Has of your child been confirmed for RI or HCI after the recent interview?

RI will release the DSA results on Monday.

Anybody know whether RI sent out interview notice for non-GEP students already? Thanks.

should you child fail to register with GEP school, you can train him / her now and ensure good scores in GEP test. If he/she has good marks in GEP test (first round), you still can ‘negotiate’ with GEP schools for school transferring even he/she fails in the test of second round.

Hi Chief

Can u advise which school is better? St Gabriel's or Zhonghua? From its website it seems that Zhonghua's top PSLE students every year but why is it not so popular? :?

I think ZhongHua is better. but how about YangZheng? these 3 schools are all nearby.

There are a few girls from GEP who got into RGS via DSA but with PSLE scores of 240+. This would not have been possible without DSA. On the other hand, there may be others (mainstream) who could not get in 'cause they fell short by only a few points.

Once you get in via DSA, all you need for your PSLE scores is the minimum 200 points. This applies to EVERYONE who made it through DSA, whether you're GEP, mainstream or CCA. In fact, students who made it through CCA are more likely the ones who scored below 250 at their PSLE. They are grouped together in one class at RGS.

The idea behind DSA is so students get a confirmed place before PSLE, meaning their PSLE scores don't matter as much. Otherwise what's the point of having DSA if you have to meet the 263 cut-off? You might as well just wait for your PSLE results.

At the begin I also have the same thought as yuo, but my friend told me this year got some changes. so I check MOE anouncement and it said:

A student who indicates his preference for a school which had given him a Confirmed Offer will be guaranteed a place in the school, provided that he is eligible for a course (e.g. Express) which is offered by the school.

NUSH updated DSA application status in their website. but I’m confused about camp now. the latest infor on the website saying it is on 19 & 26 Jul, not 25 Jul
