      gracy:

      Ya, sorry to hear and the good thing is that she had secured a CO. Yes I do agree that it's rather puzzling as there doesn't seem to be a norm to this year's DSA. Cousin's son achieved NSW High distinction in math, SMOPS Platinum, RIWMC Distinction, NMOS Gold and yet was rejected by RI too. :?
      For the past couple of years there've been boys and girls who didn't get COs from their desired schools despite scoring platinums in SMOPS etc. I can only guess that there are students who are even better than these, or who performed better at GAT or the interviews.

        no need to be discouraged....when the boys get to Sec 1, they realise that there are other taller mountains beyond what they saw in Pri 6
        That's so true. Especially when you're in a class of students with many who all topped their individual primary schools and mostly scored high 260s or >270 at PSLE.

                    The rain probably slowed the mailman down. Which mails are you waiting for?

                      cestmoi:
                      Just recvd rejection email from RGS.. Scratching our heads why DD is rejected...DD is a mainstreamer, top gal in a neighbourhood sch, scoring above 90% since P1, has UNSW High distinctions & other awards, won at least two individual trophies for National Competiton in sports since P4. During the last interview with RGS, DD felt she had done her best & her classmate who was in the same interview as her, witnessed the interviewers being visibly impressed with DD & she congrats her for her superb eloquence & quick thinking. DD as usual in her humble self dismissed the praises.


                      πŸ˜„ Luckily, we hv set our eyes with NYGH ( of which a CO has already been recvd :rahrah: ) way before & there was just no deep sense of disappointment but full of WHYs huh? :?
                      Haha ....

                      Well like your Gal cestmoi, my Gal has set her eyes on RGS (She can continue to pursue her twin CCA interest in Gym and Dance concurrently), So No Disappointment Issue ....
