TREX8:
the time for dsa is getting nearer and nearer ... aiyo gancheong gancheongHi, anyone's DD going for DSA in RGS through GEP domain or know anything about it?
I just want to confirm that application period for RGS DSA is from 25 April to 8 Jul 2011 and GEP students are encouraged to submit their application by 26 May 2011. This is as stated in the website http://www.raffles.sg/schedule.html?
There is this girl in DD's school who goes around saying that application for RGS DSA has started on 26 Mar and hinting that she has \"insider\" info. This is making some of the kids in DD's class anxious as they do not want to miss the application date.

Tks, jtoh. I have the same feeling too as I have checked and re-checked the website but since DSA is an impt thing, I thought better to seek confirmation from other sources. This is the same girl who told DD she already has a place in NUSH...
Follow the dates stated on the RGS website. Anyway it doesn't matter if you submit on the first day or the last day, they'll still look at all applications. The girl in your dd's class is probably just trying to make the others worried.TREX8:

Told DD to be discerning about the information and even if the child is confident of getting DSA into whichever school, until he/she gets a confirmed offer in black and white, nothing is really confirmed.
However, I can also understand DD's anxiety. Imagine if you keep hearing your classmates getting offers from these top schools and you are left out in the cold, it is definitely not good for her self-confidence and that is when self-doubt will creep in...jtoh:

Isn't it just the one student who's claiming that applications are open and that she got offered from NUSH? Tell your dd that she just wants to make everyone else gancheong. Also it doesn't matter what's happening with other people because the schools will look at your application even if you apply on the very last day. It's your merit and ability that they're looking at, not whether you apply first or if you can boast louder.Told DD to be discerning about the information and even if the child is confident of getting DSA into whichever school, until he/she gets a confirmed offer in black and white, nothing is really confirmed.
