Hi,


Need some advice...still hesitating whether to DSA RI? As DS is from mainstream,no sport achievement,only good in math...got a platinum in SMOPS. I know chances to get into RI are LOW but DH is saying\" you never know if you don't give it a try\" So....very headache as the deadline is next week

Thank You!

With his platinum in SMOPS he stands a much better chance than many others trying out for RI. I say go for it.

:thankyou: jtoh and all.

I thot RI look at Raffles World Maths Contest? My ds and classmates after taking both commented it is tougher than SMOPS.

jen72, what did your ds get for Raffles World Maths Contest ?[/quote]
DS achieved a 93.87 percentile in the Raffles World Maths Contest,though I am quite proud of him but it is just a certificate of participation. If he could have achieved slightly better like a Credit, he would have feel better about RI or maybe chances would be higher...

Did he try HCI? Think he stands a good chance with platinum in SMOPS.
Is RI his dream school? If so, no harm trying if you've not applied for many DSA.

Thanks for all the advice! Yes, he applied HCI and was shortlisted for the tests and interview but feel like buying another lottery ticket not \"insurance\" just in case...who knows will be rejected or not....hoping to get into these school base on the PSLE results is like and lots of stress and pressure..
For RI, DS is not confidence...DH said that is ME that brainwashes DS saying that all the smart ones are there...hard to survive. :imdrowning:
