DSA 2017

[Nebbermind]

They should model after NJC…1st a math/domain test, then a written piece of work. …finally an interview

Seems like this whole DSA thingy is being shaken up and landscape is changing, for better or for worse, we shall see. Not only no GAT, the school may not fill up the number of vacancies available for DSA (e.g., 50%), and some sports or CCA may even be scrapped from DSA list this year or from next year onwards…

I thought direction is to increase DSA vacancies by 2018?

Although there's no DSA academic, I think it's inevitable that top schools need to look at student's overall results and not just based on one subject, although the name suggests \"Subject domain\".

Thanks for the explaination

Aesthetics include Art, dance, music etc

For STEM: if a student able to demostrate her interests in science like discussion about different kind of forces or able to disassemble a radio and discuss about the function of the parts and put them back (will be good). These are some examples given.
