Does anyone know

- how many COs did NUSH give out during Phase 1 of 2010 DSA exercise?
- how many on WL were subsequently given COs?

Many thanks!

90% of the intake is chosen at phase 1 of DSA. the other 10% given out after PSLE result is released. Based on reported intake of 140 for 2011 Sec 1, that means 14 were offered to applicants after PSLE result were released

Thanks for sharing the figures. My question is whether intake means number of COs given out. If not, then how COs/WL were given out and out of which 140 accepted.

Many thanks for any pointers.

Many thanks for any pointers.[/quote]According to school website and principal Open house talk, the provisional no of places is 170 (max) each year. This year is exceptional small because of the smaller cohort of PSLE candidates. Heard that 2010 ast year intake was 150. 10% PSLE intake was only decided last year. Previous year has always been 15%.

if not, when ?

iAsk:

He only got a Honorable Mention. Does that help? But in NSW, he got distinction.

[quote=\"iAsk\"]Thanks for all those who shared.

how did you son fare in his P5 NMOS ?

[/quote]sorry to deflat your ego a bit, there are many many pupils with NSW distinctions

if you get NMOS gold, SMOPS platinum, RIPWMC 95th percentile or higher, that will be a good indication and NUSH will invite you

like I mentioned before, my friend's kid did well in DSA @ NUSH, but only got 240 in PSLE, and this is not the only one

They are

having an open house on 9 april,9 am to 3 pm

Presumably this kid scored A* for Math and Science?

if not, when ?[/quote]Apolgies for not making myself clear. I'd like to find out the chance of getting into NUSH for those on WL during Phase 1, and hence am asking how many were put on WL and how many of those wait-listed eventually were admitted to NUSH during the 2010 DSA.

There are some answers there. I believe most on WL ( believe is not a big list) do get admitted finally if they indicate it as first-choice school in DSA preference option.
