This was our first DSA journey. It has been a long one - it was partly fun, but also hard work, and definitely very distracting for the kid from proper studying! Happy that it's over after a lot of research, prep and anxiety.

My DD received 3 COs, from SOTA, SCGS (PA) and SNGS (Sports).

If any parent applying for DSA in the future would like advice, or would like me to share our experience, I'd be happy to do so in a private message. For now, I'll leave you with the message that interview prep is extremely important!

I can finally stop checking emails and KSparents for updates! All the best to everyone for the PSLE!

Hi can u pm me? I’m new n not really sure how to DM etc etc

CO. I was quite shocked because we didn't have high hopes. More so when no letter came yesterday and today but husband encouraged me to call to have a closure. One of the top dancers in my DD cohort also went for second interview that's why we didn't think she would get it.

So for those who haven't received letters, do call to find out. Good luck!!!

A top musical player fr my DD school who got grade 8 also got rejected by NYGH and DHS but CO fr NJC and SOTA. I also got a shock as to why NY and DHS rejected her as she’s one of the nationals finalist players. But according to the same girl, DHS has rejected Youth Orchestra and top-ranked players before too. Rly wonder how they decide.

Congrats! Your DD is a very unique case. She applied DSA to different schools on different domains. Usually most students will apply to schools on the same domain, eg sports for all 3 schools, or music to 3 schools. Your daughter effectively applied via sports on one and arts on the other. She must be multi talented. Definitely an unconventional route. It would be interesting if during the interview the schools asked her which other schools she applied to and which domains. If they did indeed ask, it would be an interesting interview session between the school panel and your DD.

I assuming your DD (and you of course) will be having a very difficult time deciding which CO to rank as 1st choice as each are totally different from each other…. IB program vs sports vs PA. (I’m assuming you got IP for both SCGS & SNGS, and not one O levels and the other IP which would add further questions to your decision making process!)

Thank you!

Hello,


We hv received a CO and a WL.

Ive read the previous posts on allocation of choices .

May I confirm, if my DD puts the WL as her first choice and CO as her second choice, she will be allocated her second choice ( the CO) for certain, if the WL is not converted?

Meaning, her CO is guaranteed if not superseded by a converted WL?

Thanks in advance .
