Don't know that this thread exceeded 1000 pages just now. :rahrah:

Can I check with you people on the submission of the School Preference Form from 24 to 28 Oct. It can be done thru the school or submitted online, right? Or we must submit online, if not no school for the child?? :scratchhead:

Hi MandyMummy,

You can submit it through your primary school or on your own online. I prefer submitting it online yourself. That way, you are positive that it went through and that it's the correct choice. Print out a hard copy of the acknowledgement as proof of receipt by MOE. I prefer not to entrust such important submissions to the school office staff.

btw, which schools did your child get COs from? Congrats!

Thanks, jtoh for your advice. You are right, should do it ourselves.
My ds got CO from RI and HCI.

Congrats MandyMummy. I assumed you had a dd coz of your nick.

When you fill up your form you have to be careful that you put the correct school down as first choice. I double and triple checked my form the last time.

Thanks, jtoh. My nick is confusing, right? And I also kaypo and post on the RGS thread recently.

Will double check the forms before submitting.

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. ......

2 years ago was my ds' time. All CO/WL/reject among all my friends' kids were on same day on 4th Sep. I rmbr all of them sms'g me. In fact those whose kids had WL and reject receive earlier in the day than my son.

But tt is kind of ridiculous right... Can't the school which offer her co initially just let approved her appeal with her reason :skeptical:

I know of a case a few years back. The mum and her forgot to submit their CO online. They appealed to MOE and MOE gave them a flat NO. Told them to try via S1 Central Posting. They asked the primary school to appeal for them. Again, MOE rejected them. Finally they asked RGS and RGS said okay. It was a real relief for the mum and the girl.[/quote]Wow...they were very lucky that RGS accepted them after all the earlier failed appeals. :xedfingers:

But you cannot blame the school, MOE & the system -- non submission of the exercise preference form means don't want to exercise the preference, i.e. don't want to be \"locked up\" by the DSA school and prefer to go the S1 posting route

if you missed buying the 4D for this week, it means you missed and you can't go back on it

But tt is such a :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: tt happened ... The school should give some sympathy to the kid mah ....
Btw striking 4d is purely by luck but getting a CO from top ip school need sweat and blood le ...

it was discussed a few pages back that it's difficult to translate % into t-score without the actual statistics.
