Once again, HCI open house clash with RI this year, 19th May 2012.


here's the link on the DSA

http://www.hci.edu.sg/admissions/high_school/admission-routes#dsa

DSA application starts on 19th May & ends on 2nd Jun 2012.

I thought personal statement is required for HCI DSA, but it's not mentioned in the website. Is the kid suppose to type the personal statement when they register online?

HCI and RI DSA does not require personal statement

probably only RGS needs it

Thank you, vk2010!!! Maybe it's ACSI, I remember wrongly.

you mean statement like
\"we are the BEST. Nothing but the BEST\"??
Haha, that's what my RR friends like to quote jokingly.

Since it'a a personal statement, maybe should change to \"I am the BEST. Nothing but the BEST\" :evil:

Thanks Joth.

Just wonder has any GEPpers failed the GAT test? Kids tend to be nervous when they are under pressure.

Yes there are. Few and far between though.

Thanks jtoh.

lol:

If we go to HCI in the morning for open house and then go to RI in the afternoon for open house :boogie: , will we miss anything important which will go on at RI in the morning?

in either open house, you should not miss the talk by the admin / principal, other activities can miss

from past experience, there are specific time slot for the talk, always packed .... you are hereby given advance notice ....

I was there early to get the slot cos it's first come first serve basis. But I don't see such info on both RI & HCI website. I also plan to go HCI first follow by RI. Been to RI last year for Science Olympaid which coincide with open house. But did not manage to attend the talk.

IP is a 6 year prog with no O level.
The application date for DSA differs among the schools. You'll need to go to their website to check on the application date.
There's no cut off point for DSA. The kids need to go through various tests, interview and/or camps depending on each school. Once they pass thru these & are being given a confirm offer by the DSAed school, they just need to accept the school after PSLE. They'll then need to get T-score of 200 in order to get in to the school.
