          Yes, you are correct

          Out of hundreds of applicants who have applied for Dunman High (music) domain, only 21 candidates were short-listed, for audition. And these 21 candidates are very good musician, a few have already passed Grade 8 (Practical & Theory), while some possess Diploma in music. These 21 candidates, out of hundreds of DSA applicants, got short-listed by Dunman High for audition, is no mean feat

          And out of Total 21 short-listed Western music candidates who attended audition last time, in the end, only 3 candidates were short-listed for interview, yesterday Friday afternoon (2 August 2019).
          This is how competitive DSA (music) domain is, @Dunman High

          Amongst the 3 candidates who attended interview, 2 are from SAP primary schools, one is from Non-SAP school. They were interviewed, in Mandarin
          I am impressed with your intel. How do you know how many is being shortlisted for each domain? I tried to look at the list when my son register for the interview, I can’t tell who is from which domain.

            Is yesterday an interview day for all domains? As my boy classmates from different domains were all there for interview.

            Yes they tested chinese on the spot and my boy was stunned. First time intro in mandarin. 3 interviewers to 1 student and they really know he applied other schools as they asked we heard you changed your trial date etc...so if we will to offer you, which school will you choose?
            Was your Son tagged under 4I or 4J during the interview?

                    Wonder how many was selected for interview in Maths & Science domain.

                    The interviewers never seem to ask if they prefer Maths or Science right?

                      How abt the email notification that you received for interview? Is it for science and maths? The interviewers asked my Son if he is more interested in science or maths.

                        The email notification stated Interview (STEM- Maths & Science).


                        I thought they might ask and still ask him to think through.
