      Well, the girls' schools seems to like SMOPS platinum very much...I got it, and RGS, NY and NUSH all gave me CO. I'm not even a GEPper.

      You are so happy that your jaw got lockup with so many CO, I like your avatar. :congrats:

          Heard an interesting story in the past about how one mainstreamer end up landed in RI not to his desire. He dream school was HCI. Both RI and HCI rejected him at DSA but RVH accepted him. To be safe he accepted RVH DSA offer. When PSLE released he did well enough to go HCI and RI, so quickily went to appeal lor. Then RI accepted him and HCI put him on waiting list. Afraid that he ended nowhere to either of these schools, he took up RI. When he later struggle in RI, he regretted going for DSA.


          Moral of the story : Try DSA only for your dream school, and focus on PSLE

            Can it be the GEP kids that were rejected by HCI did badly in their Chinese ?


            Maybe ... Or also maybe during the HCI interview they give bochap attitude :scratchhead:

            He so sure he can get RI meh at that stage?

              But RI DID accept him on appeal, ok?! And he did make their COP. So for all you know, he could've struggled in RVH or HCI too!

                if a child struggle can’t cope in RI, can he exit IP programme in RI, and switch back to take O level ?


                or he got to transfer to another Secondary school ?

                  RI does not offer \"O\" Level programme. I've heard of a kid having to transfer out to another school due to inability to cope with IP programme.

                    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!

                    :thankyou: yukilei !!!

                        It is a tough decision for the kid and his parents but it's the right thing to do, rather than staying on and eventually failing 'A' levels.
