Ow my head is spinning. Let me try to answer as clearly as I can:

1. For DSA, child does not need to score 14 or 16 or whatever the current COP is. If u want to go in by COP then use PSLE route, not DSA route.

2. If child gets CO from both schools, pick the one the child prefers.

3. For DSA, CO will entitle the child to enter as long as psle score meets the minimum AL22.

All the other worries/issues are non-issues.[/quote]

I could be wrong but I thought if CO is given to a child with eg. AL23 in PSLE, he or she will go G2 or the level eligible.
Depends on the level the kid is eligible based on score in PSLE.
AL21 or below is eligible for G3
AL2x or better is eligible for G2, cop of G2 for that sch
AL2y or better is eligible for G1, cop of G1 for that sch

If the CO is from a school with only G3 track (including IP schools), then if the child’s eventual psle score is:
-better than AL22: welcome to CO school
-worse than AL22: CO is void; choose another school via S1 posting

If the CO is from a school with G2 and G1 tracks, then if the child’s eventual psle score is:
-AL23 to AL25: welcome to G2 track in CO school
-AL26 to AL30: welcome to G1 track in CO school

Her child is expecting ~AL15, so i did not mention G1 or G2 cos unnecessary.

Will the child be still streamed to G3, G2, G1 upon receiving CO from the school?

E.g. If my child got AL15.

COP for G3 of school X is 14
COP of G3 from school Y is 16.

If my child got CO from both schools, should I choose school X or school Y?
If I choose school X, will they void my child's CO if he got AL15/AL16? Or will he be pushed to G2 stream instead?
In that case, will it be safer to choose school Y for G3 stream?

Do the schools actually select DSA students for G3 streams only?

Anything less than or equal to AL 20 -

go ... G3

In other words, if a FSBB sch gives CO to a kid, it meant he will get into the sch as long as he met the COP of G1 track once he accepted the CO.
Whether which track he eventually be in, then depends on his actual PSLE total AL score meeting the school COP of each track.

Assuming his \"AL15\" is arbitrary.

Hi all,


Does anyone’s kid here tried DSA-ing using Science (Eg. DHS and TJC) ? Normally what is the requirement from the sec sch to be shortlisted under this category?

You need to specify which school, bec your qn is too general.
Eg.
If u apply DSA (Science) into RI, then the requirements (demand) are high

Hi all,

does anyone intends to apply String Ensemble (violin) to Nanyang Girls’ High School?
I searched in this whole website, didn’t get any pieces of information about who was applied or get offers from NYGH via Violin DSA in the past, will this be extreme hard to get an CO from this school?
My girl is attending an international school and going to apply DSA as a “non-mainstream student “. she passed ABRSM violin Grade 8 with distinction and ARSM Diploma with pass, passed Music theory Grade 5 with distinction, also won some gold and silver prizes during last 2 years. I have no confidence whether she is competitive enough to get an offer.
