Anyone knows if CHS sports domain has send out the interviews invite or rejections already? I called the school but the admin says they do not know anything. Email the teacher in charge but no reply.

Interview was conducted last week.

PSC Scholarship is for those intending to pursue a career in the Public Service. I know of some top students not intending to apply for PSC Scholarship as they do not see themselves as public servants (e.g, entrepreneurs, academic career, …).

If she has applied for PSC Scholarship, it is quite surprising that she was not selected for interview. Given her impressive portfolio and achievements, I think she has a very bright future ahead of her. Hope she got herself another scholarship.

Thanks for sharing.

Not my child so didn't follow up. Just sharing what I know. Hopefully other organization offers her though.

Thanks for the info. Guess DS was not selected then. Alright, move on to the other schools.

Before reaching the interview stage, there is the psychometric test, and there is also a stressful \"chit chat\".
PSC wants to portray itself as being diversified, looking not just at grades. Same for Medicine. So they like to highlight a few non-JC recipients. But looking at this year's PSC recipients, the majority are still from the same schools. :lol:

I went through PSC website before and came across the advice given on how to handle PSC interviews. Some of the advices are: “be yourself; we want to see the real you”. “ it is ok to disagree with the interviewers as long you can explain your reasons”

The stressful \"chit chat\" is for PSC to assess the character amongst other traits. For a student who has straight As throughout without facing any failures before, I'm afraid it's a no go also. VIA portfolio is all \"man-made\". That's not to say PSC's assessment is always correct. After all, it's still humans' decisions, which is still fallible.

Since we are in a DSA thread, just like to share with parents it's ok not to be successful. In fact, all the rejections / wait list that come along make the child a stronger person. All the best in your DSA journey.
