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 .

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.

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.

Hi, everyone.


DD just checked with some of her classmates who applied for NJC and NONE has gotten any reply thus far.

Deduction: either all of DD's classmates are not selected for Round 2 or there is a delay of reply by NJC, contrary to what they have indicated earlier in the week.

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:

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

Taken from the MOE website (http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/dsa-sec/

A student who indicates his preference for a school which had given him a Confirmed Offer will be guaranteed a place in the school, provided that he is eligible for a course (e.g. Express) which is offered by the school.

Hope this clears up any confusion...
