Hi, anyone received any news from NYGH/Cedar/MGS/SNG/SCGS?

My DD applied for SNGS (DSA for IP) they said will only know by end Aug

[mamago]

Mamago, I don't think it's due to that. I know of non-SC who gets CO from NUSH leh. :?[/quote]



Thanks, Flowermonster. You are right... I myself know someone that's not even a PR of Spore that's currently schooling there....

Just curious, If DS accept a CO, is it mean that he can't apply for S1 posting to NUSH?

The confusion here is, during the open house, NUSH said that for doing S1 posting, if we want to admit to it's school, we must do it on their school website after PSLE result announced..... then, it'd mean that NUSH is conducting it's own S1 posting, not with the MOE centralized S1 posting, right?.... If that's the case, an applicant with or with CO should be able to apply. (???)

Please share with me...

I believed if you accepted your CO, you will not be able to join the S1 posting & NUSH own S1 posting.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MandyMummy. Appreciate.

Hi, may I know if you know of any GEP student who scored 79.9 or 80.x for SA1 and got a WL from RI?

Hi,


The below para is extracted from the MOE FAQ website regarding the chances of being offered a CO for two candidates on WL.

I interpret this as \"If Candidate A puts School X as 3rd choice, and Candidate B puts School X as 1st choice, but Candidate A has higher ranking than Candidate B, the place will still be given to Candidate A, assuming Candidate A did not get his 1st and 2nd choices\".

May I get your advice or input if my interpretation is correct?

thanks a lot!

If two candidates are placed on the school’s Waiting List and both have indicated the school as their 1st choice, who will be allocated first?

The candidate who is placed higher in the school’s candidates ranking list will be offered the allocation first. It does not matter which choice order the candidate puts the school in the School Preference Form.

Hmmmm....Interesting, I would like to know too....

(But, the MOE FAQ you quoted is assuming both put the school as their 1st choice....)

The question assumed both put the school as 1st choice but the sentence highlighted in red said \"It does not matter which choice order the candidate puts the school in the School Preference Form.\". Therefore, I interpret it as the choice order will not decrease or increase the chance of converting WL to CO. It is the ranking in the waiting list that determines it.
