My DS wasn't called up for interviewing after the last selection camp.

So now just cross my finger & wait for the result coming out next week..

Was it announced that results will be out next week? If interviews are being carried out next week, will they be able to make a decision so quickly?

Thought the NUS High School Preview session is on 17 August (Saturday)? If that is the case, the selection results will have to be out latest by next week isn't it? :scratchhead:

Cos the next stage will be the acceptance offer to attend their school preview on the 17-Aug.
Meaning to say the school will have to send out the results to those who have selected few days before that.. Which is next week
Am I correct?

If interviews are conducted only on Monday, then they might release the outcome by next Tuesday evening?

Tue/Wed?? :scared:

My guess only - the school might have already decided on those to give rejects or confirmed offers. For those being interviewed and thus, less certain cases, the decision should be fairly fast once they talked to the students.

I remember reading previous posts in this thread that the results are usually released just before the PSLE oral... :roll:

Mean the results should be out Tue/Wed.. I think

But again, I'm still wondering what is the total nos. of CO & WL
And what if out of the total of WL..
Will the school give out more WL as a backup plan just in case more than 50% WL finally decided to choose other school CO..??

[Angel88]

I think they should give out more Waiting lists.

The cohort of 170 is not a big number compared to other top schools and such a waste not to fill the vacancies.

There are so many keen applicants…

[NotEducatedMan]

Think none of us can answer except the school with regards to the actual nos. of COs & WLs will be issued out.

Can't be just 150 or even 170 in total. The school has to be prepared for successful candidates holding multiple COs/WLs from other schools as well

I'm not surprise 100 for COs & 150 for WL.
If in the end 50 COs chosen other school & free up 50 to make it 100 for WLs..
And among 150 WLs, 50 chosen other school.. So balance is 100
Finally the school can give confirmation to the balance of 100 upon the release of psle results
Anyway if WLs is more than the available slot, the school has the choice to reject some away.. That's the flexibility of issuing out more WLs

Just my guessing only
