DSA 2017

Congrats to receiving CO to SCGS_IP. Is your DD from SCGPS? When I went to the OH I had a feeling the P wasn’t so welcoming to non SCGPS girls due to its small cohort size?

Thank you. Yes, she is currently in SCGS Pri.

Indeed, SCGS Sec has a small cohort. I read from the sec home thread that there are only 4 IP classes (and 4 O-level) with 30 girls per class.

The P is actually quite a nice lady, I seldom drive into the school compound but once, when I drive in, she was there to open my car door for my girl to alight. I was surprised that any P would do this day after day.

Perhas patents of kids, whether they received CO/WL or rejection can share their experience. Has DSA really moved forward and looking beyond academic excellence or is it still very much the same…just narrower focus on a single subject?

Hi, asking on behalf of my friend whose DD is taking PSLE next year. For DSA sports to like RGS and NYGH and etc, do the kids need to win any national competition? She is in track and field.

Those that I know who got into these schools did indeed at least get at least top 4 in the Zones/ Nationals. On the other hand, because some of these are team sports, there are also those in their same Pri Sch team who applied and did not get the offer.

It probably depends on the performance at the trials as well as the interviews (plus academic results for P5/ 6).

The criteria is also listed out in many of these schools. Eg. RGS website states: Applicant must be able to demonstrate strong interest and talent in sports beyond the abilities of students in the same age group and/or have a history of accomplished performance at the national and/or international level in sports.

Hi,

For those who got WL /CO from RGS, have you all received the snail mail letter?

Hi.. we have not received the snail mail letter. The email states to contact the school if we did not receive it by 5 Sept. So one more day to wait.

For WL in RGS, is it almost the same chance of having it converted to CO like NYGH?

[Rainbow sky]

I don’t think we will know how long or how many being WL right? If the list is very long, then chances are very low to be converted.
