Just now finally got reject letter from RGS and case close,hopefully perform well on coming PSLE.

Thanks, for the update

So, this 2022 DSA batch of RGS unsuccessful outcome is actually sent via hardcopy letter inside our postbox, not sent by electronic email method.

Yes, our children can still enter RGS, by PSLE AL score, ie. which is often the more frequently travelled upon road. All the best, to our kids ! Keep up your fighting spirit, peservere on, dont give up. Jia you (x6)

I think you've misunderstood my point. I wasn't saying that the school would reverse a CO or WL. Rather, will the school reverse a rejection?

For example, if a student is rejected (i.e. does not get either a CO or WL), can the school later offer the student a CO or WL perhaps because the school had a low take-up rate of their COs?

To answer @mystique_j's question, I don't think any school would issue a CO/WL and withdraw it later. That would be horrendous unless there was good basis for doing so, e.g. the student had cheated or provided falsified data in the application.

I believe the system works this way:
Once the School offer CO /WL and will be Submitted to MOE, that why there is a cut off date of 12 Sep.
After 12 sep, no more CO/WL. School involvement stop from here.

Then MOE will send to respective students to take part in the preference choice. Therefore some school will have open house of briefing to convince the CO they offered to put them as 1st choice especially some have multiple offer.

NO, After 12 sep no changes to CO/WL.

Schools not under pressure to fill up X number of DSA places. So even if CO or WL take up rate is low, school will not reverse decision on rejected students.

Perhaps schools are not sending rejections yet to allow time for parents to respond “initially” to CO offers. In the phone call from ACSI they did ask what our intentions might be. They encouraged a reaction BEFORE the Principal’s address and further urged those that already they intend to reject the CO to do so BEFORE 9/9 to allow them to offer to others on WL (perhaps immediately) which is very fair.

Every parent/student of course still has right to wait until the hard line in the sand to respond which is at end of October.

Yes, indeed, because after 12Sep, all CO/WL submit to MOE and nothing can be done already.

True

Because
schools can always find students who are able to meet the school's official PSLE AL Cut off point, to fill up all the remaining balanced vacancies left !

Yes, They just make sure the DSA slot does not exceed the % quota. CO is those they willing to take, WL happen to be those they want to take but quota is filled up. Rejection is those they don't want to take.

That sounds right and fair. Thanks.
