      Friend's kid in Cat High yr 4 and entered through Humanities dsa, so it's not true that the school didn't have this dsa category then....
      As I mentioned, the child was applying for DSA Music for MEP back then. Based on what was shared to me, Humanities wasn't on the DSA list back then but DSA Humanities was what the VP offered him. I suppose he can be considered the first batch that the school took in via DSA Humanities. If you look at the school's website, they do have DSA Humanities now, And as to whether the school did already have DSA Humanities on their official list back then, I can't be 100% sure since I don't work in that school and not an avid follower of Cat High's website or DSA domain offerings.. But I'm sharing this example because previously someone asked if it was possible for a candidate to apply for 1 domain and end up getting an offer for another domain. Perhaps if u want to verify when or how long Cat High has had Humanities on their DSA list, best is to ask the school directly.

        Hi,

        My DS just won a gold medal at the NSG in a sporting event and he just received an invitation from RI for DSA via his school. His AL score in P5 was 15. Do any of you think his profile has a low chance of meeting RIโ€™s requirements for DSA? We are unsure if we should use one of his school choices on this if it might be a total waste. Thanks!

          Congratulations! I think DSA applications' success rate depends on the quality and volume of applicants, and you'll never know unless you try.

            Any parent know of high AL score during P5/6 and accepted into RI/RGS/HCI/NYGH via DSA? Care to share what was that AL score too. So parent here has additional info to make informed decision whether to try DSA into these schools.

              in fact, during the recent RI open house, a year 1 student went on stage to share his unique DSA experience.


              He DSA-ed for Track (hurdles I think)
              went for trails
              was advised to try for Javelin
              went back for Javelin trials the next day

              Got his CO

              Got Javelin Gold for the recent NSG.

                    Thank you for the reply! Maybe my question wasn't clear enough. bbbday has made it clearer though. Hope to hear from other parents who can share their experience.

                      Thanks for sharing! Has he by any chance shared or hinted his AL profile or whether he did well academically?

                        In a dilemma here Whether to use two choices for one school or to spread out the choices. DC has two schools heโ€™s interested in and undecided about the third choice. Both schools he likes are not that realistic choices but he wants to try anyway. Should we spread out the choices or just try for the two schools he likes?
