I'd rather not say which school but it is one of the top schools in Singapore. If you're really strong in the sports the school is keen on, it is much easier to get in via sports than through academics for DSA. I have a few friends whose children all got in via Sports DSA.

Hmmm...S'pore Sports School is confirmed to b one of them if i'm not wrong.

I know RV is tough even for sports domain because if u look at the website...they have many tests including EMS. The child must be shortlisted after EMS tests before child can go on for sports selection or special talent in Chinese lang. test depending on sports or chinese lang domain. Just a feedback based on what i know.

My girl's classmates tried RV DSA... didn't get thru the EMS

EMS is? Eng/Ma/Sci, ah?

And, of course Sports School focus' is on Sports Domain for DSA, lah!


I know historically RI/RGS would offer to sports students who are national-level players. HCI, I know recently from friends.

Ha ha .. u are right :oops: Sports School if not sports domain then what !


Wow DSA topic is hot ( at least for i am concerned)

My son last year was offered NUSH together with a few of his class and school mates. From my observation of those students who were invited for the tea session (given confirmed placing before the official confirmation letter to all students) were students who did consistently well (above 90) in their schools's maths or science results over P4, 5 and 6. Almost all of them have either minimum distinction or high distinction in NSW. They should have fared quite well in the NUSH tests as most of them found it rather easy in either maths or science. Most of them also have platinum or gold except a few who have silver in SMOPS. Also, most of them enjoyed the camp and found it very interesting. Hence, I conclude that NUSH is looking for students who have been doing consistently very well for past 3 years and tea session batch is usually about 50 students.

Wonder whether anyone's child has been invited to NUSH's elite tea session yet this year?

Hi, did anyone who apply under the Academic Domain receive confirmation from RI?

ACS(I) states release of DSA result would be on 28 Aug. I suppose other schools would be around this period as well so that children who had applied for more than 1 DSA and recd offers from > 1 sch could have some time to consider and respond. JMHO

JMHO[/quote]You only need to make your choice (for those with more than 1 offer) after your PSLE. The school will be giving you the option form which you then decide your choice (max. of 3).

Hi, I am new. Just want to share with my observation on sport DSA. For tennis, RI only accepts top 4 players in Singapore age group competition. But do remeber that not all top players want to go to RI to ‘suffer’. Another top school can not attact top players, so it has lower the requirement. The coach approached almost whole my son’s primary school team and promise them a place in the school. But few takers as some want to go to the schools strong in Tennis. My son selected RI to apply DSA through maths and this school through maths too. I think sport DSA is that difficult for certain sport as few players.
