Phone call with good news for my boy first thing this morning. Nothing so exciting, not premier school, but comforting news nevertheless. I thought not to let him know so he won't be too \"proud\" of himself, but got to go for meeting tomorrow. ;(

Ms tay:

My ds scored 268 - 275(since p3- p6 ) he got 1st in his level every year in his school .I really dont understand why ri and hci rejected him . Anyone can explain ???

:hugs: Hi Ms tay,
I wanted u to know that my heart feels for u as my DD was in the same postion as yours when she was rejected by RGS. Like urs, DD was an outstanding mainstreamer in a popular neighbourhood sch. Armed with being a top gal in her sch since P1, excelling in CCA, UNSW competns and leadership positions, we decided to embark on this DSA journey. We prep & tested her on her best subject, English. She cld handle up to 'O' level standard & not to mention, literature poetry too. Hence we were assured that she has shown exceptional abilities in her pet subject.

During the 3rd and final round, the expressions given by the interviewers seemed very positive but :? strangely, despite all that, she was eliminated!
:love: A few very kind forumners pm & consoled us that because DD has no problem in hitting well above the COP for RGS & in view of the limited places left for mainstreamers, chances are the sch wld give COs to those more in need.
Whether it hold any truth, we decided not to dwell on it anymore.

Naturally DD felt disappointed & at that time, she felt that she was being made a booboo! :stupid: Our reactions to the matter wld be detrimental to their feelings & morale. We did our reflections & what came out of this DSA journey was invaluable. Honestly, we wld constantly remind DD to stay humble & know for the fact when she wakes up tmr morning, there maybe another higher mountain being found!. No doubt, it was made a little easier for us to handle this rejection as we did strategise for NYGH and a 2nd tier IP sch, & she has now gotten 2 COs as her safety net.

Ms tay, I believe there will be no answers to our rejections....WE WILL STAY STRONG & MOVE ON! Show them what we hv got & I am sure ur DS will still be able to make it to his dream sch via PSLE results. :rahrah: All the best to your DS!! Jia you!!! :rahrah:
