ngbrdad:
Well at least you have closure now.
Hi ngbrdad, fyi we've rec'd the rejection letter fm NJC y'day afternoon. The letter was dated 8th Sept & the post office stamp 12th Sept. Think they must hv prepared the letter & take their own sweet time to drop into the postbox. Guess u shld be receiving these 2 days.pinky88:
[quote=\"ngbrdad\"]Still no letter from NJC.
Think I'll send them an email if still nothing by end of the week.
Anyway it does not matter to your DD.
All the best for the PSLE.[/quote]Well, though we r firm on NYGH but DD is still a little disappointed. Nevertheless, it was a gd exposure for her.
Thks for ur wishes....all the best to ur DS too:) -

Hi ngbrdad,
Well at least there is still hope. :xedfingers:ngbrdad:
[quote=\"TREX8\"]Tks jtoh and Blur Dad for the additional info. What I've shared is my experience with SOTA and what I know about NYGH.
Personally, I feel that it is very unsettling for the kids (and their parents, too) if the school gives the idea that there is a chance of conversion from WL to CO after release of DSA results. Then there seems to be no end of waiting for news.
Seems like alot of waiting and uncertainty. First wait to be called up for GAT/interview, then wait for DSA results, then wait for the letter/email to convert WL to CO.
Worse case is waiting for rejection letter that never arrive and that give you false hope that the previous CO letter may have been lost during it's delivery :?
Don't think you should 'tan' 'tan' 'tan'...just move on....your ds deserve a better school. One that not only on academic but also responsible and considerate for others :gloomy:[/quote]

Have been reading this thread the past few weeks and seems that NJC still needs lots of improvement for the DSA exercise for Sec 1s. Granted that NJC only started taking in Sec 1s from 2008 and it's only a short 4 years for the school to draw experience from.
hi ngbrdad, still no letter from NJC? this is indeed very unprofessional and inconsiderate of them! i have a really bad impression of this school now! :mad:
My DD also did not have a pleasant experience when applying for NJC LAST YEAR. On the day of the taking the HAST at the school, she had to to queue up for more than half an hour to pay $50 for the test fee. She was then asked to wait in the auditorium for another 45 minutes before the test began. This was because there were many other students who were queuing to make similar payment. If I recalled correctly, there were almost 700 students taking the HAST that morning.
According to the e-mail sent previously, the entire HAST was supposed to end by 12.30 pm. However, the whole thing only ended past 2 pm. Poor kids did not even had a chance to eat between papers as we were not forewarned of this possible delay. The school canteen was closed as it was a Saturday morning. Long queues were built up at the few vending machines available. Many gave up queuing as there was not enough time between papers to grab a bite.
Then there was a long wait of about 4 weeks for the HAST result. It was only after National Day when DD was informed that she made it to Round 2. She was invited to take part in some activity on the Saturday morning just before her P6 prelims. According to the school's website, the interview would be conducted the following Saturday (i.e. after the P6 prelims). By then, DD already has a CO from another school and thus she was not quite keen to continue her application with NJC (as she was rather frustrated on the day of the HAST with all the waiting and hunger pangs she had to put up with while doing the last paper). Nonetheless, DH and I persuaded her to attend the camp for exposure purposes and also to 'keep her options opened'.
Then, just 2 days before the activity camp, DD received an e-mail from NJC inviting her for an interview on the following week's Wednesday afternoon for about 15 minutes. She was dismayed upon receiving the e-mail as this would disrupt her revision plans for her P6 Science paper the following day. DH and I were also rather surprised by the sudden interview invitation as this would mean that either one of us would have to take leave from work to bring DD for the interview on Wednesday afternoon, and at such short notice.
After much discussion and deliberation, DD decided that she would like to withdraw her application with NJC. She was rather unhappy with the 'haphazardness' of the DSA application exercise was conducted.
Looks like many forumers here are again experiencing the same frustration which we felt last year.
