2010 DSA(Direct School Admission)

[mathsparks]

Just a guide for those waiting anxiously to know when results are released:


Based on last year’s
- HCI informed by email on 14/08
- NUSH by email 19/08. I think status was published online as well.
- RI by smail 22/08. they sent an earlier email to inform that announcement will be made after the psle orals in order not to affect students’ performance. I found that very thoughtful and caring for the well-being of the kids.

Good luck to those applying for dsa!

is it true that in RI, is it a lot of \"teach less learn more\" that teachers give minimal instructions and expects students to figure it out themselves ?

NUSH is full day and RI is half day

NUSH is easier than RI - so I heard

My DS aspires to be a doctor. Any idea if NUSH or RI is a better start to this route?

GoodMorning Ykiasu,

First of all...Double Congratulations!!!!Give a big treat to your brillaint Son...

I'm too young..just taking my PSLE this year.But, would like to share some facts i gathered from my seniors. Hope it'll be useful to you.

RI - Strong - if your DS is an allrounder. (Including Eng)Cut-off mark to enter using PSLE is the highest.Ie, Higher u are in the rank among others, the greater your chance of winning a seat.Exposure to shine in CC is outbright.Like if your son is a very good debator... then definetly RI will clearly expose his talents to a greater extent.

NUSH - More emphasis on Science and Maths.Not too stressful.Students must be very strong in group discussion, Should clearly outshine others in their group during the camp interview so tht they get selected to their final round..which is a Powerpoint presentation on some science facts.
Very much interested in science and MAths only...then NUSH.Cut- off mark to enter using PSLE is slightly lower than RI.

To be very frank, i din't want this situation of yours to be given to my parents. So, i outrightly said NO to NUSH- DSA. Now i'm given an oppurtunity in RI (Waiting for my domain result ) I think i made a wise decision. If i dont get thru now..(eventhough I have done my best...)let me try using PSLE. Either RI or NUSH will be waiting for me...Rest in GOD's hands....
Good luck to your DS!!! Think and Make a Wise decision.ITs your Brilliant Son's future!!!!

For the NUSH camp, the kids are divided into groups and taken to different stations to complete different tasks throughout the day. You can't join in halfway as you would have missed some of the stations.
