      So if a WL does not become a CO, will everything return to square one ?

      Or you still have certain priority in the queue ? ie easier to appeal ?
      If the WL does not become a CO, you will have to go through S1 Central Posting Exercise. BUT, when you appeal, you won't need to take GAT because the school already has your GAT results and interview records. If you were already on WL and your PSLE results are pretty good, your chances are better than someone else with the same PSLE results but didn't DSA I believe.

            Till Some Parents Kepala Pusing ....
            Funx3,

            I read le, also headache !

            Lao uncle really zu kong zu luan, until I bong zar zar le.

            I try to explain ; basically to summarise :

            DSA is separate from S1 posting.

            Those who has CO and/or WL from the DSA applications, filled up according to their choice(s) earlier. Usually put your favourite school 1st choice ( be it CO or WL ). if have 2nd choice as CO, it is backup.

            When PSLE results out, those with DSA will know if they get into their sch of choice. Those with CO as first choice, auto get it. Those with Wl as first choice, may get it - if not , will get into the 2nd choice CO ( if any ).

            The DSA route then ENDS here. All the rest apply thru S1 posting.

            for those who were given sch of their 2nd choice or 3rd choice, if their PSLE is like say 263 and above, MAY choose to APPEAL immediately to their 1st choice DSA sch through the supplementary.
            for those who without CO and not given any sch, just do the S1 posting ( if high Tscore then can get lor ).
            for those who were on WL and not given their 1st choice sch, and f your PSLE is good, normally u stand a good chance.

            anyone who changed their mind after getting posting of sec sch, may also appeal thru supplementary intake.

            GAT need to be taken only if they did not take during DSA.

            All the rest, just use PSLE Tscore to apply thru S1 posting.

            hope I also not like the other lao uncle make u tao tia.

              Just one last question.
              My DS only has a WL from RI and no other DSA offer.
              We will put this as first choice on the option form.
              So we will know the fate on PSLE results day.
              If no CO and the T score is around previous year COP, just apply again thru S1 posting.
              No other step need to be take.

              Am I correct ?

                      You can try the supplementary intake because your son had a WL. Sometimes RI will come back with a confirmation as soon as the next day. If you don't hear from them before the deadline of S1 Central Posting, fill in the form for S1 Central Posting and hope for the best.

                        Am I correct ?[/quote]I think you should call up RI to check on the correct procedure. (Your ds's WL is from RI right. ) I remembered that during the talk in RI, they mentioned that that WL itself has its own queue different from the S1 posting.

                        For students who have posted to school A through DSA but still hope to go to school B, then they need to go to school B and fill up an appeal form upon receiving their PSLE t-score. Those with high t-score are very likely to be successful in their appeal.
