      still no NJC letters ?


      either NJC poor business or happened that no ksp parents/kids apply for NJC DSA

      no ,..there are ksp parents here with kids apply NJC dsa...all waiting with long neck...such as ngbrdad..i suppose they oleady give up nagging liao... πŸ˜‰

      Thats rt. No hopes any more.
      DS went to school for Sup Classes. From his school(rather his class) there were 3 short listed for the round 2 of NJC. A girl, another boy and DS. The girl got the CO, the other boy and DS still no news. Since going to same school and hence residing in the same area, cannot blame on postal service any more. The reject letter can take it time its own time, I'm in no hurry to receive it. Now just consentrating on the PSLE.

          2nd round selection camp participants is 200. 20% = 40 offered CO? So few? NJC used to accept up to 100 in the past years........that is a huge reduction! Are they waiting to offer more based on PSLE S1 posting?

            Didn't someone mention that they don't take up to their full allotment for S1 Central Posting either? I wonder how many the final intake will be for next year's batch.

              Oh is it, mainly DSA under cca.. :roll: I thought only left 2 yrs only so schools would like students with good grades to join them so tt the school will have good A level results record mah ... πŸ˜‰

              They still need their National schools' awards and medals, mah.

              Oic ... :roll:[/quote]There's also DSA to Polytechnics, you know. ;D But not under CCA, lah. They take in the very good students - those that apply, lah.

Actually DS only wanted to apply for RI (his dream school) but we advised him apply for one more school, so he applied for HCI as well. What about your DS?

                  must be setting very high standards to accept only 20%. OR maybe most of the round 2 participants stressed by the long waiting time for interview or affected by the interviewers (such as cutting off the students before they could give their answers and start asking another question)

                  Those with NJC CO, well done !

                      20% ? That's probably explains why so many here were disappointed.
                      What are they trying to do this year ?
                      Returning to 150 enrolment ?
                      Or increasing the number of S1 intakes ?
                      If so then their cop will definitely drops.

                        Cannot understand the logic, if only intend to take in such a small handful, why need to shortlisted so many? A waste of their time gg thru interview n also waste our time n energy..... They should only short the potential few n not let so many go disappointed.
