I would say it's around there - depends also on the cohort.
Do try to strive for at least 3.6 if your ds aspire to take up RA for any subjects in Yr 3.

Hi seaglass, any idea which sub is most or least sought after?

Just realized I missed your post. Sorry, GG.. :hugs:
It's hard to say precisely which subject(s) is the most / least sought after, but according to ds, Maths & Physics are quite competitive. For the humanities, History & Lit seem more popular with the boys. Maybe your ds can talk to some teachers / seniors to get a better idea.

Hi ngl,

Nice to see you.
Eoy shld finish and results shld be out by term 4, week 6, right? Won't the teachers be looking at the EOY results before finalising the RA offers.

Hi PiggyLalala,
Nice to see you too.

During the talk, they only mentioned about MYPR but your logic makes sense.

If in term 3 already started the application process for RA, then I guess only those qualified with average 3.6 and respective 4.0 and top 15% for MYPR result have the chance to apply, right? Maybe EOY result is for another reference for final decision.

I know of someone who only got 3.4 in yr2 but still got into Math RA since he was quite good at it. EOY results just make sure you maintain your 85 percentile in the cohort and around 3.6 GPA.

Hi, can any parents of past Dsa applicants shed some light on what are the boys supposed to exactly do if they bring their Irs projects for the interview? Are they supposed to present the entire project or interviewers post questions about the project? To present entire project will take about 8mins. :scratchhead:

[Lovebelle]

No need to prepare the presentation. The interviewer will ask question randomly. My ds was not even asked at all. Brought all the stuff for nothing…

Seems not worth dsa-ing into RI then. Didn't even ask relevant question.

Hopeless. Ask people to bring but didn't ask a thing

I remembered asking my son to prepare a 1 to 2 mins presentation on his project. During the interview, he was asked to present his project but no further questions were asked. However for some of his classmates, questions were asked on their projects after their presentation. So it all depends on the interviewers.

Good luck.
