      DD got co from Cedar but rejected by NYGH. DD says she may drop the offer from cedar and pursuit the PSLE route to NYGH. I am against the idea as in the end may end up 一无所有. Any opinions from all ksp.?

      You need to decide. We faced a similar situation last year. She got CO from another very good school B but my girl's heart was set on going to school A. Finally we didnt take up the CO and waited for PSLE since I felt she had performed well (just felt but not sure). She got into school A.

        Congrats to everyone who were successful in their DSA application!! 🕺

        To me, making the choice between RGS and NYGH is more difficult than the DSA process itself.
        Now which one to choose?

        Good headache you have there.
        One is fish and chips, the other is xiao long bao.
        One is Angelina Jolie, the other is Gong Li.
        Depends on your DD and what culture you want your DD to be immersed.
        It's subjective, you go read the two school threads plus another thread RGS vs NYGH ...all the best to a wise decision. :boogie:

        Snow Crystal,
        I like this : One is Angelina Jolie, the other is Gong Li.
        So for RI & HCI, it'll be :
        One is Tom Cruise, the other is Jet Li. 😄

          Just logged in to the NYGH DSA website. DD has received a CO.


          DD is in school now. Can't wait to share the good news with her 🕺

          :congrats: to all DCs and parents with CO/WL, and a big thank you to all ksps for sharing information and for making this nail-biting DSA process a fun one. Let's all 加油 now for PSLE!
          :congrats: MotherHen & DD!

            Hi cluessmama,


            May I know did your DD applied through GE domain?
            yes. overall score for sa is mid 80%.[/quote]



            I guess that they are not only looking at result only as my DD overall score is below 80%. Will have to discuss with her which school she will prefers as DH prefers RGS while I prefer NYGH.[/quote]



            Dd's score is below 80% as well and her hcl is :stupid: :slapshead: :stupid: nygh's co a pleasant surprise, esp when the school did not ask those below 80% to sit for gat like rgs did

            It is encouraging that schools do not just look at academic results but take into consideration other factors such as talents/leadership skill/potential as well in their selection

            Once again, :congrats: to parents and dcs who are successful in their dsa. Regardless of the outcome, all should now work hard to attain their personal best for psle!

            Good luck to all dcs! :rahrah:

              A happy problem. Read through the program from both schools. Maybe it'll help. 😄

                  Strongly agreed with what you have mentioned. In fact, we do not have any confidence at all when we applied for both school. It was DD who stay positive throughout the whole process. She was the one who console me by telling me that scoring below 80% is not the end of everything. Furthermore, we do have any idea what the school are looking at.

                  Guess we just have to believe and trust in our DCs.

                  We should just continue to work hard with our DCs to attain their best in the PSLE.

                  All the best!
