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:

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

: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?

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?

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?

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.

Any info on SST.

That's what I thought, though I also feel a bit paiseh to call up the school to turn down the offer. But if I were to have WL, I know I would feel infinitely better the earlier it can be converted to a CO.

Will talk to DD tonight. If she's 100% sure which school she wants to go (and I think I already know), I'll give the other school a call.

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:

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.

Yeah, better leave this matter for discussion to after PSLE. However, can use this opportunity to spur him on to aim for the best in PSLE. :grphug:

Hi cluelessmama,

I like your analysis. And I agree that sometimes things do happen by divine intervention. And possibly your 'RGS etched on forehead' reason may not be far from the truth.
