: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.

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 about it. All is not lost...Your DD has a CO from NYGH
and with her impressive academic and CCA achievements, I'm sure she'll continue to excel in NYGH. :ugogirl:

Actually mainstreamers must perform extra hard and outstanging for the top ip schools' DSA process inorder to be offered CO.. So 3 cheers to the kids!!! :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah:

Pleasantly surprised when DS called me and said he received a WL for RI.

Well at least it's better than rejection............

:congrats: ngbrdad......that's wonderful news!! Hopefully, it'll be a CO eventually. All the best to your DS.

Frankly, DD was having a bout of bad flu when she sat for the final round in the GEP test during p3. If she had been in the pink of health & cld perform to her optimum, her DSA journey cld hv been mapped out differently. Though the family GP doc who has been seeing her since very young, pre-empted me that DD is gifted & to watch out for her... & when the crucial time came, I was like : what can I do, the flu bug likes her leh, keeping sticking on her! :rotflmao:)

YES, answers most definitely to ur post that the mainstreamers, DW & DH need to make plenty of mental preparations in this ardous DSA journey! :evil:

DD was asked in Chinese for this question. As the question was directed to her only, she had to speak & din hv time to sort out her thoughts. I remembered her telling me that though she was not very fluent, pausing to think in between but her answers was something like that : 乌鸦尚有反哺之义, 何况是人呢我重视他们的意见...(the rest in chinese abt thinking it through with parents)

Sry she koon liao, can't get exact answers at this moment...Hope that bit helps!

wa....so chim! what it means huh

I think she meant that she will respect and will take her parents' opinion into consideration when deciding on choice of sec sch.[/quote]Thanks Pen88n for helping me to explain the above!
