Section A: Direct School Admission - Page 2
9. Will a sports coach be an influence in the DSA process?
All coaches have to declare if their students (private or otherwise) are participating in the HCI DSA Exercise. All assessments will be considered fairly and objectively during our sports trials.
10. Can HCI reschedule my son’s interview in the event of a clash with another school’s DSA interview/trials?
Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate such requests.
11. If my son is unable to attend his DSA interview for genuine medical or official reasons, will HCI be able to reschedule his interview?
For students who are medically certified to be unwell on 26 July 2025, rescheduling the in-person selection may be arranged where possible.
12. How many places does HCI offer for students admitted via DSA?
MOE manages the admission details. On average, IP schools admit 30% of their Sec One cohort via DSA. There are no exact percentages for admission via each DSA category. This will depend on the range of talents who apply to each category.
