DSA 2022

[speechie33]

Hi there,

Got an email from Dunman High today that the DSA application (under Academic domain: STEM) for my DS is received. No news on being short-listed yet 😅 I guess the schools are starting proper only now, to sieve through the applications..

There's also a schedule posted on the DHS website - only the short-listed students (who will be notified via email) will need to attend the trials, tests and interviews. These appear to be taking place between next week and most of July (or early August).

From past experiences with my DS(1), none of the schools actually posted out rejection emails during the DSA phase, except for HCI (after portfolios sent) and NUSH (after the last round: interview) .

So..if there's no news by late July = the kids can concentrate on prepping for PSLE instead 😅

Take care, everyone

How odd. I thought that the schools would (and should) notify unsuccessful applicants. It only seems courteous to do so. Then again, courtesy is becoming a rare commodity these days.

Hi, does anyone know whether the schools call up all applicants for sports domain or they would have filter through already before inviting? Still waiting here. Thanks.

DS’ friends applied for ACSI Rugby + Track & Field. For these sports, all applicants are invited via email for the trials. If u applied but havent received the email, maybe call them to check.

My first experience was in 2020 for DS(1). Hopefully, most of the schools would reply somehow - that will be helpful - for both the kids and us for sure 😉

Sorry I do not know. One friend did not receive email for ACSI Robotics trial, so I think there is some screening done for that.

As for academic domains, possibly they will look at the report book grades and/or declared competitions/achievements to screen, since there is no test?

I just checked the schedule again, and saw that for academic domains, they have stated:


“Shortlisted applicants will be contacted for interviews.”

That means there is shortlisting/screening taking place (probably ongoing now).
