No lah, I don't think they'll do something like that without informing you. I'm sure they're very honorable.
but again if VS records our phone calls and use it . OMG :scratchhead: will they do it. -

Those receiving more than 1 COs will benefit most from the current system.
I applaud the initiative by VS to request for acceptance by 24 Aug so that some of these COs can be offered to those on WLs. MOE should work with VS and improve on the system, preferably by stipulating earlier results release and centralised COs management by priority. The objective is so that your DC is not deprived of a CO simply because another DC has received more than 1 COs and not required by the system to make a choice until after PSLE.
Just my two cents worth.[/quote]
But the current MOE system already does that and allows for WL to be converted to CO on PSLE results day. Basically, all schools give their lists of COs and WLs to MOE. And the computer will automatically sort out the COs and WLs to be converted based on the students’ choices. No one’s deprived, so long as they were deemed worthy of receiving a WL from the school to begin with. Some schools have a longer WL, like HCI, which has WL1 and WL2. So if any COs are taken up, WL1 automatically moves up to be a CO on PSLE results day. Maybe VS should consider having a longer WL too.
I can see the value in what VS is doing in asking for students to give up their COs if they have no intention of going to VS in the first place. But there’s no need to revamp the MOE system to accomodate this.
Edit to add: I believe the WLs are all ranked when they go to MOE so the computer will convert WL to CO based on ranking.[/quote]
Currently, DCs with COs or WLs have more than 2 months from now till 22-27Oct to decide on their DSA choice. Our DC can choose only one CO, why do we need 2 months to make their choice? The fact that the application process started in May wouldn’t it have given anyone ample time to make the choice by the time results were released in Aug? -

Maybe parents whose kids have more than one CO and are debating over which one to go to, or have a CO from their second choice school and are debating whether or not to take it up would appreciate the extra time to think it through and not stress over it before PSLE? Not everyone has a clear idea of which school they want to go to, based on the posts on this thread.

Had clarified with VS last week. It is not contractually binding as the MOE preference form takes precedence. Students will exercise school preference from 22-27 Oct after the PSLE.

Because there is a choice of more than 1 CO thus the need for more time? If through a centralised allocation of CO by choice of priority indicated upon application, there wouldn't be the need to choose anyway.
Imagine S1 posting released results that our DC is allocated to more than one school !?! -

SNGS's result will be out by 29 Aug. Surprise to know that the interview process is not over by now. :scratchhead:littletwinstars:
Anyone here waiting for results of SNGS DSA for IP? Seems like I am one of the v few here who's waiting.
My friend's DD is yet to be interviewed. :? -

:goodpost: I AGREE. Let's not add on to the kids' stress levels before PSLE. They are only 12-year-old children, who have done an amazing job attending the tests, trials and DSA interviews. Kudos to all the DCs!

My DH and I have decided not to discuss about the DSA outcomes and comparison of schools in front of DS, before the PSLE. DS is one of the many who are undecided, and he wants to focus on PSLE. We wish to support him. -

This provisional offer with minimum score was in the email or letter?Dear parents,
please help with your feedback as I have been worry over this since a few days back.
My child has a confirmed offer from NY Girl School and a Provisional Offer from Raffles. The Raffles one she must obtained at least 235. She is Sports DSA.
She likes Raffles very much but I very worry that she cannot get 235 - then how if she can't get in ?
I tell her to go for NY Girls School but she not keen.
What do you think ?
