newbie Q - does applying to SOTA take up one of the 3 DSA-SEC slots?

It doesn’t count as one. Different system.

Not surprising given the NUSH and SST announcements...


Conduct of DSA Selection

3. Given the high vaccination rates of students and staff in schools, MOE will allow the resumption of in-person interviews and selection for the 2022 DSA exercise. This enables students to better demonstrate their talents and potential, especially for trials or group tasks where coordination between candidates is important (e.g. team sports, group performance). Safe Management Measures (SMMs), in line with the national posture, will be in place to ensure the safety of students and staff participating in the interviews and selection process.

Thanks for the update! All the best to those called up for the trials/auditions/interviews. Some of them could be held on weekdays, so working parents please be prepared to take urgent leave to accompany your child there for moral support…

Any update for the school open house 2022?

Does anyone know if the schools will arrange another date for the interview or request for another date if unable to attend on day of the shortlisted interview ?

Depends on individual school.

My DD is applying MEP this year. Looking at RGS & MGS. She only got AL8 in P5. Is the score good enough? Hopefully she will do better in SA1 this month.

DSA for MEP will depend largely on talent. It will really go down to how well each candidate can showcase her talent. Given that there are around 1 spot or max 2 up for grabs, it’s gonna be very competitive.

If, on the other hand, you are talking about S1 application, will have to put in a little bit more effort to get to AL6 to have a chance.
