      [quote=\"gcmah123\"]HI, Can anyone advise on the percentage of mainstream student getting a chance in NUSH via DSA??


      :thank you:

      Majority of DD classmates at NUSH year 1 not from GEP (I think safe to say 90%) , so I would say, mainstreamers have an equally fair chance at NUSH DSA as GEPers, as ALL need to sit for entrance test, regardless whether GEPer or not.

      Alot of the GEP will be targetting RI/HCI/NYGH/RGS/ACSI so that leave not many for NUSH...[/quote]It is true that most GEPers given CO eventually selected other choices like RGS/NYGH etc. Based on my DD batch (2011 intake), most of her classmates opt out for RGS /NYGH eventually. Some even appeal to transfer out on registration day in 2011. That's why the NUSH DSA yearly intake yearly hardly hit the 153 quota (only 17 for PSLE intake). It is fair to state that GEPers make up 10% - 15% of NUSH intake yearly. The 2011 total intake is only 140. Many of those missing no are from the GEPers group. But NUSH is fair as the GEPers/Mainstream are assessed on equal terms.

        I agree that NUSH is fair in DSA case. Why can't RI, HCI, RGS, NYGH do the same? Survival of the fittest!

          Anyone knows if we need to register for the talks in RI & HCI? If so, register on the spot or via website? Can we choose the time slot? TIA.

                  No need to register, just be there, check the timing and proceed to auditorium.
