It's misleading to only look at one top score from each school.

NYPS has 45 kids with PSLE of 270 and above, 232 kids with PSLE above 250 and the mean aggregate PSLE score of the entire cohort of 490 kids is 239. These numbers exclude HCL extra points.

Having had a child who went through DSA last year and subsequently transferred, perhaps I am qualified to give some advice here


Choosing the school is really an important issue and it must be a school that your child is willing to go to and not one that you have decided for him or her. So please discuss this at length/with depth with your child.

If you have one or 2 confirmed offers, no problem go ahead and exercise the option.
If you have been waitlisted at your preferred choice, I feel it is still better to put that waitlist option as the first choice because that's where you really want to be, and chances will be good to get in.

You may have some gut feel about how you child performs during the PSLE itself so that can in some way help you decide.

After the PSLE result comes out, if the result is better that you expected but having been posted via DSA , you can still make an appeal and change schools. We did that and yes it is a hassle. First from the school that you are transferring out, you get remarks passed (why did you choose us in the first place... Many people would want to be here.....)
It would involved several trips to both schools to get documents processed, submitted etc. But it is possible just a bit troublesome. But for the sake of what we think is in the best interest of the child, it was worth it. And more importantly, for my child to get to his school that he really wants to be, based on his results.

thanks for sharing the experience on transfering even after taking up dsa offer.

may i ask what is the sequence of steps? after accepting dsa offer but the psle results were above the COP for another IP school, what to do next? do we need to contact the IP school first if they allow the transfer and then contact the DSA school to be released?

Thanks in advance for reply.
