I hv been checking the \"My status\" since last week. There is an extra \"Step 10: Accepted offer to attend informal tea session\" today. Seems like we would be hearing from the sch soon.

I guess that's for the platinum awardees and other shoo-ins.

Thanks for the info - I just checked, and yes, I've also got that extra Step 10. Hope that means it's good news!

I was telling hubby that I expect to hear from them on Fri late afternoon after the orals.

Whatever the result is, if it is released before the orals, would you tell the child? Esp. if it is bad news? I think I would break the news after the oral.

Step 10 is in all the admission forms. It's only when you see a YES next to it that it's good news. From my understanding it's usually the Platinum awardees and other shoo-ins who get invited to the tea. The rest just look forward to seeing a YES in Step 9: Offered a place in NUS High. That's good enough!

But Step 10 was NEVER in the \"My Status\" page in the first place - it stopped at Step 9. Was only put in by NUSHS this afternoon. Since it was put AFTER Step 9 (\"Offered a place at NUS High Sch\") and it reads as \"ACCEPTED offer to attend informal tea session\", it would seem wierd to put it in the form if Step 9 is not a \"Yes\" wouldn't it? Anyway, that's just a very very hopeful way of reading it! [Cross fingers!]

Hmm...maybe shouldn't read too much into the sudden appearance of Step 10!

Did everyone get a Step 10 in their My Status page?

Yes, Step 10's in my form too. I see the appearance of Step 10 as something they've added to all forms for them to fill in later with YES or NO. So you can have YES in Step 9, that is Offered a place in NUS High, but not invited to tea. I remember reading here somewhere that the Platinum awardees and other shoo-ins were invited to tea before the rest of the successful applicants were informed of their results.

Anyway, Step 10's not important. Step 9's the one we want to see a YES in.

Agreed!

I have the Step 10 too and fully agreed with you a YES in step 9 in what we all are waiting for.

I know of a year 1 student in NUSH she got in thru DSA and was told that all student accept the offer has to attend the tea session and they will give out the confirmation letter.

Hope I'm not wrong.

I think all students make it to the camp have the Step 10 added into their status.

On reflection, I think you are both right. We'll get the answer soon.....
