Did anyone from mainstream receive CO from ACS(I) yet? My friends say they didn't hear anything from the school? :?

Wait has ended!
Got a call from ACS(I) that my DS has been 'shortlisted' and to meet the Principal at 9am on Saturday
No email or postal mail, yet.

My son fr Mainstream also got call fr ACS(I) on Thursday and has to attend talk at 9am on Sat. where they will then give the letter of offer for DSA.
So now my son has got all offers from the 3 schools that he went for DSA-RI, HCI & ACS(I) :lol: So, not true that mainstream students don't usually get DSA. (Plus my son only fr neighbourhood school)
Hopefully this will be an encouragement to students in mainstream for future DSA, that schools do not just favour GEP students. It really boils down to your performance at the selection tests.

NYGH didn't have waitlists in previous years. However, so long as no news, there's still a chance for good news right? Good luck!

Oh i see, my dd is from mainstream , SA1 85% above plus head prefect and CCA captain , wonder stand a good chance or not? , left one week to 30/8 . just worried if GAT don't clear , all hopes gone.

Your dd's resume is very impressive. I do know that NYGH places a lot of importance on GAT though. Hopefully she gets through. If not, there's always PSLE. Good luck.[/quote]Just checked NYGH website and results out, dd did not get thru DSA, just got to work hard for psle then

Anyone know how long is the wait list for RI?


HCI waitlist 1 is 80 (HCI said 100% accepted provided HCI is selected as 1st choice), HCI waitlist 2 is 62.

I think it is because HCI is sort of taking those minorities of top students that will go to RI and applied for HCI just in case.

Congrats Guthix to ur DS
So what is his choice? is it same as yours?


Since ur son seems a very motivated kid , was wondering his choice...
Just Kaypoh!

Just Kaypoh! [/quote]He is currently considering NUSHS for the Module System and the accelerated syllabus. I suspect that someone paid him to choose this as he got both COes in RI and HCI to make space for the WL pupils. Then again, maybe I'm juz paranoid...

But \"paid him\"? how much must that be for your son to change his school choice? unimaginable!
