@revils_ling
my daughter was not called for interview on 23July. but today morning, we received a Wait List email as follows.

Congratulations!

Thank you for your participation in the recent Direct School Admission (DSA) Selection Exercise at NUS High School of Mathematics and Science. After a comprehensive review of your performance at our Selection Exercise, you have been placed on our Wait List for admission in the Academic Year 2025.

@silenthill
as per my understanding during the open house, not called for interview means either get CO or reject. Only those who need further assessment will be called for interview.

received ASCI track and field rejection letter yday. was sort of expected already but still can’t help to feel a bit sad best of luck to other who have applied for that!

now will patiently wait for the other 2 schools…

@silenthill Congrats on receiving WL for your child! Based on past year threads, a WL from NUSH is as good as CO.

@silenthill Congrats on getting WL! Maybe they have other considerations but I think WL as good as CO. The past threads mentioned some CO will go for other schools, hence the WLs get converted to COs.

@revils_ling We didn’t rec any email. Time to move on~ All the best for ur child’s SST round 2!

@revils_ling Just receive the rejection email from NUSH. Can move on already. They should just send out the email together with CO & WL.

[revils_ling]

@AngieHo yes, I agree with u. The fact that we waited for almost an entire day just to receive bad news didn’t help at all. Anyway. another one done and dusted for us. Shall see if my DS still wants to give this “picky” school another go in November. All the best for the kids next week’s orals and for the prelims + psle papers ahead!

@melting_starz did u check your inbox and spam? They would have sent the emails to both addresses provided in the initial DSA application. I spent dinner time feeling dejected before I was ready to break the bad news to my kid. Mainly because this was a school I always thought would fit him well, ever since I read about it 6-7 years ago. But maybe I was wrong? Whatever the case, he’ll have to face the music again in school today since at least 5 of his peers have received good news yesterday morning. And at the end of today, we’ll still be able to feel happy for his friends, and he’ll still be able to get on with his prelims + psle prep.

Thanks for being on this short lived journey with us! All the best for your DC for SST!

For now, I’m not too sure if my kid still wants to go ahead for SST camp, especially since he hasn’t decided what he wants to do for the 1-min show n tell yet.
