      But they usu say must be eligible for express stream, right?

      ya lah, so the eligibility for express stream is 200, chicken feed

      that means those given minimum tscore to meet for sports and arts dsa kids ..... :stupid:

      Actually express stream is 188! But most of the IP schools will only take 200.

      There are schools who take 188 though. Yes, those with min score for DSA above 200 - like 230 - sad, lor.[/quote]actually some schools counsel those 188 to join normal acad

        one question:

        if a pupil get a CO from school A via DSA, after PSLE result is released, he want to appeal for school B. He need to withdraw from school A first and then submit appeal form to school B. But if appeal failed, can he back to school A? πŸ˜„

          friend :

          you have rejected it after accepted it

          now you want to come back ??

          as they said ..... someone should never return to its vomit ....

          the right thing to do is : get the in-principle acceptance of school B first, before you burn the bridges

          understand that lots of parents do it this way

          only thing : teaching the kids the kids the WRONG value that we do not honour our commitment....promises can be broken...... moral values....nothing legalistic about it

          as someone also pointed out, especially for top schools, they also offer to those who did not secure DSA offer - a second chance if they are above the COP and yet accepted the DSA offer from other schools

              We used the last year COP for the appeal sch as a guide to gauge our success rate at the appeal sch. Come to think of it, it was a BIG risk. We would not do it again for our 2nd child.

              If appeal failed, I doubt the rejected sch will accept your child back as it is very likely that the reserved place wld be given to someone on the sch's waiting list.

                You mean you have to withdraw from your confirmed school before you can submit your appeal form? I thought you submit your appeal form first, and only when the 2nd school gives an indication that your appeal will be successful do you then withdraw from the confirmed school.

                        if you know on Dec 29 you would be successful in the appeal, would you still report to the reject school on Dec 23 ?

                        since you won't know the future, do the present lor ........lol
