Hi,


Dose SOTA publish overall IB diploma results of its students? How many managed to get into local universities?

None has graduated yet. Eh...all those that I know are not keen on local Unis, don't know why? Btw, afew overseas unis came and audition them and some are offered scholarships already.

[limws1]

Were they offered scholarships based on their academic results or their art form performance?


Kind of worrying if SOTA students aren’t keen on local Uni. That means the parents has to plan financially for an overseas tertiary for their children.

Mainly art form since it is an art school.

Hello,

I’m a secondary one student who is going for the talent academy(visual arts!) next Monday. I have completed all 8 pieces of art and since I still have time, I was wondering, to the parents whom children got accepted into SOTA for visual arts- what was in your child’s portfolio? Did it include things like figure drawing, environmental drawing etc.? And what are the questions that might/will be asked during the interview? I am terribly nervous about interviews and this whole SOTA thing haha. Interviews were never my "thing".
Thank you so much! Aaaahhh…

Sorry, can't remember my dd2 art porttfolio as it was 5 yrs ago. I think it is written clearly in the application the different medium they needed, just follow them. Of course, you can bring something different to impress them. As for interview questions, it has never been a set questionaire. Just answer them confidently and enthusiastically in whatever they ask you and smile! All the best!!

It's for all music students. Only AGP has practise session in curriculum time. ie another 11/2 hrs in their time table. Btw, I don't know if they have since changed their regulations or done with their \"teething\", best to check on the extra practise session part.

:thankyou: :salute:

Oh some other questions confused about. Anyone know what the interview during the Talent Academy would be like? Would they give very random topics?


Also, what the panelists be looking for really? Are they actually looking at the technique of the student or the passion? Heard that this student got the Advanced 1 certificate for vocational exams and another student who has not really done any formal ballet training before and the second student got in instead of the first.

Sorry Balletcharm, can't (no idea) comment on this.

I think SOTA place more emphasis on the student's ability to cope with the IB program than the student's art form talent. The second student you mentioned probably did better in the writing test.

Hi,


Are there many foreign students in SOTA? Those that are not PR.
