      Anyone can share? Swimming can DSA not?


      Can. For girls, you have schools like MGS, PLMGS, RGS,
      For boys, you have schools like RI, ACS, just to name a few.

      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.

          GEP students need to go for the Free Response Task and Interview. Details on DSA here: http://www.hci.edu.sg/admissions/high_school/admission-routes#gep

              Need a little advise here. Anyone tried DSA via uniformed groups? Is it advisable since child will need to commit 4 years of CCA involvement? Btw, I am not talking about DSA to top schools, but one near to my home. Reason being I am not sure will DS meet the cut off point (224 & up) for the sch as his results fluctuates.

                    Can someone help facilitate what is the free response task? Any word limit and how long is the timing? in English only? Any example of topics of past years?

                      Does getting a platinum in SMOPS gaurantee a CO in HCI? Let's say if a child gets platinum in SMOPS but overall school result only average, let's say 75-79% for GEP student. What is the chance of getting a CO?

                      Think so... guess smops helps many vendors make good revenue in recent years. Heard it is quite expensive (a training package can cuase >$2K!!! ). What if those who can't afford the training? They only has PSLE no chance for DSA to HCI .... :sad:

                        not all who goes for smops training will get platinum, it is a matter of aptitude

                        not having smops does not been no chance with hci dsa - good results in all 4 subjects will get in too - no cca result to show even ....
