      Hi wondering if anyone has had experience getting their kids into Swiss cottage secondary via dsa route? My boy is keen to get into the school.

      Many thanks 🙂

      Swiss Cottage COP is around 240. It's better to try and enter the school by PSLE result (which isn't a high bar to clear), unless you are quite sure your boy isn't going to make the cut-off.

      Do note that DSA, once accepted is non-revocable. If heng-heng (or suay-suay?) your boy did well enough to enter some of the 'elite' schools or even the IP track based on his PSLE results, there's nothing you can do about it once you have accepted the DSA offer.

      Hmmm...I wouldn't say it's not a high bar since 240 is just a few points from the low end of the IP.
      But anyway, you are right about missing out on IP if his score is on the high end of 240.

        Ok, maybe wrong way of saying it :oops:
        Notwithstanding, the key message being if you score higher than 240 or is eligible for IP, you can't turn back to reject the DSA offer.

        P/S: High / low is just a matter of perspective 😉
