DSA 2011

Having a specific number/T-score indicated in the letter is the best option and way forward to avoid being ambiguous and everyone is clear abt the COP and not based on assumption like 200, 188 or 246…

Why do you keep mentioning 246? There is no COP of 246, written or otherwise. -

I also have letters like that. I'll show the \"ambigious\" sentence later. But that HWA CHONG letter is very \"CLEAR\", not ambigious at all. -
hi jtoh
U hv not hear abt COP of 246, it does not mean that such figure does not exist... i believe the reason why letter are drafted in such a way is to give the school more flexibility in selection of students... if they achieved their quota......
Letter with a clear COP isn't it better and clearer to the kid and parents??? They know what to expect and also it will help them to work towards getting a better T-score...
Rather then letting the parents or kids search the web just to find out what the standard para \"tat the kid being able to qualify for the express stream\" and translate it into T-score.
I am trying to safeguard the interest of parents in this DSA process.

if you can’t produce evidence of 246, nobody is going to believe your rumour mongering

Hey, what’s the obession of going to a top school?
There are many many good schools to choose from.
It’s all in the mind and perception.
Don’t waste time and fret over such minor thing.
You will have less stress! -

hello... I m not spreading rumour, I am just saying get the school to indicate clearing the COP and not to just state the standard para...
Basically is to protect the interest of parents and kids and that school has to stick to the COP too...
Someone people thinks that to be eligible for express is 200 and you mentioned 188 so isn't it ambiguous to just state a standard para which does not reflect any COP no.
For me, I believe the COP of 246 does exist... cos the school has to ensure that the kids can cope with the sch work...

It appears that only you have heard of this COP. All the parents who've responded here all know of kids who were accepted at COPs lower than your purported figure - parents who've been on the kiasu forum for a long time and have been around to offer advice or to share their knowledge over the years.hi jtoh

As vk2010 says, no one's going to believe your irresponsible rumour mongering as you have no evidence to back it up.
