      love1001:

      Just to share the same happened to my nephew too!


      He prefers poly but parents (especially SIL) wants him to go JC. He got 8 points (10-2) and Dunman is the first choice due to proximity to home. They appealed today but many are appealing too. Some are 9 pointers whereas others are 8.

      SIL even called MOE to enquire the reason for meeting COP but did not get posted to the JC but MOE officer only suggest them to go down to JC and appeal. Did not disclose any additional information.

      @mylilgirl - I dropped you a PM. Thanks to check.

      In love1001 sil situation, her nephew has a better grade than my dd but he is not posted to DHS, could it be he did not took up HCL?

      HCL has nothing to do with it.

      His grade is better than her grade, but both are still not better than someone who scores 8 (without any bonus point).

        Its Demand vs Supply Rule when vacancies are limited

        I think acjc sci is rather popular, my fren child got into acjc art ( 11-2bonus = 9) that means not many competition with Raw score 9 applicants.
        Raw Score - 1st priority

            I find it strange if they are applying for the same stream - if there are insufficient places for students with net 8 pts, then the one with gross 10 pts should have got a place over the one with gross 12 pts. If it went to ballot, the the one with 12 pts shouldn't have been considered at all? But it was the girl with gross 12 pts who got a place. So my guess is that they applied for different streams.

            However, the Dunman COPs which someone posted are 9 and 10 for Science and Arts respectively, so both should have got places with net 8 pts?

              Unless that someone is Ng Chee Meng or Ong Ye Kung, take what you see or read with a healthy pinch of salt until MOE officially releases the result.

                  Choice is not a factor these days between students. The computer settles each student's posting before moving on the the next (except in the case of ballots, I guess). It simply means that she was not successful in her first 3 choices. Even in the student after her had placed DHS as the first choice, it wouldn't make any difference.

                  But I agree that it does seem strange that a gross 12-pointer got in when a gross 10-pointer didn't, if they applied for the same stream. Only MOE (or its computer) knows.

                      Hi kiasupoh,

                      Dunman High General Office (admin) was the source, that released info

                      Science COP : 9

                      Arts COP : 10

                      Based on your daughter (12 - 4) equal 8, by right should have got into Science stream. Hence, it is very strange, that she did not get in. Perhaps you may want to clarify with Dunman High, why she did not ? Appreciate, if you also can let us know the reason too, since it is puzzling ? :? Thank you.

                      Below is DHS GO telephone number

                      Telephone : 634-50533

                        My girl gotten seat in DHS with her 12-4 results. The nephew of love1001 didnt get in with his results 10-2. Maybe dunman prefer kids who took HCL
