Anyone knows how long does normal mail takes to deliver? I called xinmin and they said that they have mailed out on Monday. Until now I haven't receive the mail... so kan chiong...

If they mail out on Monday, after 12pm, you should get it by today

SOTA has emailed to candidates and announcement on the portal needs to be acknowledged.

Received CO from SOTA for dance, but not sure if to accept it, DD loves dancing but heard the dancers' schedule are tough at SOTA, need to cope with IB schedule and dancers basically dance at least 11 hrs per week, school can end at 12am when there is performance or competition, this was told by a friend's hubby who was SOTA maths teacher. Also, understand SOTA now only allow one science at year 5 and 6, is it true?

If there isn't advantages, why would parents send their DC to tuition lessons specially designed for gifted programm?

Don't shoot me hor, but I read on the web before, natural gippers are smart but have behaviour issues, hence they are being grouped together. :? dont know how true is it?

I think there are many misconceptions about GEP kids. To be fair, many geppers are prefects or CCA leaders in their primary schools, and are also largely responsible for winning competitions for schools.

If one is \"veryscared\" about behaviour issues, then one has the choice not to send their children to schools like RGS, NYGH, RI or HCI, where there are many geppers!!

Tks goodness, my DS is not interested in RI and HCI. Anyway, he has CO from 2 schools, so not \"veryscared\" liao.

However, there is no triple science combination in SOTA, so Medicine at tertiary level would probably not be a viable option for SOTA students.

Hope the info helps.
