      Hi Augmum,

      My daughter just received the rejection letter from DHS (applied through academics). Like your friend's daughter, my dd was also the top few in her school. Her overall results has average more than 87% and best in Maths since P4. During the DHS interview, they even commented that she spoke very well. It seems to me that it is extremely difficult for a mainstreamer to get into DHS DSA academics. :scared:
      Hi apricot,

      I think with your daughter good result, it should not be a problem for her to enter DHS thru' s1 posting. Jia you.

      Regards.

            Hi hop,
            So you manage to get a co? Thanks for the info. We are still waiting for DHS reply. But on a happy note, we received a phone confirmation for a co from Victoria school for the VCA IP course last Friday. Regards.

            :congrats: rylee for getting CO fr Victoria sch
            it's good to have a CO in hand....

            Right. Thanks angmum for your wishes. Though my son prefer DHS as he will likely have friends there. Regards.[/quote]u're welcome. 😄

              hi Apricot,
              am sorri to hear of yr gal's rejection letter fr DHS.

              Indeed, it’s rather evident that the DSA selection favours the GEP pupils under academics domain...... (not only this sch)
              yr gal had done very well, i sense her results consistency
              have faith that she will do well again this coming PSLE….

              加油 !!! , look forward hearing good news fr u after PSLE

                  Thank you Augmum ! My daughter just jokingly told me yesterday that if she gets very very good PSLE results, she will be interviewing the various top school personnel instead.... asking them \"How can your school contribute to my future and why should I go to your school???\" For those who don't give satisfactory answers.... they will receive delayed rejection letters. Haha ! Nice dream....

                        ok.......perhaps u may consider appeal to DHS (like most parents do)
