I think the dates 19 and 26 Jul 09 are the latest and the most accurate as these dates are updated in the Camp Acknowledgement notification of the individual student shortlisted for the Camp.

BTW, for parents who are not sure if your child has been shortlisted - you can go to your online admissions a/c at NUSH and check status!

Hi

Just soken to the lady in NUSH she confirmed that the camp is on 25 July 2009 and advice me to login tmw.

But just confuse where did u saw the dates 19 & 26 Jul 09. I didn't see that in the individual student online application.

Hi Sally

On reading your post, I ALSO called NUSH and spoke to the lady there. She confirmed that the camp date is 25 July 09 and it is only a ONE-day Camp. The dates 19 and 26 July are INACCURATE. She also advised that parents log in tomorrow for the amended notification.

The \"amended notification\" is only with regards to the Camp date; so if you have already gotten a \"YES\" answer, then that should remain (at least that's what the lady said). Phew! But it is not clear whether all the shortlisted applicants have already received the notification or whether they are still in the process of sending it out.

I guess the best thing to do is to \"wait for tomorrow\" as the NUSH lady suggested and check \"My Status\" in your A/C again.

Hope that clears up the confusion.[/quote]Hi kohjl

NUSH updated DSA application status in their website. but I'm confused about camp now. the latest infor on the website saying it is on 19 & 26 Jul, not 25 Jul

Maybe they'll clarify when they email the students.

Anyone has any idea of the 400 students accepted for the camp, how many eventually get offered a place?

NUSH takes in about 160 students each year. 85% comes from DSA. So that means they will offer about 140 confirmed places. Out of these 140 are 70 SMOPS platinum holders. That means approx 70 places left for the others. My guess is that another 20+ gets waitlisted. Good Luck.

But seriously, I had earlier asked the NUSH lady what exactly was \"wrong\" with the notification - whether it was to do with the dates only. Or was it that NUSH had sent the shortlisting notification to the wrong applicants; I told her I was concerned that my son's \"Yes\" answer may turn out to be a \"No\" instead. She clarified that it was the dates that needed to be amended, and if I had already received a Yes, then that was accurate and will not change. She must have taken pity on me cos I told her this uncertainty was giving me a heart attack. :shock:

I hope the NUSH lady knows what she is talking about!

This is what happens when we jump the gun and check the website for information. We worry ourselves and the NUSH staff as well. I guess we should wait for the email confirmation and be patient. And hope that the invitation to camp confirmation is not an error. Interesting thing is, everyone I know got a YES in their form. Is that worrying?

I don't think there is any \"jumping the gun\". NUSH has structured it such that each NUSH applicant has his/her own NUSH DSA online A/C for the purpose of keeping track of and checking one's status.

I did that a few years ago and checked the online A/C status for my eldest son and that was how I found out that he was offered a confirmed place in NUSH.

Certainly no one expected - and neither NUSH staff too - that NUSH would make a mistake in the notification. It just happened and that's it. So we just wait.

NUSH wasn't ready to inform the applicants yet and in fact, they were planning to email the students only next week. That would probably have allowed NUSH time to check their online form for any errors and there wouldn't have been this flurry of anxious parents calling the school and seeking clarification on this forum. So yes, we did jump the gun and caused ourselves a lot of anxiety. And yes, we should just wait. Patiently.

there is so many rumors circulated in the forum. luckly NUSH sent out emails in time.
