2010 DSA(Direct School Admission)

cascada:

Weather forecast for this Sat : Late morning and early afternoon showers with thunder.

If their forecast is near accurate, then those who are rushing between HCI/NUSH & RI may want to plan alternative route in case flood / traffic jam due to storm.

Hope the weather will turn fine on that day. Good luck to all.

I also hope that the weather is fine that day. My P5 is going to watch the NDP.

If the time conflict is between RI and NUSH or HCI and NUSH, does it mean we need to forego one? And between HCI and NUSH, which one will you forego?

Tough decision. Really depends which culture your DS prefers For me it will be NUSH anytime . . . I dun think my DS can survive the Chinese culture and I m sure he is no Humanities student :imdrowning:

How was the DSA on 24th everyone? Any tea session from NUSH this year? And who are those invited this year?

The Maths & Science Camp was alright according to my son. The English part was the most draining as they had to write and that to him was not much fun. He enjoyed it but felt that it was too short a duration. Was better than what he had expected. Regardless of the outcome, I think it was a good opportunity for him to learn and make some new friends…

All the best to your son! I must say that as a parent you have a great attitude and your son is very fortunate!

Hi all,


Now we are in the final stage of DSA - the Interview season. Many students, especially GEPs, might have completed their interviews.

Can any student (or the parent) share the Interview experience? Like what questions were asked, how many interviewers were in the Panel? etc.

Thanks a lot and best wishes for all DSA applicants.

so far has not heard of one-student to few-teachers type of interview format.

it has always been a few teachers to a group of students......so, it is more like chit chat sessions

some questions being asked : what value add can you bring to the school ? what other school have you applied for ? which will you choose ?(this is a wicked question, to me)

Yes agree. they love to ask the last question. I really pity the kids that have to be interview savvy at such a young age!
