DSA 2011

[yukilei]

I gathered that if a GEP student were to score at least 80% for 4 subj, the chances of getting a school thru DSA is very much "confirm". How about those that fall between 75% to 79%? Their chance?? What option should they choose in order to secure a sch thru DSA with higher chance???

No, even if a GEP student scores more than 80% it doesn't guarantee him a DSA in the school of his choice, particularly the top schools. He still has to clear the interview. If he doesn't perform well at the interview, then he'll likely be placed on the waitlist.

Similarly, those scoring between 75-79% stand an equal chance of being offered DSA if they do alright in GAT and the interview.

To answer your question, of the schools offering SBGE, some are more popular than others eg. RI and HCI, and harder to get into. So if you try DSA at the less popular schools, your chances of getting offered a CO there will be higher.

Has anyone been called for interviews or tests yet at HCI or RI?

Thanks everyone for the advice. I think I shall give it a try and see the outcome since my DS is interested in DHS.

Problem with RI is they have so many dates for GAT so posing a bit of problem.

Can’t even be sure when to take leave to bring the kid there.
At least NUSH only set one date.

Guess it's because there are so many people applying. They say the earlier you submit your form, the earlier you'll be assigned your GAT date.

if not mistaken they normally have more than a thousand applicants
