DSA 2011

[Blur Dad]

For RI Supplementary Intake. I guess all the KS parent and students will apply regardless got CO/WL/Rejected or not. As long as I do not have CO from RI, I am a boy, take PSLE this year and PSLE result qualify for Express Stream, I will try. Who know what will happen. It does not state the criteria in RI admin web site that students must have xxx PSLE T-Score before you would apply.


I think there will be thousands of students and parent flock to RI after PSLE result release day. Then RI will be counting money….Ho Hoi Sum(very happy in Cantonese) counting $$$$$$$. :moneyflies: :moneyflies: :moneyflies:

Back to my question, am I right to say COP is just a guide? not necessary can get in even if score > 259? Depending on vacancies & number of students applying right?

Yes, it's just a guide based on historical COPs.

yukilei,
If you look at previous year's COP, then it is only a guide. That's what you will have as guidance before S1 posting. After S1 posting for that year, then all those who scored above COP (for that year) and participated in S1 posting will be posted to that school. If the PSLE score is exactly the same as COP, then he may not get into that school. Those scoring above COP yet cannot get into the school was because they did not participate in the S1 posting exercise as they had earlier accepted DSA offer from another school. And then all the discussion about appeal will apply.

Hope it clarifies for you.[/quote]yap, clearer now. :thankyou:

but nobody knows the t-score until nov 24

and nobody knows the actual cop for the year until dec 21

so, if you can get a CO from a reasonably good, among the top, IP school, would you exercise the option ?

Read in another thread a father shared their experience.
The son got WL for HCI and CO from other schools.
The son very sure about his PSLE results so they only submitted HCI as first choice on the DSA form to avoid any possible hassle.
Nothing mentioned about the final outcome but guess their gamble paid off.
However most of the time HCI WL is as good as CO.

common sense prevails

not any t-score would / should go to appeal lah. be realistic

don't waste time and paper and money and hope if the t-score is not near the cop (as a guide). don't expect the cop to suddenly drop to 240 or even 250.....and say wah paing, should have appealed ......

in any year, the top 10% of the cohort is 250 and above, based on anecdote evidence, that is at least 4000+ kids in the whole wide singapore

and the top 3% is 260 or 265 ?

RI / HCI / RGS / NYGH combined takes in only 450 x 4 = 1800
NUSH & NJC takes in another max 400 combined, that gives you 2200 places

then add DHS, ACSI, RV, plus a few new & to-be IP schools......

that is where the majority of the top 10% gone to

and $20 or $60 per person is not even a drop in the ocean for the operating budget of an IP school
