Hi, I am a student myself and is more kiasu than my parents. and i would like to ask if the accept rate of nygh via dsa is high. I have joined SMBO and doesnt know the results yet. I got bronze for smops. also, is nygh hard to get in via appeal or whatever? I feel quite scared of the PSLE and is there any tips for my questions? any replies would be good.

I guess bronze is not really enough for dsa or appeal to get in nygh. The best is to do well in psle and try to get at least 260 t-score. just relax n focus on preparing your psle, starting from today. you will do well if you put in extra efforts. wish you good luck:)

From my DD1’s DSA experience last yr, it seems like if you’re from the mainstream the acceptance rate for DSA is not as high as GEP. My DD1 didn’t even get a bronze for SMBO but she had done well in her school exams and Bilingual Olympiad (organised by NYGH), so she was accepted via DSA.


NYGH’s DSA process is quite simple, just compile and submit your file (sch results and other accomplishments/ awards), GAT test and interview (if necessary).

Last yr, according to my DD1’s friends who attended the interviews, the interviews were conducted in groups of 5 students (not sure, forgotten the exact number) in front of a panel of Principal and 2 or 3 teachers. The student would start with intro and talk abt her accomplishments/ awards. Eg. if the Principal saw the ‘Prefect’ badge, she’ll ask about the Prefect criteria,etc.

The students were given some soft toys or objects to choose and then explain why she chose that object.

The Principal and teachers were very friendly so the interview was like chit-chat session. So, the interview session was actually quite fun and not scary at all !

Wish you good luck. Hope you’ve got good SA1 results.

That’s interesting. New principal has new creative ways of conducting dsa interview. My DD’s past dsa interview was quite different.

Mdm Heng is very well liked by the students in NYPS & NYGH. Many of the NYGH students now were her students when she was principal at NYPS

Yes, the year she moved over from NYPS to NYGH as principal, quite a number of NYPS girls chose to go over to NYGH too.

Hi all


My DS a NYPS student, would like to know the process of applying DSA to NYGH?

Is GAT difficult? Is she need to pass the GAT then proceed to Interview?

What question they will ask the girls during the interview?

What are the chances for NYPS succeed via the DSA route?

:thankyou: :?
