but, if they come in DSA at Y3 :
won't they have a lot to catch up or might even fall behind, since Sec 1 (NUS High) already tackling 3 pure Science subjects & by end of Sec 2, NUSH Accelerated program have covered the subjects equivalent to \"O\" level standard, whereas in other Secondary schools, Sec 1 / Sec 2 are doing General Science ?

in terms of curriculum, between NUS High vs. other Secondary schools, up to end of Sec 2, already a quite a big difference a lot to catch up, isn't it ?

Those who join in year 3 have to take bridging courses in sem 1 to close the gap. Btw, quite a number are ASEAN scholars.

These scholars raise the standard further in the already competitive environment from year 3 onwards. Even the teacher asked the year 2's to brace themselves for increased competition from year 3.

Thanks for reply. I think my son is doubly thrilled now.

[quote=\"ryka\"]Manga32, there is supplementary intake information for NUSH in their website, do check it out.


I also heard success story of a boy who managed to get in post psle by presenting his coding skills.

My DS also received CO... He is looking forward to the tea session

Will representing school in code express competition organised by IDA help in profile?

I doubt it. They will probably want to test the applicant's coding skills on the spot , instead of basing it on past competitions.

BTW, having some coding skill before entering NUSH is a strong advantage to have, because computer science is now compulsory subject at NUSH.

And this subject is the most time consuming. [/quote]can name which programming language likely to test P6 students coding, on the spot ?

may pm me. Thanks, very much.

Each batch, roughly how many ASEAN scholars likely to enter NUS High, via DSA in Y3 ?

These Y3 scholars : majority, come from which ASEAN country ?

[Manga32]

NUS High is likely to open few slots for the Supplementary Intake. They have sent 170 confirmed offers and that is the maximum. However, they do not know whether all 170 students will accept their offer. Most of the times, at least some students accept another’s school’s offer or they change their minds.

[DSJB]

Am I right to say, if Nush open up the supplementary intake, that means all the Waiting List have been converted to CO?

[Manga32]

I am not sure… But they said that they have sent 170 confirmed offers already. Vacancy will be created for the supplementary intake if some students reject their offer.

But at NUSH, so far my son has learnt Python, C++, C# and Java.
