No DSA is easy — But some are especially tough: unpredictable + low success rates.
Most unpredictable: RI & ACS Independent (IB)
Not purely score- or results-based
Strong candidates can miss out; surprises happen
Many non-academic factors affect outcomes
Most competitive (lowest success rate): NUS High
Open DSA (anyone can apply)
~2,000 applicants yearly → <200 offers
Tough Math & Science tests + camp selection
Which is the hardest to DSA into in your opinion — RI, ACS Independent, or NUS High?
