[quote=\"rylee\"]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.

Hi. I am new here. How do you log into VS's system to check. Can't seem to find it on their school webpage. Thanks.

Hi Mvm, u can log in vs website to check result using the below link.

probably MOE should limit the number of school the kids can dsa (2 at least ), then it will help to solve the problem as at the parents will seriously choose the schools that most suit or most desire by their kids..

Actually, most schools do set aside a quota for the different domains - GEP, Academic, Sports, Aesthetics etc. If you speak to the Sports teachers, they'll tell you exactly how many places are available for that year's Sports intake, and how many spots are alloted to which sport. Many IP schools (those with SBGE usually) also have a quota for GEP students and a separate quota for academic domain.

had it checked it out for DHS.......fr horse's mouth.....

NO QUOTA for GEP pupils,
vacancies which are not filled by GEP pupils will be spooled to the mainstream pupils who applied for DSA.

That's why I wrote \"most schools\" set aside a quota. Obviously DHS doesn't fall into that category. Happily or unhappily for some people.[/quote]i response to yr question that u had asked previously.....
here it goes.......

jtoh:

It's true there are some kiasu GEP students who apply to several schools without the intention of taking up the offer. And when DHS makes it so easy for them, why not? The problem is DHS is happy to welcome them. Maybe if DHS made it harder for the students there would be more vacancies available for the mainstreamers. But wait a second,
doesn't DHS set a limit on the number of GEP offers they make?

aiyo no wonder my ears itch...u all talking about me? ...
anyway I believe there are many geppers out there that only apply for 2 sec schools...
Never try one school only..even if u are pretty confident...My ds' classmate applied to one and unfortunately only get a WL...

Three of my dd's classmates, the ones who are very very good, applied to only RGS because that was the only school they wanted to go to.

verykiasu2010:

for the purpose of getting a CO prior to sitting for the PSLE, application for the DSA school should only be confined to those schools that the kids have genuine intention of getting in but just in case PSLE score not good enough eventually.


If the kid is confident to get in the school (non-dream school, but still good school) via the PSLE t-score, no need to sweat via DSA -- hence this is nothing being brave by not applying. If the kid want to be sure to get in his / her dream school, then DSA is an additional chance and not to leave it to the 4 days in October.

absolutely agree....vks2010....and that's my point...... :hi5:
we had perhaps a self-confessed parent who posted the following in DHS thread.

nymom:

That is because for GEP apply to DHS, firstly, it do not need to go for interview and gat test secondly,it's free of charge.
So lots of the Gep kids treat it as backup.
But eventualy, only a small amount less than 5% will go there.
