Dr Kiasu:

Got DSA offer from another school. PSLE scored 269 (+3). Applied to RI sup intake and waiting for result. Reported to the DSA school today but dnt know whether need to buy the DSA school's uniform/books as still waiting for RI result. Any advice?

Maybe check with RI when is the latest date the result will be out?

Check this doc for RI supplementary intake info and dates.

Your chances to enter RI with 269 is very high, unless MOE clamp down on strict adherence to DSA. Meanwhile, your uniform and books, you can buy at a later date with your DSA school, if you can't get into RI. Check with your DSA school bookshop and uniform vendors about the sale dates in school.
Gd luck.

Any KSPeers appealed for NJC?


NJC COP have went up to 258 from last year 257. Yesterday when I visited NJC to put in the appeal papers, there were 3 other applicants and the lady in-charge juz told me there are many applications and she don’t know about the chances for 257(My DS marks). From NJC website, the info says "All successful applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application in writing or through a phone call latest by 30 December 2011. ".

Any other souls in my position?

Anyone noticed what the total intake of each school is today?


Bc it does not seem quite so logical that there are more IP places this year but the COPs of top schools have instead gone up. At school today(not IP though), I saw that the number of students in the list total 330. The school has always had a maximum capacity of around 400. . could the school have purposely restricted number of students so that their COP wouldn’t go down?

Like NJC too…they reduced their DSA intake, but their COP went up. I wonder what is their intake size as of S1 reporting day today (including DSA).

Very quiet today.

Guess everyone is busy buying books and uniforms.

Yes. How come you're back so early? Oh your dw is accompanying your ds.

My ds and I reached the school at 8 and were out before 8.45. Process was efficient! Kudos to the school!

RI sec1 class allocation will only be known on first day of school . :roll:

Hi vlim
We didn't have to submit any forms today cuz the deadlines say 'on 3 Jan', not by 3 Jan, right?. The only forms to be submitted is the registration for 3rd lang or special lang which I did not let ds take.

For HMT, if he's not taking, he doesn't need to submit right? Their registration today - my ds juz signed his name and collect the file and books, attended the briefing.

BTW, PE shorts ('s' size out of stock). Next week got to go down n buy again.

i think for your ds school, they may be bringing in foreign students later. Schools usually have a certian quota for foreign students.

Does anyone know the COP for Fairfield?
