Congrats to all who got COs and WL, celebration for the kids less stress hopefully in the psle. Not sure if this is true, heard fr the other channel this yr the geppers are hardest hit after the moe's announcement. Seems most top schools cut down on geppers intake and are accepting more

talents as the way dsa is intended for. Poor batch they are caught in this transition but i supposed np for then to enter via posting. :xedfingers: :xedfingers:

Which channel?

Non KSP, but equally jittery bunch who kept refreshing their email inbox too

DD who is Mainstream was shortlisted for DSA English written test by the school she applied to. During the English test, she saw a GEP girl from her school also sitting for the test.

In the end, DD was shortlisted for the next round ie Interview but the GEP girl wasn't.

If MOE's elimination of GAT is meant to create a more level playing field and revert DSA to its original intention of focusing on specific talents, it looks like it is achieving its purpose for now.

hi bbcat,

May I know which school your DD dsa to for the English domain? Is it RGS?[/quote]No but it's another well regarded girls' school.

Any idea if ACSI has called all COs today? Thanks

Maybe wait a day or two more.

I've also received a call from ACSI offering CO IP for my DS. So did one of his classmates.

Hi, my son was offered for sports.

Hi, my kid has a CO and a WL now. During the Oct School Preference submission, if I put the WL school as my kid’s first choice and he does not get it, will he get a place in the CO school (which we will put as his second choice)?

Yes. That is correct.

Hi Marcus_Mummy, my DS got into IP. I think ACSI has no specific domain for IP. DS took HAST and submitted all his achievements.
