Dear firefly38, no need to paiseh. Yes, mine is DD and DSA results for the girls schools were out earlier. vlim and I have been \"sharing notes\" and going through all these DSA anxiety with fellow parents even before the start of DSA.


It's just that my neck managed to \"shorten earlier\" than vlim's as DD's results were out earlier

I am not suprised if many students have multiple COs … so if they keep one and reject the rest, does it mean that their COs will be given to someone else (in the waiting list)?

yes, that is why NYGH principal asked those who got the CO anyone will be rejecting or not, so that she can better manage the waiting list

Yes. In some schools a WL is almost as good as a CO.

:congrats: Funx3!!! Time for celebration with your DD for getting into her dream school!!! :celebrate:

Congratulations, keroppi, on your DS success at RI.


Students with COs/WLs need to decide on their choice only around 24 to 28 Oct. For kids with more than one CO, even if the kid/parent have written in to reject the CO, I don't think the school will give up the place to another child on WL before 24 to 28 Oct - as in, to inform the WL child via officially that he/she is no longer on waitlist but given a CO.

At best, with knowledge of how many kids are likely to reject the offer (like NYGH Principal who asked those with CO but intending to reject NYGH to write in), the school can better manage the expectation of those on waitlist.

My friends whose DSs had successfully DSA for HCl before, told me that the Principal assured them that those on Waitlist 1 is almost as good as a CO as alot of the boys with COs from HCI also had COs from RI.

That's why I say that there are likely to be more students struggling at the higher levels at NUSH compared to other top IP schools, because of NUSH' accelerated programme.

huh?!....u mean all nush students have to take the accelerated prog har?
