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
