      so RGS will send email to notify those who are going for selection tests/interviews and also those they rejected. But for us who didnt receive anything as yet even though I know they already started sending notification for interview? Just keep waiting for the email? My girl applied for Science and we didnt get any email as yet. Understand someone received email notification already for Science. Anyone knows why its like that?
      My guess only: yours is further down the shortlist. Just be patient and wait for them to finish interviewing all those in front of you. If still got space for them to take in more, they might invite you.

      Alternative is to email/call them to check if they sent but happened you didn’t receive their email.

          I think RGS Chinese and Leadership Rejection (or more diplomatically Unsuccessful) were sent out yesterday. For these domains the shortlisting notifications were sent out about two weeks ago and the tests/interviews were one week ago. Similar to the other reply, I suspect they confirmed/now know they don't need to interview any further down the list, so they sent out the Unsuccessful emails so applicants aren't in limbo (case closed and time to move on).

          I am not sure if EL Unsuccessful were also sent out yesterday. Given the selection tests are later this week/early next week, the school may be sitting on some applications just in case.

          We've seen SNGS dribble out notifications in batches, others seem to do all at once. Hard to know for sure.

          Good luck and hope your girl gets whatever she is hoping for!

            Anyone rcv any outcome from NYGH?
            My daughter rcvd 3 invitations from 3 schools, but NUS said she didn’t make it for the camp, and 2 other shortlists: DHS did the audition, no interview, so NYGH is our one and only hope now, guess my strategic was wrong :?: :imdrowning:
            May I know what’s the academic domain requirement
            and what’s the statistic/chances look like?
            My daughter’s Math AL1 Science AL2, she got several certs from SMOPS and SPSO,
            but we put her on performing art domain bcos I thought academic battle is more competitive 🤔
            and also why they never ask us to submit any supporting documents nor personal statement altho she was invited/shortlisted by all?
            For NUSH, other than selection test, they also look through applicants performance in their primary school test and exam results (mastery of primary school syllabus in math and science), participation and achievements in math and science related competitions and programmes. They will also look at the related CCA achievements, awards, scholarships, projects and so on.

              Are you referring to final CO/WL/ interviews or selection camp? For our kids who never show up during camp means game over right?

                Seems like RGS is keeping some as backups then. LOL... I was told the science interview is on 29th July. So till then its still a wait though i prefer a proper closure. But no worries, just curious why some get notified for interviews, some gets rejected emails (for same domains) and some like me are left hanging in limbo. Hahaha... Appreciate all the responses though!

                    My girl doesnt have any science olympiad. I didnt fill in anything for external awards, just used her school results. She has consistently scored AL1 for Science since P3 till now. That's all. She wanted to try and apply and hopefully get more exposure in sec sch. 😉

                      Yup we are waiting too. A few also received rejection for EL or CL if I’m not wrong? But we didn’t get anything… 🙁

                        Ic, science is difficult to score AL1. Your girl is good 👍

                        From earlier sharing on RGS DSA VA , it seems academic result is important factor to be considered for selection test. Believe your girl academic result should be good given she is applying for academic domain.

                        Maybe what make a difference is the awards?! Guess only
