Hi vk2010,

Is personal statement required for RI and HCI DSA?

both RI and HCI do not require personal statement. In fact, HCI does not even require nicely prepared portfolio.....same for RI.

I know of people who last minute filled in the data online, print out, stapled the certs, and that's it ! One very interesting case for RI DSA - the boy only attached a catalog of his work in an exhibition and he got in

I always wonder about the 75%, 80%, 85% academic average that some schools say is needed for DSA application. But every school has different standards, so in this case, it seems like students in schools with more lax exam papers will have greater chance?

the selection tests set by the DSA schools will ensure they are measure by the same standard, regardless of what marks which school they are from

now the quote button reappears

funny how all these teething problems appear and disappear and reappear

is CKS using a service provider or is he DIY ? (u have my sympathies)

But they state that the school records must show eg. 80% average. Surely some pri school's 75% might even be better than some pri school's 80%? So those from schools with very strict exams would not have chance to apply for that same DSA due to criteria, but student from a school with easier exams can. That's what I'm trying to say.
