Yes it definitely helps @AHsDad, thanks!
There is only 1 form for submission to MOE, even if your child is applying for different domains/schools
Form includes below inputs
1. The 3 (max) selected domains / schools
2. Non-school based awards / achievements
- period
- awards/activities name
- brief description (most I wrote was 5lines - there is a cap on no of character)
Personally I just maxed out all 10 entries. My girl applied for Visual Art and leadership, 2 unrelated domains within same school. My aim was to exhibit her rounded abilities. Her achievements I included some school-based as well which are not indicated in report book. Sucessful for leadership as Waiting list which was subsequently converted. (Didn’t even get interviewed for Visual Art)
On the flip side, my sister applied DSA sports (floorball and soccer) for my nephew with only 1 entry and got through also.
Hope it helps
I have one more question in this regard, will there be an option to upload personal statement? -

My kid wants to apply under academic areas, Math&Science. Does the form look different based on the talent areas? Essentially i am trying to understand what kind of details go into the form because we might not have much breathing space there. I did get an insight into the form from another person in this forum, but any further details will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
Which specific talent area are you looking at? It could be very different for each talent area.

Hi everyone. Does anyone know if one DSA to ACSI via robotics or chess, does he still need to do UG? Thanks.

My kid just started P6, thanks for this thread!
Can anyone please help me understand this point in the moe website \"Your child’s PSLE score still matters. Students offered placement in a DSA-Sec school still need a PSLE score that qualifies them for the course offered by the school.\"?
What AL score is necessary to qualify in case the kid gets a CO from school of choice? We have not yet decided on which schools to apply for yet, domain will be math and science. He seems keen on NUSH. Any inputs is much appreciated, thanks in advance! -

Think of DSA as the school actually examining the student before PSLE. So if he is accepted for DSA, it means the school has passed him and is willing to take the risk of taking him in. In the past, the minimum score you must attain is for PSLE is for entry into the school at the right level, ie. you must attain a t-score of 200. I'm not sure what you must attain now with AL levels.

For IP stream it would be 20 in order for the CO not to be voided.

I think (not absolutely sure) that the ACSI boys are only exempted from UG if they are in a Sports CCA on a competitive basis (whether DSA in or otherwise).
Hi everyone. Does anyone know if one DSA to ACSI via robotics or chess, does he still need to do UG? Thanks.
All the best to your DS! -

Form submission to MOE portal is standard, as I described. However, depending on each school and domain, might have other requirements to email to the school separately, within a certain date.
Eg. Sports/music to submit videos or art/language to submit past works. Maths/Science nothing extra.
Personal statement is not required unless explicitly stated. Teachers have to manually look through the submissions so its best the “resume” aka MOE form, is clear and succinct.
Below is an example of requirements for RGS for your clearer picture. Other schools may deviate only slightly
