I have not receive any email yet. But not pinning any hope...sweat sweat... Too many pro- shooters & my DD fit in their criteria \"no prior experience is required\".....haiz....

Don't worry, they are probably in the midst of sending out the emails. Your dd also applied to other schools on other domains right? All the best!! :rahrah:

:thankyou:

Person in charge
said if P6 students DSA by Sports category : after student attend interview (for short-listed candidates only), just wait for final outcome.
She didn't say by when will receive outcome. She said \"Wait for outcome, after attend interview\".

She said for P6 students who DSA not by Sports category :-
this Half-day-programme is not for everybody, but for selected candidates only, which RGS feel they need to assess further.

When question her : how they select students to attend Half-day programme, she replied she has no info on this.

Someone wrote earlier that this year MOE requires all applicants to go through same selection process, so is RGS allowed to exempt some applicants from HDP? Or there is no such MOE requirement?

Anyway some RGS interviewees, who were not called up for HDP, have received rejection emails.

On the RGS DSA webpage, it is specifically stated that HDP is \"Only for selected applicants of academic, music and visual art talent areas\". http://www.rgs.edu.sg/admissions/admission-to-rgs/year-1-via-dsa
Not too sure about the MOE requirement - perhaps it is referring to the removal of GAT which is compulsory from 2018 applications.[/quote]I interpret the alleged MOE guideline is that all students under same domain of a school has to undergo same selection process. In past years, there were some unhappiness that GEP students get a free pass for DSA by skipping tests and go straight to interview, hence the possibility that MOE would want to ensure a more level playing field.

Anyone rec'd email for interview from DHS under Performing Art (Chinese Orchestra)?

From my conversation with the 3 persons (at least a teacher from DHS and a teacher from Shangyin Music School) during the DHS-Performing Arts (CO) audition, the indication given to me is that there will be no call-up for interview. Results of DSA will be released at end of Aug.

I was also told that this year, there are many students who DSA through CO, perhaps due to the removal of GAT.

...

If just audition for Chinese Orchestra DSA, no need any interview, does it mean ... easier now to DSA into Dunman High ?

If what the rgs staff said is true, there is still hope for those that attend interview but not HDP.
