DSA 2012

[Funx3]

HyperKiasu:

DSA r nearly dominated by GEPpers.
oh ya, for the top 20 MO performers, perhaps also dominated by GEPpers...
so those DSAed into RI via Math Domain are really exceptional talents....

anyway, the other half of 450 vacancies are opened for PSLE-d.....fair...hahah....

As per Advised by Many Veteran DSA PArents,
For Main stream Kids wanting to Try DSA via Academics, Unless the Kids R
\"students with Exceptional talents beyond peers\",
It is More Advisable to Focus to Do well in PSLE, and Apply thru S1 Postings

HyperKiasu:

what are these tests? DSA selection tests for those applicants?

half of the 450 intake are DSAed, among these DSAed, how many are geppers? any idea?

previously i tot top MO performers (20 out of 1000+, i.e. 2%) will be someone sought for by top sch....now seems

yes those are DSA 'selection' test in addition to the interview for HCI. in my opinion, this is differentiated from the 'domain' selection test by RI in ma, sc, el, and cl

both RI & HCI takes in via DSA half the cohort

not sure how many under DSA to HCI are GEPpers, but you have an idea as the whole iSpark is about 80+ to 90, including those who come in via S1

as for RI, approx 160~170 of the 225 are GEPpers, may be around 30 - 40 are sports DSA, and the balance are mainstream students with 'exceptional talents beyond peers'...

Hi veryiasu2010
So do you know the breakdown for the 30 - 40 sport ECA? I am particularly interested to know how many got through table tennis, and if anyone got through via music? Thanks!!!

Just to check. If dd successfully got a CO from xx school but when her result came out to be better than expected, can she give up the offer and proceed with the mainstream posting to another school instead?

if you have accepted the CO and exercised the option, then cannot change liao, 2011 lots of parents got caught trying to change but couldn't. MOE decided to enforce its long standing rule of no changes after accepting a CO

When you say 'give up the offer', do you mean (a)not exercise the option to accept CO or (b) accept the offer ie exercise option then join S1? Exercising the option is after taking PSLE but before PSLE results are out. So you may reject the CO and after PSLE results are out assuming no taking up any other WL, your kid can join the S1 exercise. For scenario (b), once you accept a CO, your kid's name is taken out of S1 exercise ie not allowed to join S1, and like what vks2010 already said, from 2011 PSLE, transfers are also not allowed after exercising of CO.
