Yes, they bother to have every single applicant go thru the audition/tests/interviews, altho' in reality, if you look at the namelist, they would have ranked the applicants already. They will test/interview the one with their own highest ranking first.

Is the ranked namelist confidential or open to the applicants to see?

It's open, but you can only see the list when you go for the trials/audition/interviews yourself. They will paste the list on some wall, eg. at canteen, so you know your \"order of appearance\". But in reality, the \"order\" is a \"ranking\" already, although, it's not made known, lah. If you know the \"who-is-who\" on the namelist, you can figure that out already. eg. out of 10 applicants on the list, the one 1st in the order of appearance would be a competition awardee, and the rest don't have even though they have very high qualifications... and in the end, that person would be the only one given a DSA offer. So well, RI might as well not ask everyone to come since, in their mind, they know who they already want, right?[/quote]Thanks for the helpful information. My DS will be going to RI for an interview on 18 June. We will look out for this list to see his 'ranking'.

If yours under GEP, then maybe not applicable.
