My dd 255 with HMT now want to try Duman High with 258 COP. It was not in her 6 choices cos thought she got no chance (last yr COP 260). Anyone have good advice should we go ahead?? :?

if not in her 6 choices, I feel DH may feel 'offended' because from what I
heard, those who send in appeals to schools listed as their no.1 choice
has a higher chance bec it shows that you are really keen to go there
and not as a last minute amendment

Agree with you, but with most schools COP dropping by ~3pts, I believe some parents/kids who think they can’t get in a school at 1st now realise they may stand a chance. Anyone share same emotions??

I am getting confused by the HMT. WHen you said 255 with HMT, does it include the additional 2 points for HMT already or her points is really 255+2? If 255+2, then it's just 1 point away from 258. MUST TRY!

BTW, I was surprised by AHS high COP, a jump from 240+

Hi Heshiew


No harm trying… there is still some hope if you try but absolute zero hope if you dont. Even if this fails, you can tell yourself that you tried and not regret later.

\"Die Die must Try\" S'porean's attitude may works!


U never know how high u can fly till u spread yr wings... :xedfingers:

Just try la, nothing to loose. I went to DHS just now to appeal for my son. Also not in our 6 choices. DD score is 257+2. It is stated that the appeal candidates are rank by merit according to their PSLE score. If your child has special talent, need a t-score of 245. You can download the appeal form from their website or go to the school personally. Appeal close at 12 pm on 26th Dec. Have to attach the PSLE result slips & any other achievements to support your appeal application. When we went there just now, not a big crowd.

Go ahead & try. If you try, there is still a chance. Good luck.

That was what I thought but when I rang them this morning, the staff in DHS told me that is not the case. She even encourage me to appeal for my DS. Anyway, it is stated in the appeal application that all appeal candidates are ranked by merit according to their PSLE score.

For appeal cases, it is up to the school how the school wants to do it.

I see, perhaps there are some changes then, but for the good. :celebrate:
So put aside all your reservations and good luck to all of you
