DSA 2017

Maybe one way to get a sense of the chances is to find out 1) the size of the total sec 1 intake, 2) the rough number of students who were interviewed. If the school is taking in only 35% of the total intake via dsa, then you can work out the total number of students they are taking in via dsa and compare that number with the number of students who were interviewed
A likely impact of lower intake of DSA students for IP schools will be lower COP for PSLE entry. Hopefully a 2 - 4 points reduction in COP for the top 6 schools.
Unless we have insider info, there is no way to know the number of students attending interview versus accepted. But it is likely that schools' DSA boards would interview less students if they already know that DSA intake will be reduced. So if called up for interview, the percentage of success should be no different from previous years'. -

For SJI IP DSA admission, the number is only 60. So we are prepared for the X.
Is this the number for this year? Divided between sports, arts, music, leadership and innovation, that like 12 per category!
I think there might be more interviews after this batch. Because we thought ds would have to reschedule at first as his oral overlapped with the interview slot. The school said to write in with the reason, and they would reschedule him after this batch of interviews were completed.
Which means we might have a wait awhile before the results are out... -
RGS has interviews 4th and 7th. Any other dates? Just wondering how many more interviews they will be conducting as any COs would come only at the end of all interviews (I am guessing).

Perhaps. On the other hand, some students who are academically strong but don't have any particular talent may decide not to try for DSA (or may not get any offers) and go by T-score instead.Happy70:

Our prelim oral clashed too for another school and we were advised by friends to reschedule the oral. School was very understanding and helped us with it.momresource:
