DSA 2011

suecat:

After all the excitement of waiting and going down to open the mailbox umpteen times, it s really a big disappointment to hear abt the rejected not getting notified on the same date as those who were successful. But remembered 1 parent from the year before said that her ds s classmates received co, wl and rejects all on the same day. If only njc informed us that they will send out successful letters 1st then it can at least spare us the agony and waiting . This weekend is ESP a long one and dd only applied for this school as it s her dream school for the longest time .

She didn't do very well for her prelims so was banging on her to get through this dsa so that we don't get heart attack after psle result. But alas , it was not to be ..... :gloomy:

Hi suecat,
Don't be too disheartened. Hopefully, the prelims will spur your DD on to excel in her PSLE. All the best to your DD and hope she gets into her dream sch. Jia You! :rahrah:

:congrats: 1248 on your DS's double CO. Both are good schs so a lot depends on the distance, the sch cultures & programmes offered. All the best!

The two schools are very different. One's SAP while the other is modular and Math/Science focused. Is your ds very passionate about Math and Science? If he enjoys a good challenge in Math and Science, and wants to do an accelerated course in it, then NUSH might be a better choice for him. If he's undecided and thinks that he might want to pursue more humanities, than DHS might be more appropriate. I'm not sure if DHS offers bicultural studies. Also, you might want to consider the school culture and CCAs. If you've attended the Open Houses you would have a better idea of what each school's ambience is like. Which school offers more opportunities to your son in terms of academic flexibility, advancement, overseas trips, competitions, CCA competitions, leadership opportunities etc.

Well so far only one member reported receiving letter.
This is unusual seeing that there are quite a few who are waiting.
SO let's just hope it's the postal delay.

Good luck, tisha. Hope you will receive good news tmr.

:congrats: soka on your DD's COs from NYGH & DHS. That's a nice 'problem' to have. Which sch does your DD prefer?
Wish you & DD all the best in making a decision. :rahrah:
