[quote=\"Qalb\"]Called RGS this morning.. all emails for the half day programme should be out today. For those who have gone for an interview earlier but did not receive an email for the half day programme, doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Fingers cross.

I too, called RGS in this morning. They said only selected students would need to attend half day program and it does not mean those are not selected for half day prog are unsuccessful in the DSA application including candidates from mainstream, it sounds weird to me.

Is it true that some just need to attend interview without half day program and can be offered the place based on interview and academic performance in the past? Does anyone has the experience in the past?

Hard to say as next year DSA will not include general academic category and tests. It seems that almost all schools are already implementing part of these new changes, i.e. almost all do not have general academic tests this year, and NYGH only has interview. I re-read RGS DSA website carefully, and it does not indicate that not being called up for half day program = not successful, unlike NUS High which is quite clear on this point.

Perhaps RGS may not called up everyone for aptitude test, and will instead solely rely on past results and achievements for selection?

Thus far those called up for RGS half day program are in CCA and English. Also those called up for Maths and Science seems to be for interview but no one has received call for half day program (yet)?[/quote]
My girl will be attending HDP at RGS. She went fr interview last wed. Dsa through Academics- science
