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: :?

I'm sure you've already been to this site, which has all the admin details: http://www.nanyanggirlshigh.moe.edu.sg/cos/o.x?c=/wbn/pagetree&func=view&rid=1100722

I don't think there's much she can do apart from consolidate her knowledge in preparation for the tests (if need be, she can try emailing the school to ask for past papers/ what will be tested). It's much too late to be working on her portfolio (leadership, competitions, extra-curriculars etc).

Is she planning on joining a particular programme/ CCA (eg sports or performing arts)? Working on her talent in that specific area would be helpful if that's the case. Doing mock interviews covering predictable questions (why Nanyang, how do you see yourself contributing to Nanyang, tell me about your interests) will also be useful (assuming she gets shortlisted). I'm not sure if the interview covers current affairs/ academic questions, so get her to enquire if need be.

Will your daughter be able to cope with the rigour of Nanyang's curriculum though? Most students will find it challenging due to the sheer volume of homework/ projects/ tests and also the content (it goes beyond the O levels in most cases). I managed to get by fine but I had friends who really struggled in Nanyang (and a poor foundation means you'll have to play catch up for A levels subsequently). That said, I think she should definitely have a go. The admissions tests will probably be a good indicator of difficulty.

Best of luck!

haha thank you micko07 for your helpful tips ! i am sure she can cope with it because my daughter is hardworking. She is working hard on her studies now, she is considered average in her cca but she does not plan to take the same cca if she gets in so now just counting on her to work hard.Thanks !
