Then why did you apply to RV in the first place ?
If RV is too far for you ACSI may be far too since it's on the west side too.

[quote=\"Parsingh\"]Thanks vlim. Do they consider PSLE score during the appeal process?

I think most likely yes.. From the sucessful appeal cases tt reported here so far .. They are same cop of the school just maybe short by a few decimal pt... Like your case ..

Thanks. Hope DS gets into his favorite school. Keeping the fingers crossed.[/quote]Appeal rejected. Was told that PSLE score has no relevance or has little relevance during appeals. There are other considerations (unknown). DS can not understand the fact that school is accepting other appeals ignoring someone who has scored exactly equal to COP and given ACSI the first preference. Poor kid.

:yikes: :nailbite: how can that be?! Same score as COP and juz miss by decimal places. Did you furnish any other docs eg p6 results or report book comments by teachers which did not act to his favor?

how come they inform you so fast? normally they consolidate and inform unsuccessful ones like end of next week.

oh dear... your kid must be very upset...
Help him settle into the school he is posted to. Every school presents its unique opportunities. If he keeps an open mind, seeks out these opportunities and puts in the effort, he will be able to shine, if not better!!!

I contacted the school and got to know my appeal was not successful.

Every document was attached.[/quote]I mean anything in the doc not in his favor? Eg comments by teachers or conduct etc. Sorry don't mean anything but just want to help you rationalize the school's train of thoughts. I do not understand how come same score as COP can't appeal successfully. Or another big possible reason: Your boy not from their affiliated school? Maybe priority given to affiliated boys' appeals.
