NJmom:

anyone has any idea when RGS will notify results of DSA?


Is it all at the same time on 31 Aug?

Previous years, everyone was notified at the same time. It was before 31 August. Can't remember exact date.

Any DD who attended selection test for academic domain last Sat called up for 3rd round (interview) at RGS yet?

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!!!!
