      Buddhist:
      Assuming one has CO from both HCI and RI, which would be the choice?


      Not sure about past years, but for 2017 DSA, HCI has imposed a very high standard for Maths & Science domains. Must be gold or platinum winners at Olympiads in order to be even shortlisted for HDP. Thus, there will have many top-calibre Maths/Science students to spur their schoolmates. Additionally, HCI has traditionally been known to strongly promote Chinese culture, language and values, which (in the current China era) is a big plus point. So I guess (just a guess) HCI has an edge over RI in terms of DSA acceptance.
      Hmmm me thinks RI still enjoys an edge in terms of reputation and prestige among many parents and is the preferred choice especially for most top non-Chinese kids and their parents.

                  I was (logically) referring to Chinese-speaking applicants. Agree with you on non-Chinese-speaking DSAers, but they also have an equally strong (if not stronger) choice in the form of ACS. Again, just a view.
