DSA 2012

tired mom:
I'm sure our dd will be fine. I have asked her how would she feel if one school were to reject her. Her answer was this: then go to the school that wants me. that's the reason I applied to 2 schools, right?! :imcool:Agree with you... divine intervention. :hi5:
My dh told me this morning that he had been
for the DSA result to show a clear indication on where she should go. I think it cannot get clearer than this :roll:
Just hope my DD will not take it badly when I tell her later, even though she had always been quite neutral between both schools. :xedfingers: -
Hi
Received email notification, my DD is on WL for NYGH. Anyone knows what aggregate she must get from PSLE to get in? Or this WL is just as good as CO? -
BeContented:
Ya... still have time. Can discuss after PSLE.... no need to stress nowI also believe in fate & divine intervention. DH & I all prepared to accept the only CO DS has on hand after being rejected by HCI. Thot DS already agreed but last night, he raised the possibility of forgoing the DSA & try again via PSLE. :yikes: :faint:
Now I dunno what to do. Just told DS, we'll discuss about this after his PSLE is over. So he better make sure he studies hard.
Concentrate and \"chiong\" for PSLE first! -

Me too, me too!!!!I also believe in fate & divine intervention. DH & I all prepared to accept the only CO DS has on hand after being rejected by HCI. Thot DS already agreed but last night, he raised the possibility of forgoing the DSA & try again via PSLE. :yikes: :faint:

DS actually prefers HCI > RI, though he is ok with both sch. When his good friend (whose result is better than him) didn't get CO from RI but CO from HCI, I was thinking : Oh it's really fated !!!
But who knows, he just told me yday that his good friend may put RI as first choice. :slapshead: He then said he'll try to convince his good friend. I cannot tahan so told him that he has to read info from both schools & decide base on curriculum, culture, feeling, liking... etc & not his good friend. -

Congratulations to all KSPs and DDs who got CO or WL from NYGH!
:hugs:
I look at it as \"divine intervention\" - My dd has always been a \"fish n chips\"(sorry snow crystal, I am stealing your line) cum grilled salmon girl rather than a xiao long bao girl. Almost everyone whom I know says that she might eventually land in rgs. It was only after the gep fiesta that she became interested in nanyang. Her reason? - that's a place where she can improve her command of chinese language.
Throughout the whole dsa process, she has told me on several occasions that she would choose nanyang if they accepted her. Actually, I have been quitely worried that she might not fit into nanyang. This is because even she herself has said that her personality and profile are better fits for rgs than nanyang. So with this outcome, at least I can lay fear to rest.
Agree with you that the outcome is a little perplexing. Based on what she told me about the interview, I thought she was quite ok. Perhaps from the interview, they could see the initial \"rgs\" etched on her forehead :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
My dd got rejected by NYGH but luckily has a CO from RGS. Like cluelessmama, I too, think my dd had 'rgs' all over her. Probably didn't help that she told NYGH that her siblings are at Raffles :roll:

Also know of a friend's DS who gave up CO to another gd sch and got into his dream school based on PSLE result. His PSLE score turned out to be the same as the COP though. They considered prelim results and how their DS thought he did in PSLE. It's a very difficult decision to make and my heart goes out to you. All the best to you and your DD.[/quote]Thanks for your comments. Will let DD decide her fate.ks2011:
[quote=\"isetan\"]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 δΈζ ζζ. 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. -
:thankyou: yukilei, GLORYmum & ruohoo97.
Just wondering, if my DD has already made up her mind which co to take up, do we inform the other school? Will that help to expedite the conversion of WL to CO for another candidate? -

Unprecedentedly, three such cases this year so far.... Yes agree with divine leading!

MotherHen:
I feel we should. Though it is bit peisah to say\" No\" to school that gives your CO. But it will be better for others who are holding WL, they get higher chance to be converted CO earlier, right?:thankyou: yukilei, GLORYmum & ruohoo97.

Remember one of ks parents from last year shared that NGYH invited WL holders for tea session as well. On which the Principal told them, if they put NY as the first choice, it is almost certain that they will get CO. (one parent referred it as music to his/her ears). Hope that will be the same case this year.Hi
