2010 DSA(Direct School Admission)

[Sun_2010]

Leanne:

Just to share, last year my friend 's dd(mainstream) from an elite school was rejected by all the DSA schools, but eventually she scored 280 in the psle.So, for those who are not successful, dont give up, just do well in the psle, and u will be spoilt for choice...all the best.


cheers
Leanne

Totally agree.
All those who managed to get in to their dream school and those who did not make it, focus on PSLE. You can do it

Wanted to find out about this scholarship

\"Singapore-Ministry of Education Award (SMA)\"

Only for GEP non-Singapore citizens, who enrol in independent schools. See information below:
__________________________________________________________

Singapore-Ministry of Education Award (SMA)

The Ministry of Education is also offering the SMA to non-Singapore citizen P6 GEP pupils.
No application is required for the award. Eligible pupils will be offered the SMA, provided that they are admitted to an IS and enrolled in the IP of that school at S1.
Upon the release of the school posting results in December, pupils can check whether they have been offered SMA via the S1 Internet System (S1-IS).
Pupils eligible for the SMA who are admitted to secondary schools under the DSA-Sec Exercise will be offered the award if they are admitted to an IS and are enrolled in the IP at S1.

Eligibility
- have met the P6 GEP promotion criteria, and
- are admitted to the Integrated Programme at an Independent School at S1.

Award Quantum
The SMA award quantum for pupils admitted into S1 from 2008 onwards is $2,400, or the annual school fees charged for pupils who are Singapore citizens by the IS offering the IP, less the annual amount of school and standard miscellaneous fees, paid by pupils who are Singapore Citizens in government / government-aided schools, whichever is lower.

Foreign pupils are required to pay the difference between the rate of school fees for foreign pupils and the award quantum while Singapore Permanent Residents are required to pay the difference between the rate of school fees for Singapore Permanent Residents and the award quantum.

The tenure of the award is six years, up to the final year of the IP. The scholar must make good progress each year in order to continue receiving the award.

NYGH didn't have waitlists in previous years. However, so long as no news, there's still a chance for good news right? Good luck!

Oh i see, my dd is from mainstream , SA1 85% above plus head prefect and CCA captain , wonder stand a good chance or not? , left one week to 30/8 . just worried if GAT don't clear , all hopes gone.

Your dd's resume is very impressive. I do know that NYGH places a lot of importance on GAT though. Hopefully she gets through. If not, there's always PSLE. Good luck.[/quote]I also thought so , true just work hard for psle whatever the outcome tks

[For_Pr 2010]

Has anyone got co from both NUSH and RI/HCI/RGS?

[MOE Hater]

Yup, they are out for mainstream applicants.

[obsession]

Has anyone received CO from ACSI? Or has been invited for a tea session?


Do all confirmed letters have the clause something like \"...a place is reserved for him in our school, provided that he indicates xxx as his top preference during the School Preference Stage...\"?

Thanks! :salute:
