        Just wanted to add in that NJC should inform the Rejects at the same time. It is JUST PLAIN COURTESY!


        Simplest thing they could have done was to send an email. The actual letters can come in due course. In case of rejection, no need to send at all.

        I guess they have to inform the final outcome to ALL the applicants, even those who were not short-listed for the second round.
        There were abt 200+ short-listed for the second round, but I guess the total applicants must be 800+. Now to address 800+ letters does need a lot of time and resources. So I guess they decided to send out the CO first and do the reject ones later. IMHO, sending out 600+ reject letters is a redundant task. Not to mention a waste of paper and stamps. An email would suffice!

        Right. Actually, what VS did was pretty good. Log into the system yourself to check the results. After that VS staff will call to inform you if u are successful. Just in case u didn't have time to log in. CO will issue to those successful applicants later.

              I don't know about last year, but 2 years back, NJC was like that. Didn't bother to inform the Rejected ones on time. To NJC, the Rejected ones are not important. There is no empathy for those who were waiting anxiously for their DSA outcome. It seems like NJC did not change at all. ...... 🀷

                      Actually VS staff is quite nice. They even help to check the dsa outcome through phone on the 2nd Sep. This is what we call \"customer service\"

                        Also hope that those parents with WL can share with us whether they manage to get the WL converted to CO for our reference. Thks in advance.
