Of course. You can apply through specific academic domains like English, Math etc, or for some schools you can apply through general academic. It would be better if you've participated in some competitions and won awards to set you apart from the rest of the applicants. You can check out the websites of different schools to see their requirements for applying for DSA. The other option to consider is DSA through sports/aesthetics. -

Yes of course. First of all you have to check the secondary school which your kid are keen, DSA criteria. Normally they will have to sit for gat, subject test and / or interview ... And successful candidates with be issue CO from the school. However , it is not easy though ... -
Thank you. So am I right that all GEP kids will have a better chance ad compare to the main stream?

Yes, of course ! My DS & a number of his classmates are mainstream & they got CO/WL from top schools via DSA .... So not to worry, as long as your kid is motivated, with support from parents & teachers, I'm sure he/she can do it !

Thank you. I'm worry because my dd did not get into the GEP 2nd round. Feeling very stressful.
You shouldn't think of getting into GEP as the answer to getting a DSA confirmed offer. Reading the posts from this year's GEP P6 parents, you'll see that quite a few GEPpers weren't successful in their DSA applications either. So long as your son puts in the effort and does well, he can get into the school of his choice either through DSA or even better, through his PSLE results.
