[quote=\"ks2011\"]Thank you for all the replies. I heard that maths domain is very competitive. My dd has only got a silver. Tough to compete with all the golds n platinums.

sadly but true.....maths doman is VERY competitive,
if no gold or platinums, hard to be selected.

Yes, even gold doesn't assure you of DSA.[/quote]ya....
heard that if one has gotten platimum, very high chance when DSA in NUSH.

If your dd is planning to only apply for one DSA, then give it a try. She'll have to sit for GAT, a test for her academic domain, and finally an interview, if she makes it through each round. It won't take up that much time if it's just one school she's trying out for. Having said that, my friend's dd was top in her school all through primary school, on the school debate team, applied through English, but didn't get in through DSA.

wow that's tough

my DS classmate from the debate team applied RGS DSA got offered, in 2010[/quote]Some with no debate or whatever cert. got in through DSA, English domain too!

My daughter scores about 90 in English ( P5 and P6 CA1). She was 1st in the level in P5 and participated in the inter-school debate but her team did not win. She won a silver in maths olympiad. Her maths results in school is around 96. Should she apply for RGS DSA or just focus on PSLE? She wants to apply through english DSA. Can anyone advise me on whether she stands a chance.

No harm trying. In my opinion, top students should apply DSA to their dream school only. If can't get in through DSA, then focus on PSLE result.

Yes… I think no harm in trying. Thanks for all the replies…
