If you have received a Confirmed Offer (CO) or are on a Wait List (WL), you will submit your preferred choice of school in the MOE DSA-Sec Portal in late October. The DSA-Sec Portal will only list the schools that have given you a CO or WL, and you will have to rank your choices in order of preference.

Example 1

RI has offered you a Confirmed Offer (CO) and School X has offered you a CO

If your choice order is: 1st Choice: School X (CO) 2nd Choice: RI (CO)

Outcome: You WILL be admitted to School X.

Example 2

RI has offered you a Wait List (WL) and School X has offered you a CO.

If your choice order is: 1st Choice: RI (WL) 2nd Choice: School X (CO)

Outcome: MOE will see if any student who is offered a CO by RI rejects the offer. If there are, students on WL will then be considered.

Note that your CO to School X is protected. Should you not be offered the WL to RI, you will still get your CO to School X.

Example 3

RI has offered you a Wait List (WL) and School X has offered you a CO.

If your choice order is: 1st Choice: School X (CO) 2nd Choice: RI (WL)

Outcome: You will get admitted to School X. You will not be considered for the WL to RI (even if places open up) as you have already placed School X (with a CO) as your first choice.

Can we appeal if I am not offered a DSA?

How much flexibility does RI have in admitting applicants?

Will I still be admitted to RI if my DSA application is successful (received a Confirmed Offer), but my PSLE score does not meet RI's PSLE AL cut-off (AL 4-6) under the MOE S1 posting exercise?

Must I still sit for the PSLE if I have already been admitted to RI through the DSA? What impact will my results have?

If I were posted to a school that is not my first choice via the DSA exercise, can I opt to be considered under the S1 Posting Exercise (held just after the release of the PSLE results) or make an appeal to the school of my choice?
