Yukilei,

thats what I meant - this Supplementary Intake ( appeal ) works for the schs as effective as the kids. They are just being kiasu also. To me, RI is the most kiasu sch I know. :siam:

Thks strparent. To summarise, if DSA no CO/WL or WL not converted to CO, appeal immediately after PSLE result if result is > COP. Then wait. If no response by S1 posting exercise, apply thru S1 posting exercise.

Bingo yukilei!.. Hope Interested understand by now too...

Hi vlim,

Wow! many ball flying around...i'm trying to catch lor. I just hope my ds got high t-score then no problem whether to appeal or just apply s1 then sit n wait.

Different school different appeal procedure so when i see ds t-score on 24 Nov i will know how to chiong or sit and wait.

RI chiong immd if t-score just hit...cos you won't know the actual t-score scaly miss by 1 mark :faint:

HCI don't need to chiong - they don't entertain me cos i dun have other CO and appeal only after S1 posting... :sad:

Personally, I feel u will stand a better chance when u appeal if you have exceptional performance in sports, performing arts, leadership, apple apps programmer, writers etc. That will make you stand out among all the high scores coz they can get top scorers easily via S1 but if they enrol such students, it will 'enhant' the school in other areas.

yeap...that's y school holistic mah....how about the kids :scratchhead:

Different schools different practice. But what is almost confirmed at appeal stage in most top IP schools is that the kids are ranked by PSLE results :nailbite: I reckon near the appeal cut off point, then the talents as mentioned by nebbermind make a difference for kids with same PSLE scores. Eg if appeal COP is 266 then a 266 boy who is head prefect may be considered more favourable than a 266 boy who is not a leader and no specific talent. Most of the sports and CCA talents whom they want are already recruited at DSA stage. For top scorers ie way above past S1 COP, like what the more experienced parents imply, you choose the school not the school choose you :evil:

But they may have decided to go to other schools so still have to recruit again. When it comes to sports, alot of musical chair...even up to the last day of the yr!

for those with zero success at DSA (tried, but no offer no WL) yet finally got high t-score (not marginal at the cop) which allow them to walk in to any school, appeal may still be appropriate because some school gives almost immediate approval...and being kiasu,

for this kind of immediate approval case, does the stud still need to submit s1 form within the timeframe? According to MOE spell-out process those who have no successful DSA got to go thru s1 posting, right?

Also what if this stud did not try DSA at all, can also appeal to get early approval then wait ?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. The supplementary intake is only for those who tried to DSA into a particular school but didn't get a CO. It is not for those who didn't try DSA at all or didn't try DSA at this particular school.

How can you appeal if you haven't even tried DSA at all? This exercise is not for early intake. If you don't qualify for this supplementary intake, you just submit the S1 Central Posting form and wait for the posting results in Dec. And if you're not happy with the posting then, you can appeal.

well said Jtoh :salute:

finally one of the less kiasu, and sensible comment :evil:

yes, firstly for non-successful DSA applicants, then after S1 posting, for those who changed their mind can try.

KSPs, if your child scores well above 265, why the heck so kiasu go appeal if you did not even do DSA to that sch ???? Just use the $20 give yr kid to spend when he go out celebrate with his/her frens la. :roll:

Just apply S1 posting and wait to enrol, almost as good as in.
