DSA 2017

Agree. If no clear factors against having a chance, give your child a try but counsel to get child to understand possible consequences. It’s the process of learning to try & give off their best. No effort, no gain. But the gain cld be just an exercise of doing up their profile or practicing for a good conversation at interviews. Results may not be immediate.

Hi all, may I know which school should my girl apply for DSA? She has been an athlete (short distance), top 5 at national level for past 3 years and academic results above 80% consistently. Thank all.

Did she get any invitations to apply from schools during nationals? Schools like Cedar, NYGH and St Nick's have scouts at these events. Anyway these are some of the achools stronger in track

I noticed that though the IP is 6 yrs, the commitment is only 4yrs. Is it because IB wing has different CCA?
