Hello 👋🏻 Parents

I like to share we received St Nicks DSA leadership invite last evening.
Seems like invites are sent in different batches and timings.

Hi Melodybun,

Can I ask on your DD's profile? Cos I'm still waiting for mine from SNGS Leadership too.

Thank you.

The number of students admitted through DSA (including WL converted to CO) is around 30% of the DSA applicants.

2019 Sec 1 Cohort: 3,000 out of 9,000 unique applicants (around 33%)
2020 Sec 1 Cohort: 3,600 out of 11,900 unique applicants (around 30%)
2021 Sec 1 Cohort: 3,700 out of 12,100 unique applicants (around 31%)

https://www.moe.gov.sg/news/parliamentary-replies/20220110-direct-school-admission-secondary-exercise

The stats may be skewed quite a bit. Top IPs have a much lower rate (<10%?) of getting CO or converted WL compared to the rest. Of course some top schools also offer O-Level DSA may boost the numbers.

I just call victoria school about art DSA. The lady told me it is still in progress and asked me to wait until end of the month. Seems still have hope:)

Thanks for the effort and info.

Here are some stats I've posted before. I think the IP applications / vacancy is >10x (or < 10%). However, we don't know how many unique applicants there were for the ~1,200 IP slots. The chance of acceptance for IP (CO or WL converted) is likely lower than the overall DSA percentage of ~30% but probably not as low as 10%.

Regardless, the challenge of this is that these are only the unconditional odds (whatever they are). The conditional odds for any one kid could be very different.

Anyways, good luck to those that are still in the running :rahrah:

How did you get the 1,200 IP slots?

It was listed in one of the MOE releases or news articles that in 2020 roughly 1/3 of 3,600 admitted were to IP.

You can also try to count up the IP cohorts x 30% + NUSH should be about 1,200 as well.
