DSA 2011

Herbie:
not necessarily soIf the kid tells the school that he \"will decide later\".
The impression given to the teacher would be \"you are uncertain, not decisive and not interested in joining the school la\"
schools also know they apply for a few DSA and a decision will have to be made later, and nobody could be 100% certain to apply for a single DSA and be made an offer. life not so simple
I know the school that most often ask that kind of question is HCI
in fact that is one of the answers from the interview coach who was involved in dsa interview -
if everyone says that they will decide later and you are tell them that you die die want to join them dun you think you will stand out from the rest…

DSA is like going for job interview… if you tell the company that you decide later… they will throw yr letter into the waste paper basket/place in one corner and indicate "Not keen"

Dear Mr. VeryKiasu2010,
How did your DS answer this question in the DSA interview last year? :evil:
We are eagerly waiting to hear the answer.....please don't say not asked this question!!!

not necessarily true, after being through the DSA exercise in the same scenario of choice, plus having the chance of personal interaction with those teachers / principals / interviewers / interviewing coaches...
for GEP kids with consistent result, and high performing mainstream kids, receiving more than 1 DSA offers is norm. there is nothing wrong to tell the interviewers that decision will be made later, it is not a sign of being unsure of what you want. it is showing them being wise not to rush into a decision just because someone made the first offer. you have a choice and be mature about it. as a top/good student, you are in a position of strength.
it is just a trick question from the interviewer, nothing else. it is usually the last question for fun, they have already made up their mind. Such DSA interview is not so much giving the correct answer, it is how you present yourself, being articulate and genuine and honest than to give a superficial answer to please the listeners. Even for job interviews, bosses know how to sieve out the genuine answers from the boss-pleaser kind of answers.
as the parents and kids do find out more about the school even after receiving the various DSA offers, and also the DSA exercise form will only be distributed after they have sat for the PSLE, it perfectly okay to say that decision will be made later, up to the point of internet submission at end of October. -

We are not asking the kid to lie, the kid has to really love the school which they have applied for DSA… otherwise why go for DSA…
so as to secure more ‘safety net’?
