DD DSAed into RGS through Maths domain...
And yes, she is required to join Math Soc.
She is also required to participate in Math competitions.
DD does not see the requirements as a chore.
Instead, we thought she was very blessed indeed to be guaranteed a place in Math Soc, one of the CCAs she was interested in.

For RGS and NYGH, what does one need for DSA through maths domain? Need RIPMWC Distinction or SMOPS Platinum? Is there any selection test by the school? Thx.

For RGS, if your DD clears GAT, she will have to sit for the Math Selection Test.

It would be great if your DD has significant achievements in MO, but not absolutely necessary.
What's more important is how she performs in the RGS Math Selection Test.

No idea how NYGH carries out the DSA.
DD only tried out for RGS.[/quote] :thankyou:

Swimming is very popular for DSA. The Nationals medallists very often get DSA COs. Aside from the schools mentioned above, SNGS and NYGH also accept swimming DSA.
