2010 DSA(Direct School Admission)

[Panicmi]

Hi,

My girl is using GEP for the DSA. Her dream school is RGS.
If she gets an offer from NUSH instead of RGS,
can she accepts NUSH offer first, later then use PSLE score to enter RGS?
Anyone can give me an advise.

I don’t think so. If u accept, then u cannot take part in the psle posting selection. Unless, if I am not wrong, u may write in rgs to request for transfer…But not sure of the possibility …

Any cases of student with a list of olympiad or NSW but missed SA1 80% getting into DSA?

If she apply for NUSH and gets in, she would not be participating in the central PSLE intake. Instead, if she wants to apply for RGS after that, she would have to go for the supplementary intake (a.k.a appeal) by raffles. However, very little people qualify for it.

Depends on which school too.

You mean still have hope and some school still take into consideration and not reject straight.

If she accepts NUSH, she will not be able to participate in the centralized posting. She can appeal to RGS using her PSLE results but it is a troublesome process. Some parents have shared their experience on this earlier in this thread. It is not impossible and some children have successfully appealed in the past.

Hi Soka,

Are you referring to GEP or mainstream students?

that is simply twisting the MOE processes

and depriving another student who might have gotten an offer from NUSHS from the DSA if not for this girl

theoretically possible to \"transfer\", ethically we are teaching the wrong value in not honouring the commitment made when accepting the NUSHS offer

I think not many parents would say such things so bluntly as above, as when things are concerning their own children, if need to twist something, would still do it ........

I agree with you that it is not right morally to 'chope' the place and deprive another child. I personally would not do it. But this has been discussed extensively in the past and it's no secret that many do it.
