              actually the mahuan is on the parents who need to do some foot work

              yes, but u should not think oni of the mahuan the parents hv when they want change school.
              must think of all the work that the school went through to pick the student , must arrange for interviews, must check all your certs that u submitted, must call, sms ,emailed on time , otherwise all parents neck long long then complain in some forums.. :evil:
              after all the hard work , the school give you CO , then u get high T score and now think the school not good enuf for you! 😓 :siam:
              lidat not so good right?
              just my 2 cents. 😄

              i agree i agree

                Maybe they feel tt though both are good schools but coming to yr 5-6.. It is better to be in The R family ... :scratchhead:

                  because many NYPS girls going in with t-score of 250, or even 247+3

                    Cop only capture the t score of those going thru s1 posting only. DSA students not taken into account.

                        Hi Trex8,

                        I also receive the 'Acceptance of Offer' email from RGS after submitting the DSA preference form online yesterday. Like you, I was surprised when I read the email. Completely agree with you that the email seems to be

                        targeting the wrong audience.

                        The strangest thing was the email ended with:

                        We hope you will consider our offer to you carefully and we look forward to you joining the RGS family in 2012.

                        :scratchhead: I was thinking why do we need to consider their offer carefully when we have just submitted our preference? This statement seems more applicable before parents submit their preference online. 😉

                        In case u change your mind ... We r allow to amend our submission from now till 28/10 for onetime only ... 😉

                        Oic.... So the final statement is actually directed to parents who are thinking of 'abandoning' RGS after putting them as 1st choice..... :evil:
