is obtaining Gold and above, can secure a place in DSA?

which gold ? can be more specific ?

NMOS gold for p5, got chance for DSA to NUSH (only)

SMOPS gold (p6, generally).....throw one stone can hit so many....no chance for DSA success

also, UNSW distinction is 'nothing', need to be high distinction, but when compared with SMOPS platinum still quite far lar....

and for AMC, high distinction is nothing, it just says you are lousy - did not win a prize (this one my son says one)

[friendship]

don’t know what Gold lah…


simply, blindly,…just ask my son to go for the training and hoping to clinch something along the way.

don’t know whether can join the sister as Raffles family. 2 more years to prepare him.

My ds's friend, P6 GEP this year, NMOS gold, SMOPS platinum, P6 SA1 > 83%, rejected by NUSH DSA. For NUSH, performance for the DSA tests and camp seem to be the deciding factor. Anyway, he got RI CO, HCI not out yet.

NOT saying your ds's friend is like that, just saying it is one of possible reasons why no offer from NUSH

My ds said he would not be surprised if he did something \"funny\" during the camp.

Oh.. I did not know about this competition. Hmm.. why isn't there any Nanyang student in the list?

Haha, I was wondering too. Obviously, NY did not participate.
