Can I check what is selection ratio after pass 1st round NUSH DSA?

Traditionally,
Round 1 applicants all invited to take test about 2000++ to 4000 kids
Round 2 selected will be 400 kids
Final cohort size - 180 since 2022 including Asean scholars.

No one knows the ratio of CO to WL but some kids wil have to go through an interview again to decide if CO or WL while others is directly a CO or rejection. There will be a DSA preview traditionally for CO & WL kids to attend a day camp to see how lessons are conducted in NUSH.

If rejected and there are vacancies, SIE will take place right after PSLE results and interview will be conducted
before a CO offered and need to accept before you take part in open Sec school exercise.

Any interview, whether Is at HCI or at any other Secondary school -

the outcome is ... 50% chance.
Because

either
you make it or you don't.

Hi -

The Kid was not selected for Bi-L. Instead he was selected for English (Humanities). Yup, HCI allowed multiple DSA tracks.

If you want to about HCI English/Humanities DSA selection, the Kid says:

The English DSA process starts with a written test of writing a poem. This poem was of the type where my child had to make one sentences with every letter used to spell a given word, each beginning with the letters of the written word. Ie: E... A... R... T... H... Note that the sentences had to be related to the word itself. The Kid wrote about how earth is abused by mankind, but other students wrote about the scenery and wonders of the earth.

The test was followed by a group interview.
Interview was on the child's fav book, and which char matches the child best. The Kid says he should have brought along a literary classic book instead of Harry Potter.

Cheers & best of luck.

Observation noted. Thank you.


so,
what Hwa Chong DSA selection panel basically did was to,

pick / route
some Applicants from the
(DSA Bilingualism ) domain,

into another


DSA (English Humanities) domain,
if

u can prove (demo) to Hwa Chong that,
u (P6 student) have got the English language prowess which Hwa Chong is looking for.

===========================

Earlier, someone posted in this forum, was it you, zac mom, asking for -

what sort of criteria, is Hwa Chong or any other Secondary school looking for, in those candidates applying for DSA (Humanities) domain ?

So zac mom,
have u gotten the answer now (refer above), in case u have more than 1 kid ?

I was wondering more about DSA Humanities for ACSI, which appeared first time in 2022 DSA exercise. Did it replace a former DSA English domain in the school?
