Hi jtoh,


are you saying that as long as a child has gotten CO fm 1 sch, the place will be reserved for him even though he did not put the sch as 1st choice? I thought if I put RI (WL) as 1st choice, but \"B\" (CO) as 2nd choice, \"B\" sch will give my place to \"B\" (WL) boy since I did not put \"B\" as 1st choice?

The different scenario is painted out in the FAQ session of MOE DSA weblink, see below:

Extracted from moe website. Essentially, if you have a CO from School B and a WL from School A, if you put School A as first choice and School B as 2nd choice, if you don't get into School A, you'll definitely get into School B.

1. I have received two offers, a Waiting List (WL) Offer from School A (my preferred school) and a Confirmed Offer (CO) from School B. Would putting School A as my first choice and School B as my second choice affect my chances with School B should I not be allocated School A?
2. Should I put School B as my first choice, since I am guaranteed a place there?

As school B has given you a CO and as you have opted for School B as one of your choices, you are guaranteed a place in School B as long as you qualify for an academic course (with your PSLE results) offered by School B.

You can put School A as your first choice and School B as your second choice if you prefer School A over School B. You will be first considered for admission to school A if they have places remaining after the other students given COs have made their choices. Past experience showed that an average of 50% of those who selected the school who gave them a WL offer was successfully allocated a place in the school. If you are unsuccessful with School A, you will then be allocated School B, which has given you a CO, as long as you qualify for an academic course (with your PSLE results) offered by School B.

Please see the following scenario to help you better understand the posting process.

Student Z is put on Waiting List (WL) by School A (his preferred school) and given a Confirmed Offer (CO) by School B, his second preferred school.
1. He puts School A as 1st choice, followed by School B. If School A has enough remaining DSA places to admit him after the other students given COs have made their choices, Student Z will be allocated School A if he is eligible for an academic course that School A offers.
2. He puts School A as 1st choice, followed by School B. If School A does not have enough DSA places to admit him after the other students given COs have made their choices, Student Z will be allocated School B, where he has a guaranteed place, as long as he is eligible for an academic course that School B offers.
3. He puts School B as 1st choice, followed by School A. As School B is student Z’s first choice and because School B has given him a CO, Student Z will be posted to School B, as long as he is eligible for an academic course that School B offers. He will not be allocated School A, even if School A has enough DSA places to admit him after the other students given COs have made their choices, as he has put School B as his 1st choice.

Thks Twa Tau. I've read thru. So once a kid has a CO, he'll be given a place in the sch even though he put it as 2nd choice. Thank you!!!!
