which school is your ds's dream school?I have a question - my ds was given a WL from his first choice, and was given a CO from another. Should he give up the CO to other now? But worry that the WL does not materialised.
If both are CO, it will be an easy decision.

HCI. Any advice for me?

Yes. It there a possibility that WL might not make it?

Most of the time WL in HCI should be as good as CO.

Best option is probably only decide after PSLE.
If your DS is very sure that he does well, with an estimated T score that should have no problem to get into HCI, then maybe you can give up the other CO. -

Student Z is put on Waiting List (WL) by School A (his preferred school) and given a Confirmed Offer (CO) by School B, his second preferred school.
1) He puts school A as 1st choice, followed by school B. If sch A has enough remaining DSA places to admit him after students who have been given a CO by sch A and have selected sch A have been considered, Student Z will be allocated sch A if he is eligible for an academic course that sch A offers.
2) He puts sch A as 1st choice, followed by sch B. If sch A does not have enough DSA places to admit him after students who have been given a CO by sch A and have selected sch A have been considered, Student Z will be allocated sch B, where he has a guaranteed place, as long as he is eligible for an academic course that sch B offers.
3) He puts sch B as 1st choice, followed by sch A. As sch B is student Z's first choice and because sch B has given him a CO, student Z will be posted to sch B, as long as he is eligible for an academic course that sch B offers. He will not be allocated sch A, even if sch A has enough DSA places to admit him after students who have been given a CO by sch A and have selected sch A have been considered, as he has put sch B as his 1st choice. -

Hi looking4Tutor,

From my understanding, if you put HCI (WL) as first choice and you don't get in, you'll definitely get your second choice, which is the CO from the other sch.
