DSA 2012
-
My DS didn’t apply for ACSI Dsa as my dh and I have not thought of it. After listening to DS teacher recommendation, we specially went to the campus and DS checked the sch web himself . I think my ds like the school so much. And the sch now becomes his motivation of his studies now. I concern his moral, deportment and behavior development in his coming years in the sec sch.
Btw, we only applied for rv Dsa and no sound so far. Sigh! -
I just received Rejection letter from RV by post today. Those had not received, might be CO...[/quote]
No. I don't think so. I still haven't received any news since now. But my DS hasn't been invited to interview and no noticification yet so far although I know he was being kicked out from successful application.
Anyway, still got psle going on. Work hard![/quote]
I was informed that CO was only sent out yesterday. Looking forward to Monday's mail.[/quote]
Were you informed by RV of that? Does it mean that letters received on Monday will all be COs?
RV's DSA process is tedious and is the last school to give out results. I am waiting too.

Had not planned to DSA to ACSI, but under a friend's (ex-teacher) recommendation, we gave it a try and surprisingly obtained a CO. Was initially iffy about ACIS and thot of trying for WL first....but yet after attending the open house + tea session and listening to the new principal (he started Jun'11), I felt pretty positive about the new P and hope he will really be able to drive the values down. He had stressed on communication & 'family'.....he is aware of the 'rich man school' and touched on available financial aids for those who needs it. Seems like a pretty down to earth man and he was a ex-SJI student.
Personally, I can understand your concern about moral, deportment and behavior development in his coming years in the sec sch. I too have all these concerns. Most of all, being amongst the rich would mean DS has to be very strong in his character, must be able to withstand the temptation, possible taunting (intentional/unintentional) from his peers etc. He will need to learn and I will need to manage his 'why others have, I can't :stompfeet:
One of my closer friend (Hokkien-peng, poor kid) was from ACS....he admitted that sometimes it did get difficult but he also does not denied that the school has pretty strong value system (holistic??)
AC people.....dun :torchme: me
Actually I came from ACJC many years ago. Am chinese speaking, not rich either. Impression of AC back then.....definitely a lot of rich kids & some can be quite :razz: . But the school itself, still OK, we were not pressurized to donate too...if anything, it's more from the students population. However, not all students are rich, and some rich kids are really nice kids. So one would still be able to have some good friends there.
Well, I will also be try to find out more about ACSI during this period. But honestly, each child is different and the people they will encounter/experience will differ too. Until our DS goes in, we would never know what to expect Just have to take a leap of faith and do what I can when the time comes. Good luck to you & DS too.

I have been reading all the threads and hope to get some advice from all the parents here.
DS has a confirmed offer from both HCI and NJC and am in dilemma about which one to choose. His Chinese is very weak and I am worried that he will not survive in HCI. On the other hand, I heard that NJC is too relaxed and I dont know whether that is good for the A levels which is ultimately the more important thing.
Any information on both schools would be appreciated -

My daughter said that today's interview was really hard. They had only 1.5 min to present their personal character information such as: What's ur strengths and weaknesses, the CIP you did, and how you are going to cope with the stress in the coming PSLE, speaking in chinese. Then they will have a debate and a group discussion and you need to present it. ><
My daughter said that the interviewers had to interrupt this China girl during the self intro because she spoke too fast/much.
