2 more days before we know the outcome of the appeal the appeal will be successful.

all the best to your kids who are also appealing.

Did u call up Principal of those Polytechnic faculty : to find out roughly his chance, before wait for another 2 more days ?

Or

U had already called up to check, but they just ask you to wait for 2 more days ? How many more other candidates, also appealing together with him, for the same faculty course, same poly ?

i called the poly manager as well as the executive in charge of admissions.
was informed that it is based on the availability & cohort size...more stressful :frustrated: to hear this.

oh dear Janet…so sorry to hear this!


Did he not qualify based on COP? Yes, pls be considered in your DAE application to the next poly. Wish you best of luck!

In this situation, I would suggest that you DAE to all the eligible polys. DAE are administered separately from JAE. Doesn't mean that when you failed in your appeal in JAE, you are ineligible for DAE.

Hi, Janet,


Sorry to hear that. Pls encourage your son to accept what HE has planned for him. In my working life, I have witnessed enough cases of success which does not commensurate with qualifications. If you asked me, what I think constitute to the SUCCESS of a person is really the attitude. This is the ONE that can make or break a person. Qualification is just a piece of paper and I believe there are more than one path to achieve this. Please dun take it too hard and stay positive. Take care !

we chose courses with cop about 1-2 points above his score...yet it was unsuccessful. so now it is DAE...this boy really unlucky.

don’t think of it this way, adversity makes the boy grows stronger and hopefully he gets more motivated to do the right thing after successful appeal.

Janet, I agree with Floppy. It's better to apply to all the eligible polys. It will give you higher success probability. If you are offered from more than 1 poly, then you can choose too. Isn't it better?
