Many schools as we want but does that affect our chances ofbeing accepted to our dream school via appeal? Say my Ds wants to go to hci and we appeal to both hci and njc, will hci \"know \" that we have also appealed to other schools and therefore rejects my son's appeal?

For HCI, since you did not place it as your top choice, you are out. Try NJC instead. Schools do not know how many appeals you are undertaking.

Prepare a dam good reason why NJC should accept your appeal.

Not true. Last year there were ppl who got in by appeal into HCI and HCI wasn't even one of their 6 choices. And neither HCI nor NJC will know you are appealing to another school.[/quote]Well, I tends to agree more with Innovate on the reply towards HCI.

Afterall, they do not go about to encourage student to put HCI as the first choice for no reason. Of course the student in question is one who is clearly way way way way above the COP...then situation is diff la.

From what I gather if you miss the COP and want to appeal, it has to be your first choice and same in other schools. Else it will be their low priority and whatever reason you are going to give may not sound very convincing. But why not NJC leh?

BTW, now that the results are out and COP etc are beginning to surface…is it wise to call the school on the outcome of the appeal if we have already submitted way way way way back?? sorry…just KS as always

I called the school and was told earliest is next week. I submitted my appeal on PSLE results day and I assume they would have done some processing. My son also meets the COP. Not sure why they take so long to process.

That is the difficult part , ie on the reasons. I am not Gd in writing this type of stuff, also should it be focused more on what my son can offer the school? If yes, then die Liao cause he has no good CCas or talents. Is it true that we have no chance at all to appeal to hci since we didn’t put it as a first choice?

There is no harm trying. You wouldn't lose anything. Go for it !

Take a look at the postings of 25hrmaid, she had offered excellent advices and had taken a no-nonsense approach in this instance.


Let us all learn from such episole and hope that parents are wiser in excercising the choices next year.

I too submitted early, one day after result day...was told that they will have to sort out the appeal cases fast since any movement will cause a lot of ripple effect to other schools...told that earliest they will inform is on either 22nd / 23rd...with 25th being Christmas, they too do not hope to work over weekend.

BTW, Merry Christmas and all the best to holiday season to everyone at KSP.
