2014 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

Stressedupmom:

Just for discussion.

If dsa co is accepted, the student cannot change school as moe has instructed schools not to entertain these requests.
What if the child rejects the co but finds that his psle score is lower than he expected and now wants to àppeal for the school to take him in? Is that allowed? Does he stand a good chance? If so, would future p6s be better off rejecting co and then if get better than expected can go to a more resource-rich school and if not as good a score, go appeal to the school which originally has given you a co?

From what I know, once you have accepted the DSA, you cannot change at all. Once you have rejected, you are back to the student pool and follow what the rest are doing, i.e. to select schools based on the T-score.

The schools they had co for are schools that now they can't get in via psle scores. The schools have told these parents to put them as 1st choice and appeal. Seemed to have given them an indication that with a prior co, there's a good chance.

(just like the transfer after psle for those who accepted CO - now no more transfer)

you can't have the cake and also want to eat it

The difference btw the 2 options is Cedar or SCGS. Both are great schools with similar COP. Would distance from home help in any way to decide which option to go for?
