Then they bluff children one leh.
One of the selling point to attract people into accepting the GEP offer was more than 80% will get secondary school of their choice thru DSA.

Never bluff lah, just that they never say girl girl 100% and boy much less % :evil: :evil: overall 80% still correct
Anyway the GEP kids who didn't get any DSA offer or get into IP school after PSLE are usually boy boy right :rant:

You mean ALL GEP girls got/ will get COs thru DSA every year? Didn't know that![/quote]GEP is 1/3 girls and 2/3 boys ratio which will work out to be about 150-170 girls and 300-330 boys in an approx 450-500 cohort of GEPpers. Given this smaller cohort of GEPper girls, not surprising most get DSA offers as most schools will be \"competing\" to get them in.

On a similar note, with this smaller cohort of girls, mainstream \"top\" girls also have greater chance of DSA success compared with mainstream \"top\" boys. No doubt DSA is by merit, but schools will still have some target numbers they aim for. With fewer competition (esp. with the all girls schools), chances will definitely be higher. My analysis is purely from a number / statistic viewpoint, not meaning to offend anyone's viewpoint.

Snow Crystal, how abt the boys? I've a feeling that the % will be lower than the girls.
