Think @bbpinksg is referring to Year 3 admission exercise. Selection test was on 12 Sep and next round on 26 Sep. So outcome of selection test should be out anytime within this week.

Do you know of a child whose WL has been converted to a CO for sports domain in any previous years? Please PM me. Asking specifically for admission to Sec 1. Thanks.

[Jaslim24]

Keen to know too, especially fir IP schools.

Thanks in advance 😀

I think it depends on a number of things,


1) Which school
2) Which steam (IP/O)
3) Child’s ranking in the wait list.
4) High much the school emphasis on that particular sport.

According to MOE, about 50% of WL gets converted. According to my girl’s WL school in charge, quite high percentage as the school focus on the sport she is in.

:thankyou:


Is the 50% conversion to co applicable to IP schools since they are popular and rarely people will reject the offer.. any past experience to share?

Anyone dc has been converted in sports domain frm wl to co in ip schools?

In the past, some people have guessed/observed/said that the sports WLs have a better chance of conversion (all else the same). I cannot confirm firsthand, but I think it is probably true.


First, the domain intake for any sport / CCA is likely a small number of students (at least relative to some of the academic domains). As a result, the coaches may have some idea of who will accept / who will go elsewhere. Second, if you think some of your COs will not accept, you may have a strong desire to field the team with your next choice of players. Additionally, the number of WLs for sports may be managed quite closely, both in relation to the aforementioned points and the total team size.

For example, if your team has X players in the match/on the court/field/pitch/whatever, taking in 0.1X is going to pose challenges for the team. Similarly, taking in 2X players is not ideal either. In contrast, whether your academic domain fluctuates +/- 5 (for the larger domains) probably isn’t a big deal. Many capable kids will enter via S1 as well.

As for the IP schools, some are rumored/known to have a high chance of conversion. As mentioned before, there will be kids with three COs and they can only accept one, so this will free up some spaces. Next, the fact that very few COs are given up does not mean the chance of WL conversion is low. What matters is how many WLs the school issued. For example, if a school typically has 10-15 COs given up year after year and they issue 12 WLs, the odds are pretty good.

Good luck to all and best of luck for the written PSLE papers.
