This was our first DSA journey. It has been a long one - it was partly fun, but also hard work, and definitely very distracting for the kid from proper studying! Happy that it’s over after a lot of research, prep and anxiety.


My DD received 3 COs, from SOTA, SCGS (PA) and SNGS (Sports).

If any parent applying for DSA in the future would like advice, or would like me to share our experience, I’d be happy to do so in a private message. For now, I’ll leave you with the message that interview prep is extremely important!

I can finally stop checking emails and KSparents for updates! All the best to everyone for the PSLE!

Do you mean email? Or a hard copy letter?

Hi, my DD also got into theatre.
During the VP's talk at the TA, she mentioned that the qualifying score was AL22.

Which domain? Hope it's good news for u

I think all domains are out - they released on the same date as last year. For us, it's Artistic Gym and Athletics (friend).

Hi all,
Just wonder anyone received any rejection email from SCGS or any updates from them?

Last year, SCGS was quite late. Think their target is 4 Sep this year cos if you call the school, they will keep repeating that you “will receive an email from us by 4 September”.
Then again, they have been mostly behind the timelines posted on their website this year, maybe they weren’t expecting this many applicants.

Why r they leaving RGS since they already worked so hard to get accepted to top gals school n JC?

Cos it’s less stressful and less competitive overseas? If parents can afford an overseas education, these girls who are already brilliant get even more opportunities to shine. They also get to graduate a year earlier in some cases, and still get into the top universities.

Once a CO is issued, it will stand until you reject it.

So, if school A is her first choice, she should put it as no. 1 even if it's a WL offer.
If the WL doesn't convert, the CO for school B is still hers.

Hi there,

I m new to all this as it’s my first time experiencing the DSA. Just want to check when submitting the choices, do we get to submit more than one school? For example, if she gets a WL for school A but CO for school B but we would still like to try her for school A. If she is not accepted into school A, can she still enter school B since it’s a CO? Would the CO still stand or she would missed the chance?

SCGS, SNGS, NYGH sounds like artistic gym domain. Have friends waiting for these 3 too. If it's really this domain, SNGS has given some verbal offers.

Congratulations to your girl on CO from MGS.
Which are the other two IP schools? Other than RGS, are there any other IP girl schools that have released results? My close friend is waiting anxiously from SCGS, SNGS and NYGH. but so far , haven't heard from them.
