Do non-GEP student has much chance with DSA

[wiimum]

Super P:

My son was lucky and got a Platinum last year after trained by ALC. I was quite impressed and followed up to let him attend the DSA course. The centre prepared him with GAT, interview and boosted his confidence and motivation. To my surprise, he managed to secure DSA offers from several top IP schools. I am now planning for my other kids. In case some of u are interested, the tel to ALC is 65697773.

I am just curious, is your son from mainstream or GEP?

May I know what ALC stand for? How long was the maths olympiad training? Where is it located. How long was the DSA training and for what schools? I am just curious how you know if the training is relevant to the school you are applying for?

Anyone who gets a Platinum in the Maths Olympiad is almost guaranteed a chance in the IP schools through DSA. This is the type of \"talent\" they are looking for, to help the school win more awards in the years to come. And also, these schools have the resources to further develop and nurture these talents.

So now we know why most of those Olympiad winners (in Sec, you have Physics, Maths, Chem, Infocomm etc) come from the few IP schools.

I must agree with you that the kind of talent sought after by these IP schools are of the highest level. One example is getting a platinum for SMOPS. Even for sports, music or other fields, it the pupil with exceptional kind of talent that stands a chance to secure a seat via DSA in schools like RGS,RI, HCI .....especially if the student is not from GEP stream. GEP students some how or rather are able to secure places in one of the IP schools, many get offers from more than 1 school.

For non-GEP students

My son is from the main stream. ALC does have a website and email address but sorry I cannot remember. I only store its contact no in my mobile…

Hi Super P, how many out of how many of their trainees got plat and gold last year from ALC. How much do they charge per hour? How effective is the DSA training to most participants? It seems that they mainly selemct those Maths Olympiad winners who seem to have a higher chance in their DSA for the DSA preparation class. What is their track record like?

Where did you get the information that they only select the Math Olympiad winners for their DSA preparation class? Did they tell you that?

Yes, the top IP schools will go all out to get as many Platinum winners as they can.

The team to represent Singapore in the International Math Olympics this year has just been chosen. There are 6 of them. 4 from RI JC and 2 from NUS High.

1 of the NUS High student chosen is only in sec 2 this year. He had a platinum but came from a non GEP neighbourhood primary school and got into NUS High thru DSA.

At only sec 2 and being able to compete at the JC level, he will be able to bring more awards for the school in the next 5 years.

Do not be discourage by schools only selecting award winners, etc. My son is not an GEP student and also not an award winner (not even a bronze) but he went thru the DSA for Maths in the top school last year. Go on and let your child has a chance to fulfill his dream. He will be motivate to do well if he wants to go to the school.
