Anyone receive for NYGH DSA Sports?


I had called NJ and they told me they sending batches for interview... but I sense they are paying lip services as too many parents probably calling them for updates..

DSA via general academics is still there, so not sure how reasonable it can be this year...

No general academics, only specific academic subject, e.g. Maths, science, English, mother tongue.

RI and HCI, applicants in same domain go through same process, should be fair.

The application process/form may be so, but not necessarily the shortlisting process. It can still be considered as general academics...[/quote]DSA allows flexibility, but ultimately the school also has to consider the impact on the DSA students if they are unable to catch up with their schoolmates. It is an improvement already for DSA to focus on students with specific strength in CCA or particular subjects. I would think that DSA has served its function by admitting students who are very strong in specific subject, but slightly weaker in other subjects such that they may not qualify for PSLE COP of the school. DSA is abused if the school takes in mostly students who can easily qualify on PSLE score.

Heard that RI is admitting less than 50% via DSA this year.

All The Best to your boys !!

I think it is MOE's general direction... HCI and RGS both said during their Open House that they are admitting only 35% via DSA this year. Perhaps MOE doesn't want the IP schools to \"chope\" so many seats via DSA - to spread some to other sec schools....

It seems that the DSA this year will be tougher, especially since it's the first year post MOE announcement on the DSA changes. Although changes are not required immediately, all schools will start aligning to it.
