I have heard from a friend that her DS applied for DSA Music to Cat High, and the school counter offered him a CO in Humanities because the school said that they can see his potential not just in Music alone. And the principal also assured the parents that DS would still be able to attend MEP after joining the school because he has already demonstrated his suitability during the DSA audition. This was back when the school didn't have Humanities on their DSA list yet, and the child is currently in Year 4. Not sure how widespread this sort of practice is though.
Any instances of schools making offers of a different domain from the one applied? Eg apply under leadership but offered academic instead? -

Was her son from GEP? Otherwise how would a primary school student have exposure in Humanities or enter any competitions related to that?

Nope, not in GEP because not strong in Maths. It was a counter offer with a call from the VP (not P) after the school had the DSA interview with the child. His parents were very surprised as well because they didn't know such a thing could happen. Their original intention was purely for DSA Music only 😅

I see. Maybe during the interview they asked him what his hobbies/interests were and he was strongly interested in the area of Humanities

Yes, I believe that was likely how it went down during the interview. So it's good proof that the interview sessions do play a significant role in how the schools select the suitable candidates. Perhaps similar to how the NUSH selection team does it as well.

That’s y, unless one know every dsa scenario, don’t just categorically say 100% impossible - there’s always rare success case once in a while.
Another one is SOTA, go audition for music performance - gets offer music creative (it’s even in the faq) -
Hi all, would anyone have insights on the Innovation DSA category at NYGH? We missed the Open House. Is it a fairly new domain? Wondering what criteria they are looking for (eg Maths and Science results) and how Innovation can actually be demonstrated.

Actually NUSH doesnt look at results. All applicants are based on performance on their own selection tests.
3) NUS High
P5 SA2. AL9
Yes, NUSH will require applicants to submit their Primary 6 SA1 results.
Perhaps due to Covid years, no written tests or camp test so results were submit via the same DSA portal.
PSLE resutls dont matter in NUSH as they dont take part in the open Exercises. DSA 100% on their own selection process. -
Hi,
This year I’m trying for DS thru’ DSA but for NuS or SST we must fill in through DSA-sec portal only. So does that mean we can select max of 3 school choices only?
Also would like to know anyone have got admitted into SST thru DSA. Can share some idea how to prepare for selection test to SST ?
