DSA 2011

I agree with Vlim. There is no harm applying for another one or two. If all 3 COs, you can choose one. If you apply for one and no CO or WL, you cannot turn back to clock to apply for other schools.

Hi lovemMama,

Personally I feel tt it is very risky to apply DSA to one school only ESP the one is RI :roll: .... Baseline is > 80% and if he doesn't have Gd maths Olympiads or Sci olympiads, having Gd leadership record Luke headprefect role might help or some other outstanding ability .....
However the final decisions still fall on the DSA school hand .... So please think abt it carefully .. And I would say it would be best to try 2 schools at least..... Otherwise it would be a nightmare even if you can get a waitlist ...

Thanks for your suggestions...

I understand that is safer to apply 2 schools but I worry if other school
offerred my DS whereas RI put my DS on WL, then I will have to scratch my head harder to decide which one to take...this will also give me nightmare...Really appreciate your help. :thankyou:

No problem lovemama... Anyway this is just my opinion, if you have decided to let your Ds try for RI DSA only then go for it... And maybe u can use this reason to motivate your Ds to work hard so tt with Gd psle score he can go to RI even thru S1 moe posting ... Having say tt, wish your Ds can a CO from RI next yr :rahrah:

ACS group of schools? S$30k/place But I've got nothing to verify. haha. Just hearsay from students and ex-students. How much truth there is, I don't know.

There are also International schools like HC(international), ACS(International), SJI(International) that are all privately run, which they can apply to.

Afterall, the school is like a business enterprise - school need money, student need place...? I'm quite sure the International Schools accept though, bc I have friends who are private bankers helping their clients do placements for their children in these \"local\" international schools. ;D
