DSA 2011

ngbrdad:
Never bluff lah, juz that they never say girl girl way above 80% and boy much less % :evil: :evil: overall 80% still correct
Then they bluff children one leh.
One of the selling point to attract people into accepting the GEP offer was more than 80% will get secondary school of their choice thru DSA.
Anyway the GEP kids who didn't get any DSA offer or get into IP school after PSLE are usually boy boy right

That's for the entire cohort, including mainstream. I think GEP alone the success rate is very high. Maybe the NYPS parents can confirm?
NYPS averages around 33% of the cohort, incl mainstream, success in DSAfirefly38:
jtoh, why only RGPS & NYPS will likely to bring average up? based on past years' statistics? Or else not fair to other GEP schools, as parents deciding on which GEP schools to choose for their kids (if they qualify for GEP), after reading your post, will have a wrong impression that only RGPS & NYPS have
high success rate in DSA. -

number of DSA success in 2010 : 155 out of 472 entire cohort, and a few GEP kids did not apply DSA at all -

Actually when MOE gives the 80% figure, they don't say which school the successful DSAs are for. Most kids and parents want to go to RI/HCI/NUSH etc, but of these 80% CO/WLs, some could be for the 2nd tier schools which the kids don't want to go to anyway but tried out for DSA just in case.

The DSA positions available in top IPs are more than sufficient to cater for all GEP kids. However, because a lot of kids tried a few IPs and get multiple COs/WLs, thus the said <20% are left with no COs/WLs

My point is that the stats may show 80% success rate for DSA but it doesn't mean 80% success rate at the top schools. Success rate at your top tier schools may only be 50%, with the remaining 30% getting COs from 2nd tier schools they have no intention of going to. For these kids, it's as good as not getting a CO/WL, but statistically, they're counted as successful.

Definitely. I have no GEP kid, juz thinking from angle of the <20% GEP kids.

There are more boys than girls at NYPS but this is probably the case at the other GEP centres too?
Most GEP girls will get CO/WL.
So being the only all girls school here, it's natural for RGPS to have higher rate.
NYPS being the premier GEP school also should have higher rate lah.
Btw do they have a higher girl : boy ratio compared to other GEP schools ?
