DSA 2011

verykiasu2010:

with the Bishan MRT and Marymount Circle line stations, RI (and future RGS) isn't that far really...more like quite central, plus the MOELC is within walking distance, it is convenient to those taking 3rd lang

Can they apply to stay in the Boarding School in RI? Save travelling time.

Helping my DS to choose schools for DSA.

So most will apply for around 3 to 4 schools is it ?
For a slightly above average GEP student, how to choose ?
We are thinking about NUSH, RI and another 2 out of HCI, NJC or ACSI.

Apply for 2-3. 4 is too many.

Since you've already identified NUSH and RI as your top two choices, apply for those 2. Of the remaining, just choose one. Of HCI, NJC and ACSI, ask him and yourself honestly, which would your ds be happy to attend if given the DSA CO? Do not take it as a second choice that you will consider appealing out of if your PSLE score is good enough to get into RI (in the event you don't get RI). If you don't think you'll be happy attending HCI, NJC or ACSI, don't apply for their DSA. It'll give you a headache later on.

My ds is really keen on RI as it is where most of his friends are applying too. He quite like NUHS as well and it’s really near and convnient for us.

Just thinking about a 3rd choice and hope to have less stress for him during PSLE.

HCI, NJC and ACSI are very different schools. One’s a SAP school, one’s IB track. Your ds should have an idea of which one appeals to him better. Go for the one that calls to him most.

That's the type of post i like. If prepare to appear out of NJC, HCI or ACSI, might as well don't apply and just stick to RI. Too many parents wasting time and resources going round the system.
