      To your first question, yes, because everyone is allowed to apply to 3 schools, so naturally one can take NUSH DSA selection test while applying to other schools.
      To your third question, technically he would stand a chance for schools like NUSH and SST which conducts a selection test for everybody who applied. Not too sure for other schools, they may do a shortlist before inviting for selection test, so may not have much chance.
      To your second question, i hearsay some schools will appoint them as prefect, some force them enrol in uniformed groups. It depends on the school, best is check with them maybe during their open house.
      Thank you for the advise.

        Hi, I have just emailed them. The teacher in charged said they are strict on this criterion only..sadly..If any child ever get in via non platinum feel free to inform us. Thought to apply this sch bec is nearer to home.
        Probably cos the number of offers for math domain is very small in ACSI, 1-2 vs 20 in RI, 170 in NUSH.

              Thank you so much for sharing their reply! Very helpful as now I won't waste 1 DSA option on ACSI Math domain.

                Any instances of schools making offers of a different domain from the one applied? Eg apply under leadership but offered academic instead?

                  Doubt it. Applicants will be assessed and responded based on domains they applied for.

                    Hi everyone, quick question for your kind advice.


                    We have applied for DSA Visual Arts at SOTA.

                    For DSA MOE application, can we still apply up to 3 MOE schools? Or only can select maximum 2 MOE schools?

                    Thank you so much! 😄

                      Yes 3 via MOE portal. Because SOTA portal is separately managed by themselves.

                        From experience , St nicks does not look for the super low single digit scorers. Typically , those scoring AL4-5 does not even get an interview . And neither her do the girls necessarily need to be head prefect or head or CCA either .

                        I would suggest that you apply for both IP & O level track to increase your chances .[/quote]
