DSA 2023
-
Have read from past threads that some schools will call up parent to verbally offer CO before proceeding with the actual procedure. My girl's preferred choice normally will give out CO later then her 2nd choice school. (Sep vs Aug). In this case, if the 2nd choice school called up to check if we will accept their offer when we do not know of our preferred choice result, how/what should be the reply be? Its just a what if kinda question.

Usually it is the TOP IP Schools that offer many DSA Seats and DOmains…. Fairfield i also noticed a few domains only
No wonder, NCHS is super fast in giving the CO, it is almost within a couple of days after the 2nd interview. The P & VP are the ones conducting the 2nd interview, which is quite different from the other DSA school. -

Logic is simple. Cap for DSA is 20% of cohort. Even if the neighborhood school offers every single talent area that the MOE allows, can she gets enough applicants to fulfill 20%, even if she choose not to have any interviews or trials? So there’s really no point in offering many, if the demand isn’t there.

As for Fairfield, do note for every DSA seat being offered, there may be one less seat for the affiliated primary school student, since the school cohort is finite. If you are the school, you probably want to moderate and achieve in some sort of balance. -
Hi, I have applied DSA-Drama at TJC for my daughter. She went for an interview but hasn’t receive any outcome yet. Some of her friends went for other DSA at TJC and got their offer letters. Did anyone receive DSA-Drama outcome from TJC.

Yes. NUSH looks for students who have a strong aptitude for Math and science. Awards in Math and Science olympiads are one way to demonstrate that, but it isn't the only way. Ultimately it is how they perform for the 2 rounds of selection that will help the school determine whether the student is the right fit for the school. There are students in NUSH who have had no olympiad experience at all. Hope that helps!
Hello, is there anyone who received a CO from NUSH and has no Math/Science Olympiad experience & awards? -

Yes, generally true. With DSA, the school can pick and choose the student intake, in that sense, more control on the intake.

Beside school with 100% intake based on DSA eg, NUS High, SST or SOTA ; The Sec Sch Cap for DSA at 20% is fixed by MOE or 20% is a approximation ?
