2010 DSA(Direct School Admission)

gleemom:

Several, not all, of my DD's friends who applied under the same sport were invited for interview at NYGH next week. My DD was not called. From what I can gather from this forum, NYGH does not grant interviews for all DSA applicants. Getting an interview may not mean she is successful or not successful, and not getting an interview may mean one is totally in, hence no need for interviews, or totally out, also no need for interview. I can only say that I am glad that the selection process for sports DSA for NYGH has started so the wait should not be too long from now - another week maybe? At least we can finally get an answer.


So far NYGH seems to be starting the DSA process for GEP students first, followed by mainstream academic last week, then by sports DSA this coming week. Also interview or no interview does not seem to mean much, as the experience of ningy shows.

No news so far from DHS too.

Thanks, Gleemom, for sharing. I totally agree with your views. Will update if there's any news. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Thanks mathsparks; and we really :thankyou: that u've generously shared ur DSA experience and gave us wonderful ideas on how to prepare the portfolio - especially mainstreamers like my dd.


Thanks to all KSPs who have shared their experience and tips on how to prepare portfolio plus up-to-date DSA news.

Getting really jittery as we count down to the \"arrival\" of DSA results


Anyone got new updates of good news :roll:

Hi, Does any one know if i have not received call from NYGH or email from RGS until today, it means we dont have to wait any more?


My DD applied for both schools via Academic path. But no news so far...

Would appreciate it if anyone can let me know. thanks.

Yep, DD's GAT on 17/7.


tingtingmum, tea session at 5 pm ; how abt yours ? Wonder how big is the group and is DD supposed to go around and talk people - she's shy (luckily no interview; she was so relieved but upon hearing abt the tea session; she frets again...).

According to website, interview session is still going on; so still got chance.

Hi ningy, thx for yr reply. DD's session is at 5pm too. DD's 2 classmates are also invited for the same session. do not know how big the group is. hope they will enjoy it.

In the previous tea reception, RGPS dominated the group. DD has 11 classmates going this wednesdayand twice as much from other GEP classes. So, I'd say, quite alot...? :?

Looks like a mass migration. I wonder what factors drive them to do so. Any guesses?

KiaSu Friend, well, from what i heard last yr, most GEPers applied more than 2 sch (for girls : RGS, NYGH and NUSH) and it seems like majority finally chose RGS although they got confirmed offers for all 3 sch. That’s why those in waiting list have a very high chance of getting into their prefered sch.
