      Anyone here know what kind of topics are for the NJC DSA interview ?

      Got topics one har? Usually they just want to find out more about your child. Not standard questions. More like talk about hobbies, and pastimes, things they enjoy.

      I saw kids going for interview at njc today already (wed).

        Is that a feedback from your child regardng the interview? Is it a panel interview? wonder what's the chances of being offered a CO if you 're already been selected to Phase 2.

It was panel interview last year. I was just waiting at the carpark and saw little kids coming out with their parents today, and guess must be for interview. Last year's interviews were conducted over several days too.

          I'm not sure the chances? Among my friends and my ds' friends, some were totally rejected, but got in in the end with psle score, and some CO, and some waitlist (but got confirmed on psle results day - they put njc as 1st choice).

            Would the students do their sch assignment during the study period @ dining hall?

            I chanced upon some photos on the internet. Wah, the boarding school quite \"modern\", huh?

                    Hi Phankao,
                    From my understanding is that 200 students were selected from 690 from the Phase 1. There is 150 places which means there's a 70% chance of getting a CO at Phase 2. So are the ones rejected, from Phase 1 or Phase 2?

                        I did mention they went for the interview, right? So that means they all went for phase 2. Somehow all my friends kids got into phase 2, but some were not offered in the end.
