I would suggest wait till after she take her PSLE. How confident she is with the papers before deciding whether to accept the CO or not?

Logical, however sometimes children's feedback bei-zhun one

Anyway, the School Preference Period is on 30 Oct - 3 Nov... By then the kids already finish their PSLE and time for them to relax already...

Hi TigerPanda. It is through snail mail.

I think is for both successful and not successful applicants. My girl just received her rejection letters from NYGH and DHS.

Was chatting with a few KSP mums & we're seeing more COs oferred for sports & talents. Think schools started to heed MOE's directive. DS hv many academically well-deserving frds who received only WL (applied only thro academic as they're not active or sports talents with a handful who do not want DSA thro sports bcoz of heavy commitments).

加油！ Dint loose heart, keep up the momentum for just one more month!

[/quote]Thanks Estéema for your encouraging message. True that the DSA has changed this year. My DD1 got into her sch through DSA academic 3 years ago. Although she need to go thru GAT, but i think it is much easier for her then.

Will wait till end of PSLE for my DD2 to decide if she wants to take up the only CO she received.

May I check, for NUSH CO letter this year, is there any clause that says ‘place is only confirmed only if put NUSH as first choice’, or something along this effect? Thanks.

my understanding is once you have CO they cant take away your seat unless you dont meet minimum PSLE requirement for express stream but again I dont know for sure how NUSH deals

I believe this clause applies only to WL.

FYI.. NUSH does not participate in S1 posting.
