2016 O levels (Kids born in 2000)

phtthp:

at the point of submission, did you ask them -
when & how do the vacancies arise, for DAE ?

is it that the Respective Faculty in that Polytechnic already pre-allocate or set aside X number of seats first before-hand for DAE students, or they just adopt \"wait & see\" attitude : see whether got any student(s) drop out of the Diploma course which DAE students are awaiting anxiously, thus giving rise to vacancy ?

btw, why are there so many phases (3), in that poly that yr son apply ?
did they explain to you : what are the differences amongst the 3 phases, when u submit appeal that time ?

all appeals go directly to the admissions dept. that dept will process and if interviews are required, then the lecturers for that course will sit in. i don't understand why there are 3 phases either. based on what i was informed, there are still lots of movements going on after the result on 9/2. some students who appealed for the course still have a change of mind...which is why the faculties do not know how many are confirmed taking the course. they only know the 2017 intake.

When I submitted my daughter's DAE application (in Dec!) they wouldn't tell me anything much, just asked me to wait and they would get back to me eventually. So just waiting. They also said to send them her A level results when they are released, so I guess we won't hear anything till after that, at the earliest. Also, they said that there will be a written test and interview if she is shortlisted (don't know if this applies to all DAE or only those without O levels).

Don't know if SP has this \"3 phases\" thing?

SP doesn't have 3 phase application...it's RP.

Yes, RP's admissions system is different from the SP/NP. They told me to wait until after the A level results are out before even applying for DAE (maybe that's phase 2, or 3?). I was hoping that we might hear from one of the others before then, but looks like we will have to submit an application to RP anyway.

same here...now it looks like a waiting game because admissions dept in the poly told me there are lots of movements going on. some students after getting their course in 2nd round of appeal on 9/2 are appealing for another course. here we are hoping to get admitted to a course in the poly.

for Polytechnic admission, after O level, is priority given to Sg citizens first, followed by PRs?

What is the number of limitations of course choices for appeal cases per polytechnic?

Hi dear parents,


I’m curious if worse come to worst, what are your plans if your dear child doesn’t get into the course that they want? I’ve my own personal anecdote to share but am curious to hear your thoughts.
