I think the dsa critirial going to be tougher and tougher and more unpredictable each yr... :roll:
I think nowadays the sec sch do not accept based on these Maths Olympiad awards anymore. This MO is more related to academic, and if it is academic, they might as well wait for your overall PSLE score. Afterall, they want someone outstanding in all subjects and not one subject only!jtoh:
Yes, me too. Used to be that SMOPS Platinum would be assured of a place in RI/HCI/NUSH. Then it became an offer by NUSH but rejected by RI. Now not even an offer by NUSH but possibly RI. Guess SMOPS is no longer the golden ticket and you have to get SMOJ. -
Yah judging by HAST results released by NJC, even if you are in the top 5% of the HAST test you will not secure a place if you don’t meet whatever other criteria they are looking for.
By releasing the HAST results they may make some already upset parents even more upset. -

Agreed. It seems that now if the students do not have the specific talent that the schools are looking for, the schools would rather wait to admit them based on T-score.

Hi, wow, over a 1000+ pages of discussion!
Am hoping to get some advices from the experienced parents here.
For those who have used or tried using DSA via SPORTS, may I find out more? How do your kids manage to balance between the trainings and schoolwork? When do you know that your kid could have that potential? I understand that it is not easy getting in via sports for DSA and not the best may get chosen, but is there a sports that would seem to be easier than the rest? -
May I know are there any parents who received calls from HCI asking them to put HCI as first choice yesterday? I was just wondering what’s the reason for calling the parents when they’ve already sent out emails and letters.
