DSA 2022

[zac's mum]

Did a quick search & apparently some schools state the required conduct grade in their criteria. Example:

DSA-Sec Talent Shortlisting Criteria

These are our school’s shortlisting criteria for each DSA-Sec Talent offered. In general, all potential students must:

•\tDemonstrate strong passion for, as well as motivation in the respective talent areas;
•\tDemonstrate commitment, perseverance and resilience in their talent area endeavour;
•\tDemonstrate good character with a minimum conduct grade of “Very Good”.

In addition, each talent areas will have their own shortlisting criteria…

Is the commitment for DSA into an IP school like RGS or RI for 4 years or 6 years?

The commitment for the domain (academic, sport, CCA) will be for 4 years but the student will be locked-in to the associated JC (6 years).

Hi, anyone received any news on HCI academics? My DS’s classmate said he received selection email for interview, English domain, after he submitted a compo.

Website says 1-7th July… so wondering is it out earlier for academics domain.

DSA is based on 'needs' and 'wants' of a school, not what the school has to offer. For example, even though HCI has choir as a CCA, and it was always a powerhouse in Gymnastics, it doesn't ask for talents in these areas.

If HCI (or NYGH) feels that they are able to attract students to sign up for AEP, and they have decided that they are not going to spare a DSA spot for any candidates, no point listing it down. In truth, while many schools list VA Design and Media as a category, I don't think you will see a lot of actual offer and success story, especially to the popular schools.

Besides HCI and NYGH, of the 4 pioneer AEP schools (NYGH and HCI started in 1984, VS and CHIJ TP started in 1985), only VS offers DSA to AEP. CHIJ TP, like the other 2 schools, doesn't.

Got it. I guess if the school consistently gets X to Y students to enroll (in AEP) from whoever walks through the gate on Day 1 (whether via S1 or other DSA domains), then there is no need to spend a DSA space on the domain. It is just interesting where they (or any school) elect to spend their spaces. Arguably, other domains could be filled this way too. I guess it's just an issue of prioritization and/or competing for students in certain areas. Not claiming anything is right or wrong here. Obviously every school has a reason and does what they think is best.

Perhaps per prior replies. I guess it wasn't clear but my point is HCI DSA cannot go RI for JC. Similarly, SCGS IP DSA must go EJC, cannot go RI for JC.
