2010 DSA(Direct School Admission)

octopusmum:

totally agree with cascada that it is indeed v difficult for parents...we have to put up a brave front even though we r so disappointed inside! and i am one of them who is still waiting anxiously for the njc dsa results.....

still no news yet and as time passes by, i guess ds has no chance liao
can't be too sad about it since we need to focus on the orals this week!

In fact I called up NJC every day for the past of few days.. the results (was marked in Australia) didn't reach the school until last Fri. When I called again this morning around 9am, I was told \" we are sending the emails right now..\"

Pls DO pick up your phone and call NJC now rather than sit& wait anxiously... My child missed out his HCI test last month just because the email didn't reach me on time! till now I'm still regret for not checking with school by phone call before the test day.

Email is not always reliable and don repeat my mistake

:shock:

Thanks PaPa3. WIll call them. I wonder if NJC would email if unsuccessful or we all still have to wait till Sep.... :scratchhead:

Does anyone know how many are shortlisted to Phase 2 for NJC?

Do you think past school result is their reference eventually among the phase 2?

Zann:

Oh,... I also mistaken your msg for NJC. So which sch are you still waiting? From what they said earlier, HCI will only sent on 20 Aug... many also did not rec RI .... So as for you?

HCI.
DS's friend very bad leh, got me anxious. He told DS he got a call from HCI yesterday.
I was like 'Huh, sure or not? Yesterday was Sunday.' He replied no reason for this friend to lie / play prank on them. Then I remembered someone also said received call from RI on National Day, so Sunday is also possible.
But what I don't understand is since vk2010 said the school last week said they will send email on 20 Aug, then how could DS's classmate got the call? Is it 20 Aug is the last date to send out emails (to rejected applicants) so as to ensure all are informed of the outcome by this date?
I thought even if the school really give CO over the phone, then they would have called the GEPers and SMOP and Sports successful applicants first since they took their phase 2 at an earlier date than those in other category. Why his classmate who took at a later date? Don't make sense...

I only applied for NJC.

Lol, anyway lucks for your DS!

My hopes are now placed on NJC and DHS for PSLE.
DHS is a great school, according to my senior. She was a head prefect when I was in p4, and was my mentor. She has a great personality and I can see she enjoys DHS through all her pictures on facebook. I've visited DHS and enjoyed the school.

Good luck good luck good luck!

Are you vanila cake sister?

:ugogirl:[/quote]Thank you! I'm feeling a little upset because my friend got in. But she cheered me up easily. I will certainly aim high and hopefully I can get into NJC by my T-score!

After reading the above, I just gv HCI a call and was shock :!: to be informed that the emails was sent out end July whether successful or not. Anybody from this forum received ANY EMAILS.
