Heard someone received MGS IP email for interview yesterday.

I called MGS ytd as my gal applied only for this for DSA and the admin staff said they will send only on Friday onwards for all MGS DSA applicants so which to believe. All my gal's sch mates tat applied oso said nvr receive anything yet

So did your dd and friends receive email yet? All the best.

Do you think any schools will send out on Saturdays?

Does anyone know how many applicants DHS shortlist for interview and how many places they have to offer?

At the open house, they said there are total of about 120 DSA places roughly 1/3 of the cohort.

In previous years they used to admit up to 50% through DSA.

Under the new psle AL scheme (from 2021) :
they want to spread out the good students to other secondary schools as well, not just confined to always the R/ H family.

So now, they start working towards this goal : no more like last time 50% dsa seats \"chopped\"

Saturdays : some students go to school for Certain Cca (eg : band, guzheng, etc) but officially, not a study academic day.

I only applied 1 school .. Still no news.. They are really keep it till month end I guess. Monday is 31st July.

Don't dwell into the past, anymore.

At that point when u applied for dsa, believed there were reasons then why u only wanted to apply for just 1 school back then, and not more.

What's important is : focus, concentrate on coming psle. If your child do well, his / her T-score is high, child can go to any Secondary school child like to.

Did u apply for the R school? Attended HDP? Nothing much to do except wait. Last year, they announced on the last day, more than one month after the HDP! Maybe focus on other things like PSLE revision. Another month will pass before you even realise it.

Last year, I only applied one school coz my dd did not want to consider the other school. No regrets applying to only one school. Even if her DSA had failed, there was still the PSLE route.
