillor.

:congrats: vks2010

Now u r a councillor.

Ms Tay,

2 years ago, when my DS received the letter to GEP, I remember his ex-sch form teacher (whom actually discourage my DS to go into GEP) told me this. \"DSA is created for GEP students. This is because GEP focus on projects/portfolio from P4 to P6 (mid year). This group of students didn't really spend much time in preparing for PSLE. If there's no DSA, then they're at losing end.\" I'm not sure how true is this, but from this thread, it's seems like it's really not easy for mainstream students in this DSA process. As for GEPers, they do have to do well (to score >80%) in order to have \"smoother\" process. & it's also not easy to score > 80% in GEP.

What ever reason it is, I believe your DS will definitely do well in his PSLE. Cheer Up!!!!!

Maybe they ran out of original paper and will give you the original only when you put HCI as first choice. :evil:
