And I think there was only 1 successful candidate last year.

Funny thing is- when I went to the humanities booth during open house during April 2023, they don’t seemed to know much about dsa (or that candidate). (Although they know a lot about their club)

Same could be said about the infocomm booth.
They were so passionate about what they do.
When I asked them about dsa - they also claimed only 1 candidate.
(And goes on telling me that 100s will apply to join their cca during cca week and around 20 will be accepted as cca member)

They told me this is the 1st year they had this Humanities domain 🤷‍️ but yes I went to the open house beside telling me looking for someone w critical thinking, they doesn't seems to know much..

Anyway for the most of the schs they took in v limited applicants as they are so many domains...

Also, for secondary ccas the competition is real too ..they also need to go for trials n selections many ccas took in less than 10 n if you wasn't selected by ur 1st few choices likely u r left w uniform grp to chose from...

about 30% of HCI admissions are through DSA, which amounts to approximately 130 students.
These 130 individuals come from over 20+ talent areas, with mathematics and science being able to recruit several dozen, while it is normal for some less popular areas to have 1 or 2 CO only.

Called NJC for Music DSA. Was told that it will take 2-3 more weeks for update on Selection test conducted last week.

Just posting here so that people will know and not bombard school with calls

Background: got rejected by SOTA, RGS ......wasn't shortlisted for first round round also.

Just wondering which music instrument does your child play?
The interview was done so early - Last week.

My kid will have an audition for NJC String ensemble on 18 July.

I have stumbled upon an article that I found quite interesting. It's definitely worth reading if you're able to understand Chinese.
