That’s a wise decision bec it’s pointless to go to a premier school that’s beyond your ability only to struggle and be bottom of the cohort. That would be bad for the child’s confidence and self-esteem.

Will those students get into the top elite schs via cca or affiliation ,struggle and be bottom of the cohort :scratchhead: -

OT a bit.another possible reason is ... RI is a top boys school.
so to match RI boys calibre - RGS also need to take in top girls, not so much as take in affliated girls. Because come yr 5 & 6 A level, they study together.
During our time, most of the top students from RI and RGS went to HCJC, not to mention the SAP school students.
Then RJC was a distant 3rd behind HCJC and NJC. -

it depends on individuals .... some are late bloomers and thanks to affiliation, caught up with their peersjtoh:

specifically for NYGH there is not much diff because the affiliation gets in at 250 -

Not all sports DSA students are academically weak. There are those who do alright in the top schools. There are of course others who don't do as well.jtoh:

Hi All,
My DS got a DSA CO from VS and I am wondering if he should take up the offer. He wants to go to RI and thinks he will do well enough on get in based on results. I am, however, not very confident
and think he may miss by a few points from RI's COP. Appreciate any advise I can get on what I should do. Thanks! -

VS is a good school. Distance to RI is quite far ? Depends where you stay too, and has he been consistent in his result to warrant the confidence ?Hi All,

I guess you are worried about misplaced confidence and ended up neither here nor there -
Simply Kiasu:
But is he confident in getting to VS with his psle results?...If no problem, maybe can consider going through S1 posting instead and putting RI first choice and VJ second choice?...of course ..u got to take the risk la.. :xedfingers: ....Hi All,

Simply Kiasu:
If he and you both think he might be able to get into RI based on his PSLE results he would probably be able to get into VS based on his PSLE results even if he doesn't make it to RI. Given that schools *may* be clamping down on DSA transfer cases this year, which means you won't be able to get a transfer to RI if you were to accept the VS CO, you might want to give the VS CO a miss and go for RI during the S1 Centralised Posting.Hi All,
