My DS went for VS arts interview on 19 Jul (audition/test was the week before), it was a group interview with 5 other music students (according to him). Now that I looked at the VS domains, there is no Music domain so the 5 of them are either from band, chinese orchestra or choir.

DS also received notice from NJC on 20 Jul for arts interview on 1 Aug.

If you still have not heard from these 2 schools, best to call them to check. This waiting game can be agonizing.

btw anyone has any idea if shortlisted for interview, can I safely say at list got Wait List Offer?

Last year, a friend's DS went for HCI interview but didn't make it successfully. We all wondered why because he's a brilliant kid with strong portfolio and was a head prefect in his school.

Maybe he's not a collaborative team player or maybe he \"snatches\" to answer all the questions when in group interview or maybe he has no sense of humour...........

congrats.

can share under what domain and if you kids has extra portfolio for the domain? and academic result is very outstanding ?
thanks

hi xn_mummy,

We applied under sports. No extra portfolio... I think for RV - they lay the prerequisite clearly ie. at least 75% overall for P5 SA2 & P6 SA1 and Chinese must be A (ie. 75% as well).

Thanks to all the congratulatory notes.

And congrats to fellow parents who receive the CO. Guess we may see each other at the tea session.

I am indeed glad and appreciative that RVHS has shortened the entire DSA process this time:

Mid June - submitted email application
4 July - sms received, shortlisted for sports trial
7 July - Sports trial
20 July - sms received, shortlisted for interview
24 July - Interview
26 July - sms received: DSA successful

The above timeline maybe a helpful guide for P5 parents applying for RVHS next year.
With this, we can close the chapter for now and focus on the upcoming prelims.
