        hopefully the long wait is for them to think more carefully who else to issue CO la.. :xedfingers:

        Just my personal opinion, the NJC admin need to buck up on this matter. My DD tried DSA for year 5 ...... also last minute called up for audition ...... :stupid:

        Oh now is yr 5 DSA period?.. And need audition? Don't tell me yr 5, the schools still want DSA thru performance art or sports? :scratchhead:[/quote]JC DSA is usually earlier. Auditions around June, latest July? For JC DSA, it's mostly under CCA, lah. Anyway, it's nothing unusual to be called up for auditions with only a day's notice with many schools. They expect that since you have applied for DSa, you should be well-prepared for audition around that time period.

          some are not for transfer. For many JCs - RI, HCI, VJC, NJC, and many others (except DHS & RVHS, I think?), - all take in DSA for JC1.

                  because vlim's ds only applied to RI and HCI and no where else

                  aiyo no wonder my ears itch...u all talking about me? πŸ˜‚ ...
                  anyway I believe there are many geppers out there that only apply for 2 sec schools...
                  Never try one school only..even if u are pretty confident...My ds' classmate applied to one and unfortunately only get a WL... πŸ˜“

                  Just spoken to my DS's form teacher & was advised by him to try for 3 schools. Asked him why 3 and not 2 as what we intend to do next year & he said most of the kids in their school will try 3. :?

                    I think trying for 2 or 3 schools would depend on the kids. If kids like my son only like the 2 schools, probably he will apply DSA to 2 schools. If the kids have not decided which school to go and/or not too confident with his results then maybe. Most likely these gp of kids will go for 3 DSA... Orin mind they have 3 schools which they like but have not decided at this pt of time .. :snooze:

Trying 2 & not 1 is because there's no guarantee. However, if he gets < 80%, he'll try more since the chance of getting CO is much lower.

                        Vlim, did your DS's teacher gives any recommendation on which school to DSA before he make his decision?
