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.

There might be exception cases . Kids talk in school and compare , there is always peer pressure. I have seen personally my DS before camp and yesterday , he sms me so many times what is the outcome. I have friends with kids who did the same.
