Sylx:

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.

Hi Sylx,

[quote=\"vlim\"]my ds said 2 of his classmates received rejection letter from HCI... so not geppers HCL dsa applicant got CO..

My Ds said his senior received rejection letter too. But his score is < 80%. How abt ur Ds's classmates?

Hi Yukilei,

My DS score is 79.xx and he received WL for RI, and rejection for HCI and ACSI. The same for some of his classmates with <80%.

So your earlier question on whether Gepper with < 80% stands a higher chance in ASCI or HCI compared to RI, the answer is 'No'.

To prepare your DS, make sure he get >80%...[/quote]Hi LangMum,
:congrats: on your DS's WL from RI. Hopefully, it'll become a CO. Good luck. :xedfingers:

My DS Chinese so-so only. When I heard that part of the interview was conducted in Chinese, I thought liao coz he jiap kantan. But surprisingly he still got CO from them.

phtthp:

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.

should know by end of year one whether can cope in the RI IP or not

He returned from the interview very upset coz he had to speak in Mandarin. His aim was to enter RI and will be accepting RI CO.
