      :gloomy: Aiyo...today is such a wet & gloomy day!

      Just recvd rejection email from RGS.. Scratching our heads why DD is rejected...DD is a mainstreamer, top gal in a neighbourhood sch, scoring above 90% since P1, has UNSW High distinctions & other awards, won at least two individual trophies for National Competiton in sports since P4. During the last interview with RGS, DD felt she had done her best & her classmate who was in the same interview as her, witnessed the interviewers being visibly impressed with DD & she congrats her for her superb eloquence & quick thinking. DD as usual in her humble self dismissed the praises.

      πŸ˜„ Luckily, we hv set our eyes with NYGH ( of which a CO has already been recvd :rahrah: ) way before & there was just no deep sense of disappointment but full of WHYs huh? :?

      Hi cestmoi, sorry to hear that. I'm sure with your dd's credentials, she will excel in any school she chooses to go.

      MandyMummy :thankyou: πŸ•Ί for ur confidence in DD. πŸ˜‰

            [quote=\"ngbrdad\"]So quiet today ?

            Gloomy weather all no mood to post ?
            Has NJC sent out the corrected email already ? with proper timing for the interview ?
            Ours is sent to Ds's email account so I can't check now.

            Just received this mail from NJC:

            Dear Applicant,
            Due to the technical error, the Interview Date given in the email notification sent to you on 12 August 2011 is not appropriate.
            Kindly ignore our email sent on 12 August 2011 on Phase 2B- Interview Session.
            A new email will soon be replaced.
            Please note that the 'Date for Interview' and 'Day Activity' are on the same day i.e 20 August 2011.
            Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
            Regards
            NJCAdmission Team

            Did you write to them ?
            Strangely we didn't receive this email today.[/quote]We also din receive :?

              Hi cestmoi,

              Sorry to hear that your dd didn't get a CO from RGS. Your dd applied under academics right? It's hard to say why she didn't get the offer. Maybe her interview and GAT weren't ranked as highly as some of the other girls. In any case, your dd is set on going to NYGH and she's got a CO from them already. So that's fantastic. πŸ™‚

              :thankyou: jtoh..Yes, DD applied under academics & the results came as a surprise to us cos DD felt much more confident in her RGS interview (although she was almost being sabo by a foreigner) than her NYGH interview. Her classmate who was with her in the interview was all praise for her as she cld see the interviewers being impressed by her answers.

              Whatever the case, in my pm to one of the forumners weeks ago, I did highlight that before we embarked on this DSA journey, we have prepared DD mentally with the layman saying that when u wake up the next morning, u may find a higher mountain than before! :rotflmao: & SHE DID! :rotflmao:
