2010 DSA(Direct School Admission)

[mamatay]

vlim:

Had heard that even if u got offer from the school u still got to meet their cop otherwise u will not get into that schoo./// for example if the cop is 260, then even if u got confirm letter from the school, u must also score at least 260 :!: is that true :shock:

that's not what I know - so long u meet the qualifying mark for express, u are in , else what is the point for DSA

[vlim]

But is the qualifying points for different schools differ?.. But that is wat I heard fr a parent who attended nygh tea session … So can parents who attended the tea session clarify … Thks .

My DD got a call from NUS High for interview for thursday but not sure what to expect ... looking for input...anyone???

so lucky, at least u get a call... we hear nothing. Did ur DD went for the camp? was she able to do all the questions for the camp? My DS could not complete Chemistry last 2 gns in time. ....
Maybe u can try this link and post question to the Blog that is used by NUSH existing students - its like a blog and the student may be able to help u --- good luck and all the best while we are still waiting for reply

Thank you mamatay. I hope i get some good responses from the blog - my DD said she could complete all the questions during the camp - I hope this interview is a chit chat session rather than one on one!!! I am sure you will hear positively from the school soon.

definitely NOT true. Clarified that with principals concerned. The baseline is 200 for express, not 260 or whatever, else no point doing DSA exercise

had lunch with principal

they have confidence in the selection judgement. the successful DSA applicants are UNlikely to be far below (if ever) from the COP of the schools

I think I'm rejected. oh well, looking on the bright side, at least i can totally focus on PSLE instead!

That's the spirit, livewith_vanilla! Always look on the bright side of life!!! :salute:

I'm always positive!
I'm a optimistic person, and I will not give up hope until the day of the round 2 selection(21/8/10). For now, my focus will be on PSLE oral!

Good luck to the rest!

HCI says all DSA results (regardless of categories of applicants) will be released on 20 Aug.

[verykiasu2010]

This morning my boy told me regardless of DSA result, he trusts that his PSLE score will get him into his dream school. The DSA process is good for his self discovery and learning.

I did not attend the nush tea session but I heard a parent attending the tea session says that out of ard 1400 student applied, nush select ard 400 for the selection camp and finally select ard 150. I m not sure the 150 is for 3rd round interview or to comfirm.
