For the others, don't fret...if no CO/WL, go via S1
Ya still hv S1. But for now a yea or nay wd be most appreciated, right?
Remembered reading on ACS DSA FAQ.....if successful, they will call. If not, think will get a mail by end Aug. If nothing by end Aug, then call the school admin. But understand how you feel lah......the wait is torturing.
Yeah we are waiting for Rgs and nygh which don't seem to have announced yet.
Good luck.[/quote] -
The waiting make me HOT. I need Liang-teh - to cool me down.

In 2008 batch it happened that many of our GEP boys who have CO from RI & HCI chose HCI over RI. Todate, most of our high ability boys also chose HCI over RI with T-score above 260.
well said. I asked the same questions few days before any one choose NUSH for RI no replies hmmm.GoodDad:
I just wonder how many students or parents will give up a CO from RI, instead take up the offer from other schools? Maybe a few percent.
I have seen, also heard many parents and students who received multiple CO mentioning \"not sure which one to choose\", \" my DH and DS and DW perfer other schools but my son want to follow his classmate\", \"my heart is with my Alma mater, but my head telling me to go with RI\", ...etc. In the end also go to \"Bishan Hill.\" :? :? :?
I am in same boat . I am :please: praying my DS takes wise decision and comes to reality that Brand name / Alma mater/long history/Friends wont help him to craft his future the way he wants. -

at this juncture, it should be wise for the parents/kid to do research on the curriculum of each of the IP school that has offered CO and then compare and make a decision before last week of October.

putting away brand names - to choose a suitable curriculum for the child in an objective way. any of the schools has great tradition; but friends are not unimportant ..... don't want the kid keeps saying 'aiya, all my friends are there...i am here alone' ..... though they will grow out of it and make new friends and lasting friendship. some of these sec school friendship will last throughout lifetime[/quote]Agree. Go through the curriculum of the schools. They're all a little different. Also consider the ambience, culture and history of the school, whether your child will feel comfortable in that environment. -
:congrats: to Becontended & Omega6 & DC. :rahrah:

YES! After all the leg works and information gathering, the word "comfortable" to my experience is the last puzzle. Of course must consider distance as well.
Really a piece of broadminded and truthful statement from you! -
CanI know the chances of a WL offer? Saw many congrats even for WL. Don't understand.
For the others, don't fret...if no CO/WL, go via S1[/quote][/quote][/quote] -
