HI All!


Just wander that it really can't change the school after accepting the school through DSA if one's PSLE Tscore is gd enough to his/her desired school. Then, what is 'appeal' after PSLE results comes out?

Pls let me know.

Many thanks.

if u were to read past posting, a few ksparents did mention that there are successful case of appealing to school b though they accept confirmed letter from school a...but procedure is kind of tedious..

Just need your opinion on if I had to choose one of the schools for DSA, which one should I choose. Both are IP schools and the COP for cedar after PSLE will be higher than last year since it is an IP school as well from this year. If distance is not an issue, how would you rate the two schools?

My earlier post was regarding choosing either NJC or cedar for DSA admissions

Hi SS66,


My boy is in the school volleyball team and also keen to use DSA via volleyball.

Some schools we are considering are: St. Hilda's, Dunman Sec, Victoria, Catholic High.... you can check out past years school volleyball results at http://vas.org.sg/result_school.php

Hope this helps

Thanks !

unfortunately my boy's school did not made it to the national level.
Does tt means DSA via volleyball is not a viable option for me

Hi. I’m new to the DSA system so this is probably a silly question. All the experienced daddies and mommies, pls bear with me.


This is with regards to applying for RI thru DSA - academic track.
If the child has high distinction in ICAS for English and Science but for school results, only gets about 70+, will he even be considered?

Will he be called up to go for the General Ability Test at all?

Many thanks in advance.

Is he is from the GEP stream? If from mainstream, I am afraid chance not high. He will probably have higher chance using his PSLE score.
