      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.

        What if it's a case of WL not materialise into a CO, with a T score exactly or 1 or 2 points below previous year's COP ?

          But isn't s1 form good enough if the T-score is higher than past cut-off, why the need of supplimentary exercise to appeal ? :?

          so I think the appeal process is only meant for those who have accepted CO else where and want to use PSLE to switch. No? But then why RI supplementary/appeal process require stud to do GAT and pay $20 as stated in their website? Getting very confused.

            aiyo..it is to practise kiasu-ism and play safe..scaly with the high t-score still lower then this yr cop then jialet liao...so go appeal once get psle result and as what vk2010 said..hopefully the school will approved the appeal even before you submit the S1 selection form.
            This is especially for those DSA applicants who with NO confirm offer or wl at all so they didn't get the chance to fill in the option form in 24-28 oct ..

              Aiyo..then appeal for what ah? If higher then T-score should be just sit and wait liao if appeal is not for this purpose... 🤷 getting more complicated....any parent here is in the DSA selection panel can advise ? :rotflmao: fat hope in think :siao:

                    Huh, I thought put the school that give you WL as First choice on School Peference Form and wait for PSLE results day. If did not get posted there, then appeal right? :scratchhead:
                    Will WL become CO after PSLE results day? No right? :scratchhead:
