      Long story with NUSH. To cut the story short, DS camp was messed up, someone in his group broke a beaker and there were other issues, so he was given a no. We appealed against the camp's event and were offerred an interview to assess ds suitability for the school. However when the interview offer came, we already have RI and ACSI results. We have thought through and we prefer ACSI to Nush so if NUSH is going to be our third choice, then no point going to the interview so we declined the interview offer. In fact the interview is to be held this afternoon.

      RSS, sorry to hear about NUSH's selection camp. It's good that you feedback to them.
      :congrats: to your ds on his CO for ACSI.

          Hi RSS, sorry to hear about your son's experience with NUSH. As you say, it's your third choice, so it's not your loss. πŸ™‚ Good luck to your son for his PSLE and that his WL at RI becomes a CO. :rahrah:

            i love the school, but won't force ds to go there. I think he has set his sights on RI, where most of his friends will be headed..

            Same here.
            Too bad my DS eaten too much kantang and feels that he cannot fit in there.
            We didn't even apply...................

            Btw anyone of you guys went back for the reunion recently ?
            I didn't but from photos posted by my friends on facebook, glad to see that Mr Fong is still very healthy. If fact he still looks the same as more than 20 years ago.

            Yup. I went. Regretted ending my day at the S7 tables... Felt totally out of place with all the Drs there... and \"successful\" people. The topic they talk abt different from the S2, S3 and S6 tables lei.

            sorry. OT.

                        RSS, sorry to hear about your DS experience during the NUSH selection camp. Did the school actually give you the reason for rejection? If not, it is at best your conjecture. Unless that is the official reason from the school, otherwise, to attribute the rejection to the broken beaker, I feel that it is not being fair to the assessor, the school and even the boy who broke the beaker. Anyway, just my 2 cents worth and congrats to your DS in getting WL/CO from RI/ACSI.
