We attended a session at HCI too, for DSA students, they do not need to meet the COP. Those who are on waitlist now, to convert to CO, they must meet cut-off for express stream (200) and of course subjected to the vacancy available for WL. For all WL students now, their names have been submitted to MOE. Their system will generate who to be converted to CO, and this is why we will know if our DC get the CO on the date when PSLE result is released.

Hi kay22,
Just to clarify - During your attendance of HCI briefing, is it indicated for CO offers, candidate must meet COP for Express (which is ard 200-220 based on other mum's previous indications. First time I've come across WL must meet COP for Express stream. Logically, WL is dependent on available places fr those who released their CO offers.

Someone can help clarify?

Hi all

Received CO from St Margaret’s thru Snail mail.

Congratulations, sweetpappi, and all others with COs and WLs

Just wondering all the popular schools commonly mentioned in this forum, how many actually have their COPs artificially inflated becos of their pri sch affiliation? By right their affiliated students just need +/-230 to get in, while the rest fight so hard for DSA, end up classmates, no diff fr Neighbour schools standard.

Which are those COP >250 without affiliation - the 2 R, VS, Cedar, anymore?

It will remain in your outbox until the person has read it. Only then will it relocate to your \"sent\" folder. This is a peculiarity of the KSP pm function, nothing wrong with your account or computer. Hope that helps!

Yes, for WL students, they have 2 criterias. One is subjected to the vacancy available and 2nd, they still must meet the COP of 200. Even there is vacancy available but if DC cannot achieved 200, he/she will not get confirmed offer. This also explain that it is important too to submit the option form before the result is released. This is to let MOE know that our DC is still interested in the DSA mode even he/she is being on the WL.

For IP : except for NYGH offering affiliation to NYPS girls, all other IP schools do not offer affiliation.

Oic. Seems slightly different fr our DSA as we were told for IP applicants, COP must meet min of Express stream.

For IP whether via DSA or PSLE score, all students on par & no affiliation privileges. I've got the briefing slides (just regret no approval to post up).

Hi,

Need advice on 2 waiting list.

Sch A
WL number revealed to parents, school said if you put in 1st choice, Good chance of getting in.

Sch B
WL number not revealed. Very small dsa number. Child preferred school

If we put in
1. Sch B
2. Sch A

If #1 not converted to CO, then we will lose the WL for sch A?

How does 2 WLs work?
