I think many parents out there, like me, do not know can go direct appeal after results is out.. For cases with all unsuccessful DSA.... Or am I the only mountain tortoise ... :oops:

Suaku No 2 Reporting here, vlim!
:rotflmao: :rotflmao:

suaku no. 3 here!!! so KS (kiasu) parents can be SK (suaku) parens too! :rotflmao:

yes, i knew can appeal after the release of psle results, but thot only for pupils with a school posted to them (that is printed on their psle results slips), which may not be the school they want to go (eg. a pupil who is posted to HCI (CO) but wish to appeal to RI). but for pupils who have no school posted to them on psle results day, thot they have to apply for the school they want to go thru S1 Form?

maybe, can even appeal BEFORE the release of psle results??? :scratchhead: :faint:

Same here. I actually thought that Supplementary Intake Exercise is different from appeals after release of S1 posting results. They are all the same, appeal procedures. :scratchhead:

So I’m one of the mountain turtles as well.

Always thought that once rejected from DSA for a school and that’s it.
The rejection letters do said they strongly encourage you to apply again to them with your PSLE results.
Nothing was mentioned about any appeal though.

apply AGAIN = appeal ? mathematically no, but end result is same

this time 'apply AGAIN' only has a one-page form to fill, with the top right corner 3 big squares provided to fill in the t-score with big hand writing and big numbers too

All the while I though apply again means putting the school's name as first choice during S1 posting if the T score makes it and then sit and wait.

Silly me. Real Suaku man.

Strongly encourage to apply is a 'hint'... :hi5:

Sry, I not only suaku but kundo... Let's use examples to help understand better. Specifically, it seems to only applicable to RI process rite? If the studA was rejected by RI dsa and not given any other CO/WL and his T-score is lower than previous yr cut off. So he should also go submit the RI supplimentary exercise, pay $20 and submit S1 form putting R1 as first choice. Are you all trying to say that?

[verykiasu2010]

me think if the actual psle score is lower than past year cut off point - it is stretching the faith too thin by going to the supp admission or appeal, whether immediately after psle result or after s1 posting result


the whole discussion has been assuming no WL / no CO but t-score is higher than past cut off point, then it is "strongly encouraged to apply again", implying not waiting for S1 posting result then appeal

being independent school, it has 100% discretion on admission

if the student has been rejected at DSA and then the PSLE t-score seemingly lower than past cut-off point, then the school would seemingly be justified in rejecting the applicant, and I think quite pointless to re-apply or appeal.

Don’t raise expectation only to be disappointed.
