KCQ, I like your maturity for someone so young. All the best to your DSA. If it doesn't come through, work hard for your PSLE. I'm sure you'll get into your dream school.

:rahrah:

Thank you!! Wow I haven't been here for awfully long and this thread's flourished! :lovesite: Vlim and a few others, I heard your ds's' got COs into RI!!! :rahrah: Wow! Congratz! I was called for a last minute interview, way past the deadline for some reason, and the VP said she was quite impressed:) I got an email saying I was on WL the next day!!! I was on cloud nine! It was better than nothing!!:) Thank you all for your wonderful support!!!
:thankyou: :congrats: to all those whose kids/ who've got COs/WLs!!!

thanks KCQ and congrats :congrats: to you too!!!...btw your WL is from RI right? and curious to know why your case so special..being called for interview so late :scratchhead:

They only said as n when there is vacancy, they will call, SMS or email to inform you. I overheard that an Indian boy had CO from RI as well. The P n VP also know that many have received multiple offers, so they appealing to parents to let them know early so those on WL can be informed early as well. No specific dates given but by 2 Sep is what they appeal the parents to get back. So there n about ...should know before psle I guess

Overall, it was a very chop-chop briefing. It was over in less than 30 mins. I actually expected a Q and A session, but they probably decided against it as it would have dragged the briefing beyond 6.00pm

Mr Hodge has only been in his capacity for 9 weeks. He would have the opportunity to see the new Yr 1 boys grow as they progress and the boys to really know him and look to him for guidance.

As for the WL, quite a number of the ACSP GEP boys only got WL. Not sure about the exact number but it would seem that HAST really played a part in the selection. So school affiliation don't count, strictly on merit. It is all the more important as there were no interviews at all. And also not forgetting the personal statement. Saw quite a number of students from the non-feeder schools too. It seems they gave out all 90 of the DSA places for the IP and 58 for the Express track who DSAed in through Sports and other Talents.

Yes, believe parents will send their sons clamoring in to mix with these 2 excellent schools of well-groomed polite culture girls, well brought up, know how to dance ballet, can dance chinese dance, can grace occassion well, can articulate confidently type ... good potential daughter in law material type.

It was the same last year. Many ACSP GEP boys only got WL not CO from ACSI. I think the ploy was to get the boys to put ACSI as 1st choice and not have the school as back up for RI. That got a lot of parents really upset and quite a few went over to RI.
