[quote=\"hipomum\"]Newbie here, have been reading the threads & am glad to find so many helpful moms out there, willing to share their experiences :xedfingers: I saw many posts regarding RGS & NYGH, but did not hear much bat NJC. Anybody whose child sat for NJC's GAT care to share? Heard the English paper was tough..... :frustrated: btw does anyone also know when notification will be out for the camp n interview? Hope to hear some input :thankyou:

Hi hipomum, my DD went for the NJC HAST. Yes...she also commented that the reading comprehension was super tough...her exact words \"dun noe wat the passages r talking abt\"...the other 2 papers, Maths Reasoning & Abstract Reasoning was easy though. The Phase 2A Activity & Phase 2B interview will be tentatively held on 20th & 27 Aug respectively....so my guess is they will notify shortlisted candidates a week before 20th Aug....so tat's another 2 weeks of waiting..

Hm... A testing of not only patience but faith... Heard that there are like 700 students vying for 200 (??) places? Do you know how th school will send notification? By calling or send via email?[/quote]100 places. NJC takes in about 200 yearly - max 50% via DSA, so that will work out to be about 100 places.

Oh cestmoi, that's good news!

My ds applied using Grade 8 piano but have not received any news yet
He is keen to do MEP but there are not that co-ed/boy schools that offer MEP.
His grades are usually in the 70+ to 80+ range....
*Sigh*

NJC has MEP, altho' it is not listed as a MOE MEP center. But it's music elective follows that of MOE's syllabus so the students can take Music at A-levels. My ds1's grades were around that range too, altho' DSA in NJC is not by any domain.

Oh really, i didnt know NJC offered MEP. IMO, most of the schools that offer MEP are usually among the top schools and so i think results play a big part as well. If my boy cant get into DHS, his second choice would be ACS(I).

Hi all,


I've been following this thread recently. Congrats to all whose DD got CO to NYHS. My DD applied for NYHS using special talent, Pi Pa. She went for the audition but so far there is no news from the NYHS yet. This is really testing our patience.

Anyone who applied RVHS got CO yet?

:welcome: dingdang!

I Emailed to them on Monday and the sch rely to me within the Same Day, saying that they R in the Midst of Compiling the Data for DSA thru CCA - Chinese Dance and Will be informing shortlisted Candidates for Interview Next Week.

U May Wish to Email NYGH to Enquire on the Interview for Chinese Musical Instrument ....

Thks Funx3. I will email them directly then. My girl's P5 results wasn't that fantastic though she've done very well in P6 SA1. Her audition went on very well but my worry is her P5 results will ruin her chance of getting into NYGS. keeping fingers crossed.

How about RVHS? Anyone here applied?

Planetex, if your boy can aim for DHS, there is no reason why he cannot get in NJC. Last year, DHS and NJC are having about the same COP.

Hi vlim, sorry for the mixup. I'm new here, so still familiarising myself with the posting of messages.
Anyway, good luck to your boy! I'm still waiting for news from DHS...
