2010 DSA(Direct School Admission)

[obsession]

Thanks verykiasu2010


So I guess different schools state different terms. If both schools state 'as his top preference/first choice', could I still fill up the DSA option form according to my preference?

according to your preference, and you should get it according to your preference. at the end of it, you could attend only one school...

Is your son in GEP or mainstream?

I believe ACSI introduced this clause this year only. Basically they're telling the students that if they don't list ACSI as their first choice in the form, they're not getting a place. I don't believe any other school has this clause.

Has ACSI given out the CO letter already? Or are they giving it out only during the tea session once you confirm that you will put ACSI as first choice?

isn't it the MOE processing the DSA posting according to preferences made by the students ? can ACSI indicate to MOE's computer not to allocate the places to the students if they did not rank ACSI as first choice ?

i think all these is just academic discussion because at this stage, every students who received confirmed offer will get their first choice as no school has given out CO more than their vacancies available

NUSH is NOT part of the MOE posting system, while ACSI is still part of the posting system

Because ACSI cannot instruct the MOE computers on how to allocate places once the CO is given out. That was why I asked if the CO letter had already been given out and if the parents had already indicated to the school a confirmation of their decision. In my opinion, once the official form from MOE is given out, you can indicate any school during the school preference exercise stage on the internet and you will get it, even if you put it as second choice (and didn't get your waitlist first choice.)

NUSH is not part of the S1 Central Posting system but is part of the DSA school preference exercise system.

true!

But they told in yesterda's session that we have to put in our preference in the Preference form Oct25-29 thru the primary school .

I think that are not part of MOE PSLE posting but for DSA its the same as others. Got to clarify.

they are all trying to exert pressure ......

normally there is no communication after the school has sent out the CO letter......and the sec school will notify the pri school and moe; and students just tick accordingly on the internet comes Oct, after PSLE.

and if the students qualified / has secured CO based on his / her merit, why the need to arm twist the parents at the tea session then give out the CO Letter.....sounds like black mail to me....rather not choose the school then
