DSA 2017

Anyone hear from DHS for next round interview for STEM besides Robotics?

[S_Mummy]

Ds shortlisted for SST. Received email today.

Anyone else going for SST selection camp on 5 Aug?

We should be receiving this week my guess.

I hope it's latest by this week as well. Seems like the RI DSA process this year is slightly different from last year. From last year's forum, I read the interview is held before the HDP. But it's the reverse for this year. Wondering if there's anyone who skips the HDP and goes direct for interview? :scratchhead:

I guess no. I suppose all were called for HDP. (Reason for my guess) My DS spoke to one GEPper during the HDP.

If you have the time or are curious, you can read up last year's DSA forum. Seems quite different the way it's conducted.

Yes, different as confirmed with their DSA admin.
This year no gat and moe requirement, everyone must go through hdp.
Last year most MS first took gat, then hdp, then interview. Most GEP with good academic results directly went into interview, some not so good got hdp first.

From the previous posts, for RI DSA academic, GEP boys attended interviews only and MS boys attended the HDP only. There have been exceptional cases whereby GEP boys also needed to attend the HDP and MS boys attended only interview. But such cases are likely few and far between.

Just a note to all parents anxiously waiting for DSA results:


Our kids have already come this far…whatever the outcome, let’s be proud of them for their courage, determination and efforts…I know i couldn’t have done this at their age.

And also let’s give ourselves a pat on the back for having raised them to become such outstanding young people!
