Keep cool. Should be no problem one.
We all putting RI out of our mind for the moment, concentrating on the selection test for NUSH this Sat.
Haven't submitted the DSA application for NJC yet. Really taking out time since closing is on 27/6/11.

Only need to submit online, don't even need to send in any documents - so difficult to submit, ah? hehe.

Well it is not difficult .Just that the personal statement of 300 words rule must be adhered to. DS wrote over 400 words and have to edit and edit online to restrain to the rule, bearing in mind there is kind of time-watch in place , in case get thrown out by taking too long time at editing it. A little challenging there only lah :)[/quote]you can draft it on your MS Word and edit all you want to not exceed 300 words; and after login to the DSA application system, then copy it in, no worry about being log out from the system. Not as bad as this ksp leh...kept being log out many times today

Someone mentioned in the thread that MOE has a list of Sec schools which offer SBGE for the GEPers and understand CHS and SJI are in the list. Questions here is for the GEPers who are unsuccessful in getting an offer to RI, HCI, NUSH, DHS, RGS, NYHS. Does MOE post them to MGS, CHS and SJI ? If not, is it neccessary for GEPers seek DSA to these schools as backup?

CHS and SJI is not in the SBGE according to MOE website below:
http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/programmes/gifted-education-programme/gep-schools/

CHS and SJI are listed together with SCGS and MGS in non-IP schools offering SBGE.

May I know where do you get the information from? I was checking out both SJI and MGS websites but they are not specific on their running the SBGE programme leh? Actually I am also not sure exactly what is the nature of the SBGE programme run by the 7 IP schools mentioned by MOE?

Twatau, it’s on the same page as the MOE link you gave earlier.


SCGS calls their prog Talent Devt Prog.

We'd booked it and paid online and had the confirmation and all, so I guess the confirmation of details for the test time will also be by email?

Oh phankao, your ds trying for DHS DSA ? All the bests to him

Yes, he's trying DHS & CHS. But all under performing arts.

Yeah, that's what we did last time. I had my ds write his Personal Statement on Word Document and have it emailed to me for checking.

Since your ds already wrote 400words - help him edit lah. Poor thing. Afterall his original meaning is all there already.
