In general, schools can admit applicants of their choice, provided the process is meritocratic and transparent. In RI, our selection process for DSA-Sec admissions comprises a holistic assessment of the applicant's primary school results, their achievements in a talent area, along with their performance in the DSA selection tests, trials, auditions, and/or interviews. Applicants must also obtain PSLE scores that qualify for the Posting Group 3 in order to be successfully admitted to RI after accepting our DSA Confirmed Offer (CO).
