Oh if my DS has gotten any CO, I'll definitely feel more relief. At least, I know DS will feel less stress during PSLE. So now, I'm Hoping to hear good news from RI or HCI.

Yukilei, don't worry, think your DS should have no problem getting CO from RI and/or HCI. I have confident in him. You treat me lunch if I'm right.

Haha, no problem!!!! Understand your DS also waiting for RI and HCI. Lets hope they can become classmate, if not school mates. [/quote] :hi5:

Was NUSH one of the earliest to release the result last year? Was a little surprise they release result so fast since they just had their camp on 21st July.

The school is usually quite efficient and the school's portal is one of the better ones that I had encountered so far. The school also provides students & parents accesss to their e-space portal (parents can view their kids' modules & results from here) and students also have access to NUS Webmail.

I agree . very efficient. They are the best in using OAS. For other school we need to look for snail mail and they dont even inform if \"NO\" causing agony to some parents making parents worry what if snail mail didnt reach / what if the school called and we didnt pick/ what if email bounced/what if ph no not given correctly .

What if questions always arise to me from closing door to switch of gas :imanangel: (I did have some stupid question and enquired NUSH after the camp to reconfirm).

Any news from RV, NH & Bt Panjang High DSA? Any interview or WL/CO letter receive?

DD told me there is one girl that she met has tried for 11 schools! Dragon year is really a very competitive year.

11! :yikes: where she finds the time to go for so many?

To much pressure for the kid mentally. Why dont parents put themselves in children's shoe to think how they will be stressed due to -ve outcomes and it will have impact in their performance in PSLE. I think MOE should step in to decide how many max schools the parents can apply via DSA.

The best thing is during the interview, the girl told the interviewer she applied 3 schools only But between girls talk, she told DD in fact she applied 11 sch. :slapshead:

Is this girl applying via CCA or Academic? How do you find so many schools to apply for????

And I thought my friend applying for 4 schools was a lot already.
