Please check the link above. Not a comprehensive one but may help.

Thanks but I don't see there the list of Niche program that top school offer
In DSA sports or music, not every kind they will acept right? Eg, if your represent badminton and have won competition etc but if the school does not need that and it cannot be use to enroll through that school DSA

Am I correct?

Best thing for you to do is to check the websites of the individual schools you're interested in. AND to call them up as well because the DSA niche intakes for sports may change from year to year.

DSA can be sports / music (CCA) or academic based

[luckystar]

DSA means direct school admission via special talents such as sports and music.


Gep also consider a talent, if a mainstrem child do very well in any of the academic subject, participates in various activities or competition also consider a talent. keep the record well, you need them to fill up the forms.
there are children apply dsa thru Eng, Maths, Science, Chinese. Maths is the popular one, the chances is slim.

Sports and music talents, you should participated in school cca, join competitions, you will need a trial for the selection during dsa period. Many childs has been training since kindergarten to be the best. It is not easy to dsa to the top school.

Hope these will help.

Just a rough guide, the top school like RGS, RI, HCI, NYGH, ACSI has about 150 comfirmed places for 1st batch of dsa, 2/3 will be GEPs, 1/3 might be other talents like sports and music. mainstreams has to apply via other talents.
