DSA 2011

[Augmum]

verykiasu2010:

for the purpose of getting a CO prior to sitting for the PSLE, application for the DSA school should only be confined to those schools that the kids have genuine intention of getting in but just in case PSLE score not good enough eventually.


If the kid is confident to get in the school (non-dream school, but still good school) via the PSLE t-score, no need to sweat via DSA -- hence this is nothing being brave by not applying. If the kid want to be sure to get in his / her dream school, then DSA is an additional chance and not to leave it to the 4 days in October.

absolutely agree....vks2010....and that's my point...... :hi5:
we had perhaps a self-confessed parent who posted the following in DHS thread.

nymom:

That is because for GEP apply to DHS, firstly, it do not need to go for interview and gat test secondly,it's free of charge.
So lots of the Gep kids treat it as backup.
But eventualy, only a small amount less than 5% will go there.

Auditions around June, latest July? For JC DSA, it's mostly under CCA, lah. Anyway, it's nothing unusual to be called up for auditions with only a day's notice with many schools. They expect that since you have applied for DSa, you should be well-prepared for audition around that time period.

some are not for transfer. For many JCs - RI, HCI, VJC, NJC, and many others (except DHS & RVHS, I think?), - all take in DSA for JC1.
