      Kid was at the NSG these few days and she said that NJC gave out DSA offers via letters to some students? That's fast? I thought applications start next week.
      It's not an offer letter, could be some form of invitation letter to the kids to consider applying to NJC.

      But formal selection like trials and interviews will still take place.

        Sorry but I highly doubt this. The furthest a school would go is to invite the student to trial at this point. Offering CO before the DSA application starts is unheard of

          Hi
          I understand that we can select 3 schools for DSA.
          Will it be possible to receive acceptance letters from all 3 schools?
          Y can apply to 3 schools and it's possible to receive 3 COs but you can ultimately choose only 1 school.

            Rare but got la.

            As of today, I know at least two p6 kids with a confirmed place each - when the dsa application for the rest of us starts next Tuesday.


            It’s just like that.

              They would still have to apply through the official portal, even if their application will be immediately processed into a CO.

                What if received 3 COs on different date, would the acceptance dateline the same?

                  MOE portal deadline is all the same. Unless u talking about specialized schools like SOTA or Sports School.

                    Yes (for MOE schools) but you will be given ample timing to make your choice.

                    Fyi We received 3 COs last year. All diff timing. We had sufficient time to discuss and make our choice. So no issues there.

                      Hi , my girl also got this letter too but it was not a confirmed offer letter. It was just an invitation to attend their open house and apply DSA to their school. Still need to go thru trial n interview.

                        Hi, we’re PR and unfamiliar with Singapore education system. We would appreciate some guidance here. My son is currently in P5, his academic performance is at an average level.


                        1) He has start tennis and saxophone recently, but no competition record, will it still possible for him to get DSA at St Andrew? Normally what is the qualification for successful candidate?

                        2) We reside in the Sengkang/Hougang area, and after considering St. Andrew’s School, we would appreciate recommendations for other good schools in the vicinity. (not IP as they are too competitive)

                        3) If my son is accepted through the DSA process, will his placement in Posting Group 1, 2, or 3 be based on his PSLE score? Additionally, will the required score for this admission be lower compared to the typical S1 admission criteria?

                        4) If he cannot get DSA and needs to rely on his PSLE score, and if his score falls into Posting Group 2 at a higher-ranked school or Posting Group 3 at a lower-ranked school, which one should we consider?

                        Apologies if my questions do not make sense. I truly appreciate your guidance. Thank you!!
