NMOS 2011 - Special Round Results

If your dd is very good in swimming, it's an easier path in to DSA. Swimmers who consistently get medals at Nationals get spotted by the DSA school coaches way before the DSA process. The parents are approached and their chances of CO are VERY high.


Conversely, there are hundreds of math whiz in Singapore vying for DSA places. It used to be that a Platinum or Gold would stand you in good stead. Now that's no longer a guarantee.

Thanks Pen88 and jtoh for your replies. Was out of town the past few days.

Yes, i think it is easier for my dd to get gold or silver for the National Interschool Swimming than for NMOS. She got 2 golds for individual events last year. But I don't think we will use swimming for DSA next year either. I prefer that she gets in through academic. She's in GEP.

wow, GEP & sports talent! This is incredible. Read in DSA thread that GEP girls seems to have higher chance getting into RGS & NYGH. Your girl should have no prob esp she has extra talent! Think they'll grab her.

That's fantastic. Your dd sounds very talented. During your DSA application through GEP domain, you can highlight her sports achievements. That'll stand you in even stronger stead for a confirmed offer.

Hi Leeven,

Congrats, Leeven!



Hmmm… my dd didn’t hear anything about the results when I asked her. Obviously she didn’t make it, but there is at least one boy from her class who would. He already made it to the list last year in P4! That boy was super good at Math! However, there was no announcement from the teachers. Would the school have the results?

:congrats: Leeven!!!!


My Ds didn't get in as well. Only 1 of his classmate manage to do so. He was in the second round when he was in P4 too.

Anyway, did not expect him to go this far as well. He's now preparing for ACI math.
