Hi it looks like most cases of appeal is already made known. Anyone heard from ri appeal yet? My son appeal for ri and still waiting for results. Was told that appeal cases are overwhelming and they need time. But I suspect those successful are already informed. :xedfingers: :lightrod:

It's not true that most cases of appeal is already made known. I've not heard from a lot of appeals yet - those to Cedar, VS, HCI, DHS, NJ, RVH, CHS, SJI, St Nicks' etc. I supposed need the \"top of food chain\" to start the ball rolling, and the rest will then know the vacancies they have and start their \"recruitment\" as well.

where does the look come from, huh ?

I think they thought about having IB together with A levels some yrs back, but the plan did not go thru. Too much resources req.

I don't think that will happen because once the students know that, most will start mugging and eventually the numbers will be too small to even start a class, just like what happens to HCI.

Actually they told me that we will know results before Christmas. But officially on paper it is 28 dec so I guess it gives them time to draft send rejection letters or emails by 28 dec

Their appeal website says closing date for appeal 22/12.
A panel will discuss and make decision today.
Being Christmas eve and a Sat, don't think any letter will be send out today.
So let's say they draft the letters on 27/12, earliest to receive is 28/12

No nd time to draft letters - should be standard template. Way before they said decisions is made within a few hours. But then later they said due to overwhelming response results will be known by 28 dec. to buy them time. Haiz…
