My DS had waited three hours for his NJC interview yesterday but he only went in for ten minutes too!
Wow ! Which panel was he in and at what time ?
My DS also went in for 10+ minutes only but hardly need to wait.
His time was supposed to be 3.30pm and he went in around 3.40pm -

My DS too had to wait for over an hour. But he said interview was about 10 min. Not sure what time he went in and what time he came out. He was taken away by the senior student about 15 mins before his interview. But he said they had to wait outside for a long time.SSZ:

From what I heard from DS, the questions were mainly to assess your personality. DS mostly answered from heart and did not give any calculated well thought out answers. Not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing.
DS also said that the boy who was interviewed before him came out quite tearful. Said his whole face was red and he was wiping his face. DS was feeling very sorry for the boy. Wonder what went wrong? -

Based on my observations, my guess is that the HAST probably was the 1st level of screening. I would imagine they won't even bother looking at your portfolio unless you are within the top 20% for HAST. Thus, being an all-rounder probably was the least important factor.
I think you've hit the nail on the head. The chairman of the ACS board, in response to a question during a briefing 2 weeks ago, mentioned that ACS GEP boys would have no problem getting into ACSI anyway as they tend to score well for PSLE.phankao:
Maybe it's similar to CHS where the school would rather give away it's DSA places to boys from outside schools, especially if they see that those boys, based on their past academic records, would not have a problem getting a good enough score to enter the school with affiliation \"bonus\".
In terms of sports DSA, it is defintely more multi-faceted than just being the best. -

Anyone knows when we will know the outcome of the NJC DSA?

According to my DS, the interview panel at RI was friendlier than the panel at NJC yesterday.
Never heard of students coming out crying at RI interview also so far. -

Will be sent by snail mail and they say early Sept.
But MOE regulation requires all results to be known by 2 Sept. -
