Agree. They went through everything... no need to withhold the news be it good or bad.
For us, from time of application we already kept talking about adjusting expectations and managing disappointment.
What if don't get any CO? What's next? So what should we continue to do to ensure that even if we lose the DSA game, we won't lose the PSLE game?

So we told him immediately once we could. There was no need to withhold information from him.
Yes there was 1 disappointment but it wasn't his first choice, so it was bruised ego more than disappointment for him.

Anyway, we are still working hard on PSLE together even though he has gotten the CO he wants.
Doing your best consistently all the time is more important, be it safety net is there or not.

Totally Agree. I still remembered my DD screaming happily the moment I told her that she got verbal offer. It is the school that she wants.
After that she is back to study mode and diligently do her schoolworks and revising.
She still very sad and moody when she thought she was not doing well for her Prelim.

I received via snail mail from DHS , on waitlist . 😅

Which domain, if u don’t mind sharing?

I believe you should tell as soon as possible. As this is a team sport, everyone in his community will be talking about it soon. Not nice if he gets to know about it not from parents

Yes, we shared with DS and showed him all the email correspondence on shortlisted for trials and interview; CO and rejections. We involved him 100% so that he knew hardwork may or may not arrive at the desirable outcome. I think he has learnt that life is full of uncertainties in the process of DSA.

Received WL for DHS for sports domain. Anyone can share the chances of conversion? Normally how many WL do they issue ie 50% of CO numbers?
