Hi be contented,


Can I check how u know you are on waiting list? Is the status shown WL?

Reason for my asking is that my DS has the same status as daddy_psp but he is asked to go for interview this week. daddy_psp, is this similar to your case? That is why I find the whole thing very confusing. Any help/clarification will b appreciated.

Online portal - Status '-' and Date is updated as 30/07/12
No link to accept.
But received an email that congrats DS, mentions he's on Waiting List and will receive 'Waiting List' Letter on 4th Aug, will receive an invitation card soon and also given the itinerary for 4th Aug.

Not sure if status will be updated later.....but so far this is what i have.

Hi leelimc,

May I know if you have the link to accept the tea session invitation?

Hi BeContented, Daddy_psp,


Thanks for your responses. It helps to clarify somewhat.

Now I am wondering if my DS outcome is unsuccessful by 3rd Aug, what will happen to him? Even out of waiting list ? :? Guess in a few days I will know.

Haiz......all the stress. :frustrated: I really prefer a straightforward Yes or No. :slapshead:

Hi daddy_psp,


Yes, we do have the link to the tea reception. Like you, we are not sure to click the link or not, since DS status is pending.

Hi leelimc,

Fully understand how you feel. Just hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Good luck.

What an exciting day!


For those with WL, congrats! It's almost time to pop the champagne...that is, if NUSH is DD/DS's first choice

DD was on WL last year too, so we can share our experience.

1)If DD/DS is on WL, the online system status will be reflected as 'pending'. So if you see 'pending', that means you are on WL. DD's status was 'pending' too last year, and we found out that = WL.

2)If you get an email from NUSH saying you are on WL, you will get an invitation to the tea session/preview in SNAIL MAIL. You can either wait for that and rsvp as instructed, or rsvp via the online system. both are fine.

3)When all CO/WL are finalized for all DSA school, you will get a DSA option exercise form. If NUSH is your preferred school, just put it as first choice. From past history, it's 99.9% confirmed that your WL will get you into the school. DD was offered CO at NYGH, and WL at NUSH. She put down NUSH as first choice and was given a place when PSLE results were announced. Nothing to lose anyway, as in the case that NUSH rejects you, you will be given a place in your CO school, even if you put it as your second choice.

4)On PSLE day, along with the results slip, those participating in DSA will get a slip of paper confirming the school they've been posted to.

I hope that clears the air and calmed your nerves.

In any case, for those who've made up your mind to come to NUSH, welcome to the road less travelled! :grphug:

My DS is not offered admission. How sad. We are disappointed of course. He says he would try again. He is THAT keen. I am just glad that at least we know early. It has been fun being here. Continue to have fun, the rest of you

Same here
(Haven't broke the news to him, he has been asking since morning, called me during recess to remind me to check on NUSH website.... he'd be very very very disappointed... he has been dreaming of going to NUSH since P4.... now hope dashed )

AWWW....I was rooting for you guys! IMO, NUSH is one of the few schools that give kids who are not 'exam smart' a fair chance, with no preferential treatment given to GEP students...but it's ok. One thing I learnt from DD's DSA and PSLE experience last year, NEVER let your child feel like his/her life depends on one decision/outcome, life is full of possibilities! It might spur him on to work harder for PSLE!

Hi tiggermum,

For point 3 mentioned, I thought if the child is given a CO, he has to decide whether want to accept or not before PSLE commences, but not whether to accept after the result announce?

Do the kids need to be in school uniform for the tea session or can they wear house clothes? TIA.
