      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. 😄
      so i presume u would be accepting VS's CO ??

        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,
        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

          Hi All,


          My niece also got rejected from DHS and RGS (through academics DSA.) last year

          but she studied very hard and scored 267 for her PSLE.

          She is in RGS now.

          So dont give up.
          that's right.....the battle is not lost yet.....
          so P6 pupils ......juz focus and study diligently for the PSLE exams.....

          Perseverance is the key to success !!!!

            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)
                  when his agg t-score meets the sch's COP...... 😄
