      Each child can submit up to 3 DSA applications. Would putting in 2 applications in diff talent areas (ie leadership & stem) to 1 specific school lessen the child’s chances as it seems to imply the child is trying too hard to get in?

      thank you for any sharing or advice.
      Applying for 2 domains to a specific school can be interpreted as a sign of your eagerness to get admitted to that school. Last year, we applied to two domains for one particular school because we were solely interested in that school. My child was only shortlisted for one of the domain and was ultimately offered a CO. The other domain's application was concluded at the application phase. I presume that the school evaluated which domain they were more interested in regarding my child and thus didn't want to waste time on the other one.

        9) if u attend SAP schools' interview like Dunman High (IP), St Nick ( IP ), River Valley High (IP), Catholic High (IP), Hwa Chong (IP),

        If the interviewer happen to pose u questions in Chinese, then answer the interviewer politely, in Mandarin.
        Because they may be testing your Mandarin proficiency level.
        My kid was asked what is mid-autumn festival in Chinese and she answered \"月饼节\" 😓
        She was in a group interview and she said that her whole group said \"月饼节\" 😂

        But nevertheless, she got her CO

                    have added the list of dropped DSA domains:

                    care has been taken to check for accuracy. But do validate against official sources before using them, in case of unintended error.
