Another word, if die die SJI, during school preference, DO NOT PUT XXX as 2nd choice. RIGHT? :?[/quote]

Yes! If you put a CO as second or third choice and it gets exercised, there is no hope. you can't even appeal to go SJI after psle results.

BUT you run risk of not getting into SJI or XXX if the Tscore don't meet COP. Therefore, think wisely. and just remember, at the point in time, you have made the best choice. I'm sure SJI or XXX, they are good schools (else you wun bother to dsa).

Just received WL for my son too.


A little dilemma here...

My son however also accepted into another DSA school. We went to both DSA and found SJI more suitable for my son growth in term of culture and character building.

So, questions...

1. During school preference ex, can I put SJI WL as 1st choice and XXX CL as 2nd choice?
2. If he still been rejected by SJI and got into XXX. Now, can he still join S1 Posting and choose SJI after PSLE release?

Anyone can reveal what's the chance for WL to get into SJI?

Kaypohing here.

If you put WL SJI and then CO XXX, if WL is converted, all is well. But I think if you die die don't want XXX and rather wait for PSLE results, please do NOT accept the CO of XXX. Once you accept, there is no turning back. I think if you do not list the CO, and only put WL SJI, then if WL is not converted, your Ds will join the S1 selection. IF your DS cannot make SJI for psle, he also cannot go back and say got CO to XXX.

Kindly note that a child who didn't make to SJI and XXX for psle results may end up in YYY. this is of course a CHOY situation.

Hope your DS can get into SJI!!!! :rahrah:

Just to add on.

There is no point putting XXX CO as first choice if u prefer SJI. Reason being that CO is CONFIRMED will get in. Once you out xxx CO as first choice you will definitely get it. On the other hand, if you put xxx CO as second choice, you don't have to worry that you will lose the place to another person who put it as first choice because your place in xxx has been reserved, confirmed.

And yes, if die die must go SJI, you have to leave out xxx CO as your option. In fact, it might be better if you can call xxx and tell them you won't consider them. Why so? This is to be fair to other parents who are on xxx WL. Cos someone in that WL will be converted to CO immediately. Must do this before 31 August though. Always remember, for every CO, there is more than 10 who did not get the CO. You don't want to deprive those who did not get it the chance if u r very sure u dun want xxx.

probably just go to DS preferred school and ask the other school to send the letter to you.

Hi What The,
