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:

Congratulations to all KSPs and DDs who got CO or WL from NYGH!
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:

Next time, our dds must apply lots of foundation and bb cream to cover the \"3 letter initials\" on their face! :evil:

Just called home to tell my dd the news about NYGH. She said their HOD mentioned that this year a lot of girls were unsuccessful or on WL.


Why like that? Wondering what specific criteria NYGH was looking at? :scratchhead:

Hi musette

Your DD got CO or WL? How come her school's HOD knows there are many of them either rejected or WL?

Thanks.

Scgs results tomorrow

Hi yolksg,


My dd got CO.

I’m not sure how the HOD knew, I’m assuming that NYGH sent the list of DSA applicants and results to her school.

It seems like NYGH is very careful in the selection this year. Will it affect the chances of WL converting to CO since they're striking off girls showing the \"rgs\" factors?

Or the HOD reads this forum. :evil:

You have a point there. It appears that NYGH is offering COs to students which it thinks are less likely to select other schools over them --> fewer students giving up NYGH CO ---> less likely for conversion of WL to CO.

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

Was just told of another case. 塞翁失马，焉知非福.[/quote]Wonder if the rejected cases were from RGPS ? NYGH might think RGPS gals won't go there Still remember there was big group interview and small group interview... so are all these cases from the small gp interview ?

Was there a difference in the calibre of the students who attended the big group vs small group interviews?
