1. DSA schools are looking across their list of applicants. They do not know the breakdown of the results in your own school. Even if they do, it's not that critical since they will usually consider a wide spectrum e.g AL 1 to 3 (or even 4) than just purely AL1. It's the other 'extra' bits that they are looking at and looking for as per the earlier comments by coast and Anotherday.

2. You either put your best subject or your favourite subject first (we deal with that below). Don't try to work the odds. There is NO QUOTA per subject. Hence, if there are 50 math DSA applicants and 25 of them are outstanding, the school can offer 25 DSA CO to math applicants. On the other, there may be 20 EL DSA applicants and only 1 is outstanding. The school will choose to offer 1 DSA to EL applicants. Put simply, if you are trying to work the odds, you are not going to go anywhere if your talent area is less than satisfactory.

3. As for favourite subject, some people don't want to choose their best subject due to the DSA commitment if selected (which Lavanya123 has explained). This is understandable. Hence, if you are feeling that way, pick the one that you prefer.

P/S: the consideration is obviously different if you have to choose between sports / arts and academic talent area. There ARE limited places for sports / arts due to the inherent size of a team.

I see.. thank you so much for all your inputs. Appreciate it 🙏🏻

Should be, as email mentioned \"There is NO alternate date for the selection test/interview. Absence from this selection test/interview will deemed your child’s withdrawal from this DSA application.\"[/quote]

Thank you so much👍

For kids not invited for interviews, possible to be under wait list for nush? Or it’s a straightforward CO or reject?

I think those invited to come down to attend NUS High interview are

because

NUS High is hesitant,
not certain what to do with these applicants, based on their results of two round of tests conducted, not sure if they can really fit into NUSH, or not.
So, invite them to come down, for a face to face on-site discussion, settle once & for all, is the best way out. After the interview is over, the decision making for NUSH become much clearer to them, and the outcome can still include a (Waitlist or un-successful). But there are people who shared in this forum previously from several past batches that
even if is a Waitlist (NUSH), the chance of conversion is still very high.

Has anyone gotten SST round 2 invitation for 13 Aug? So far the parents who shared are for 6 Aug. Wondering if all the round 2 invitations are out or they are sending by batches.

All the best for your child in the interview!

We didn't receive the interview email, I guess that means it's either confirmed accepted or confirmed rejected for us, just that we don't know yet.

50-50 chance according to Bayesian, or either 100% or 0% according to Frequentist

Thanks for sharing and all the best.
I think you shall be happy about not receiving an interview invite from NUSH. Your boy's profile is impressive and most likely has been confirmed by NUSH.

My boy has similar strength as your boys, is good at math and also has quite some Infocomm experience.
It seems that they are the only two primary school student training on Mr judge and code breakers.
Let us wait for the good news...

Amazing! They should become sparring partner, iron sharpens iron sending you a DM to confirm, as we also noticed another Primary 6 student who had started mrJudge & https://Codebreaker.xyz since he was P4.

They can perhaps do virtual coding contest together every weekend or such. And let's wait indeed, hopefully both our kids are accepted into NUSH!

EDIT: oops just realized from your previous post that your son applied to HCI Infocomm, HCI Math and RI Math only.

It is always good to be honest during interview. Nothing wrong with applying two domains fr the same school. This also shows that this school is your first priority. My son attended RI interview today, and the interviewers know that he applied two domains in RI, they asked if he receives any update from the other domain. They didn’t ask which one he prefer the most.
