Parent of two who've been through this. DSA is genuinely worth it IF your child has a real, demonstrable strength they enjoy, a sport at national age-group level, a strong instrument, a coding or robotics track record. It's a poor fit if you're manufacturing a talent last minute just to game entry, kids can tell they're being used and it backfires at interview. My elder got in via badminton, which she loved anyway, so it wasn't extra stress, it was her hobby with a bonus. My younger had no standout, so we skipped DSA entirely, focused on PSLE, and he got a great school on merit with zero portfolio drama. Don't let kiasu parents make you invent a passion. If the strength is already there, pursue it. If not, PSLE is a perfectly honourable path.
