Over 200 Students Secure Offers from Cambridge and Oxford in the 2023 Admissions Cycle
Singapore’s top educational institutions, Raffles Institution (RI) and Hwa Chong Institution (HCI), have once again demonstrated their academic excellence by ranking among the highest in the world for Oxbridge admissions in the 2023 admissions cycle. RI secured first place globally with 85 offers from Oxford and Cambridge, while HCI ranked fifth with 53 offers. 
Notably, the NUS High School of Math and Science achieved an impressive 40% acceptance rate, highlighting its strength in preparing students for the competitive environments of top universities. Anglo-Chinese School Independent (ACSI) also performed well, with 23% of its applicants receiving Oxbridge offers.

These results affirm Singapore’s status as a leading educational hub and reinforce that our top public schools are the best bets for parents aiming for Oxbridge success.

Integrated Programme (IP) schools like RI and HCI generally admit around 35% of their Sec 1 IP intake through DSA. Specialised independent schools like NUS High School of Math and Science do not participate in Sec 1 Posting and generally admit up to 100% of their Sec 1 intake through DSA. As a result, Direct School Admission (DSA) has become an increasingly popular option for students seeking to secure a place in their dream school.
To understand more about DSA and work on an education path customised for your child, make a DSA consultation appointment with our founders.
