Hi,

If a student takes Foundation Chinese in PSLE, will it affect their chance to get through SOTA DSA? Is there's a good chance for students who took Foundation Chinese being accepted into SOTA DSA?

I understand that selected DSA students have to meet the minimum score for Express stream in their PSLE results. Thank you for your help.

hi!

no it will not affect as long as your child does well for her other subjects, it should be fine. i have some classmates who took foundation chinese in primary school and are now in sota. there's no problem HAHA.

judging fr the number of shortlisted students who attended the auditions in june, my guess is literary arts might be the smallest domain...

by the time students reach end of Year 4 or end of Year 6, those who DSA into SOTA under \"literary Arts\" : are they expected to complete writing a novel on their own ?

Eg

Those script-writer got to write a script or a story plot for a drama series or a movie, like in Mediacorp channel 8 drama

hi!

currently, students who are under literary arts are to join film for years 5 and 6 as there is no literary arts for the IB yet, hence having them transfer to film.

for Theatre drama domain @ SOTA, how many CO / Wait-list, were offered last year (2018) batch ?

hi! just saw this question haHA

i'm not sure about the numbers but from what i know through my classmates only a handful of us were on waitlist, but as told to us by the head of faculty there is a high chance you will get in anyway even if you are on waitlist! hope this helps!

hi,
my dd is p5 this year and is considering applying to 2 domains in SOTA next year for DSA. Does anyone here know if applying to two domains will reduce her chances for each? thank you.

hi! no it will not reduce her chances haha, i have some classmates that applied for two artforms and got into one but didn't get accepted into the other, some got accepted for both too! it will only reduce her chances if she doesn't show that she has passion or the willingness to learn new things hAHA

hi all,

My P4 daughter is interested in getting into SOTA suddenly, she is keen in singing (voice) and just started her CCA this year with her primary school after her teacher recommendation. She missed the SYF this year. May i know what sort of portfolio she need to prepare to get into SOTA? I really appreciate any one that can share with me, esp for audition via Voice as i have not plan to do DSA before and i think its a bit late as compare to others whom may have realised the kids interest or talent. She has piano background and currently pursuing Grade 4. Thank you!!

hi! current sota student here to be honest, you don't need a big fancy portfolio to get accepted into sota, you just need the passion and creativity towards the artform. for our year one theatre cohort this year, a lot of us didn't have any prior experience in theatre at all, so the chances are high even if you don't have much in your portfolio! hope this helps!

Also waiting for result :s but can I ask, if really got confirmed offer from SOTA, when do we confirm whether we are opting SOTA? Do we still proceed to choose other schools via the MOE system and confirm only after school allocation? (Cos I read someone that people may change their mind subsequently and reject the confirmed offer?)

hi! current year one sota student here
from experience, we had to confirm by end oct-start of nov through a form given by your child's primary school. by choosing other schools, do you mean through dsa? if you really want to go for sota but have other dsa schools your child dsad for, they can put sota as their first choice, then the other schools for the next few choices! hope your child gets in to sota, good luck!
