DSA 2011
-
Hi, my friend is very troubled and panicky as she wanted to dsa to rgs and nygh by general, she had a cert distinction for IvP and also some certificate for chinese storytelling competition. According to her, she went to fill up the rgs online application form and found tat there is no DSA GENERAL. I heard from some other kiasuparents ppl and they said that we can considerate to choose under the science domain but she got 66.5 for science. Which is obviously not really good. And rest of her subj is like 78, 82, 85. No A* :(. We went to nygh open hse and they told us tt she stand quite a high chance becuz she s a prefect in sch and has lots of certs like tat. But she seemed more interested in RGS... any advice on which domain shud she opt under or as long as she performs well for the GAT, she stands a high chance? Pls give some comments....

Hi. DSA application for RGS is for specific academic domains only. There is no general academic domain. If you have no special talent in a particular subject but are good overall, then you're better off waiting for your PSLE results and applying for RGS then.
It's not true that if she clears GAT that she stands a high chance at DSA. Those who clear GAT will have to sit for a test in the academic domain they indicated. If your friend isn't strong in that academic domain and has no certs etc to back it up she will not be called up for the interview. -

If Can Get CO from Both ....Funx3,
i believe your daughter has very high chance potential to get into either RGSS or NYGH, via DSA. :dancing: :laugh:
if both these two excellent schools accept your girl via DSA, which one will she most likely choose ? RGSS got Rhythmic gym cum ballet, NYGH doesn't have... NYGH more on Chinese cultural dance. :imcool:
It's A HAPPY Problem, Right? *Dreaming .... Dreaming ....*
At the Moment, where the 2 Horsey-Race is Concerned ....
RGS is Leading ....
Reason Being :
My Gal Now Very-Very interested in joining their Shooting CCA, in her words, \"Shooting is Awesome, Everyone Should Try it!\"
She Can Continue with Chinese Dance Class on Weekends and Sch RGym Training, So No Need to Drop Either (She Told me When she's Doing Chinese Dance, She Think of Gym .... When She's Doing Gym, She Thinks of Chinese Dance .... :roll: :roll: )
RGS Got Air-Con ClassRm!
She Really Go Round to Peep into the ClassRms during Open House to Both Sch .... :roll: :roll:
But the Race Situation May Change, What with Majority of Her Best Frens Aspiring to go to NYGH, and Almost None Aiming for RGS ....
But It Still Depends on How she's Being Assessed by the Sch, and if she could be deemed acceptable ....
-
My Pal went to Open House at St Nic and these R what she Told Me (info Gathered During the Talk) ....
7 Class with COP ~250,
37 place for DSA,
BaL 70 to 80 for Affiliation Min COP 211
She Like the New Sch Premises, Everything Very Spacious, New and Clean ....
And 2012 Batch is Still Doing O-Level ....
And One More Info ....
A Gal Fail to DSA into the Sch a couple of years ago coz PSLE 197 only (despite having CO) .... -
FunX3, how wonderful to be in your dd's position.

Good tip for students trying out DSA (the interview part). Whether or not Chinese schools, it is a good mannerism which students observe to Ju-Gong as a form of respect to the panel of judge (s).
Chinese school students always \"ju gong\". My elder son used to say that the most distinguishing factor was that he \"bowed\" as he greeted. So for DSA interview he went he bowed too.

More Info Gathered …
My Gal’s Dance Mate Mum told Me Her Fren’s dd DSA Sports into RGS some years back with PSLE 200 … -
And Some More Tips from other Mums for DSA Sports ....
Their Fren's dd DSA-Sports thru JUDO into sch that has the Domain some years back ....
Comments : Very Easy, Coz ....
Judo is Not in Pri Sch Sports ....
(As Long as the Kids R Trained in Judo and Got Grades in it ....)
So their Conclusion :
Niche Sports, CCA is easier to DSA into ....

Hi, some information we gather duirng the visit to NYGH:
For CCA in Chinese Dance, they require two days practice per week (on Tuesday and Friday, hopefully not remember wrongly) from 3- 6pm. If there is competition there they will increase the days of training.
Recess is one hour. -
