        Most geppers DSA for RI or RGS. Outcome not out. How to say rejection higher? Not fair to say geppers free rider. They are taught less of the PSLE stuff unlike mainstream and do more projects? Most still score above 250. Most awards won by geppers. Please be sensitive in your comments.

        I totally agree. Why said its free ride for them. They take the same test, go to the same interview like other MS kids. The school choose the candidates not the other way round. They are just 12yr old kids like any of the MS kids. They work equally hard as well. Please spare a thought for them when you pass bias comments. Thanks.

          RGS, RI, MGS, SCGS, SJI, Dunman High, Temasek JC, National JC, Nanyang Girls High?

            I totally agree too. My DD works very hard for everything that she does. Be it her projects, school work or CCAs. She's definitely not getting a free ride.

              Thank you Yngmng to speak this out. I do not understand what's the meaning of \"free ride\" too. From the very beginning, geppers are selected from MS and all kids have their fair chance to achieve this. Geppers have more non psle related subjects to learn/projects to do even in P6. Though they have lesser time to concentrate in psle many can still achieve high.
              As I have already mentioned in my previous post, all Dsa schools are selecting talented students they want. It dose not matter if u r Gep or ms, in the end all is about the talent and ability. What our DC achieved in the past gain their entrance test, what they achieved in the HDP/interview gain their CO or WL.

                  I have both gep and mainstream children. I do not think the gep child is taught less of PSLE stuff. In fact I think her gep curriculum contributed to her stellar psle results. Please don't flame me, just my own experience.

                        looks like this year many parents have DSAed their kids into NJC, will be a tough fight. As for any one who has news from MGS can pls highlight here pls. Thks!


                        Don't think this year will be as tough as 2014. That year 700 over applicants sat for test, shortlisted about 100 over, should be less than 150, for interview and CO 50 students.

                        I thought the number of CO for NJC is about 70-80? So about 50% chance if managed to be selected for interview.
