Hi Currently in NYGH, a sec 1. I am not a sports dsa but I have a few friends who dsa-ed via sports. They do have alot of practices as compared to the various ccas. For certain cca, upon confirming offer they actually had to go for practices before the sch year begin. But I guess its really fun as well. Many of my friends are coping relatively well I do not deny the high academic expectations but I think the rule is to NEVER EVER Procrastinate. I regret not listening my seniors' advice regarding procrastination after MYE But slowly its alright NY is really a great school if you are looking for a place where lifelong friendships will be forged Overall if you want to dsa sports/performing arts , you must love it As long as you love it, the tiring training shouldnt be too bothering. It only serves as a way to bond with your teammates I guess. Of course these are just my speculations so dont trust it too much I am currently in a cca in clubs and societies, joining it with the mentality that I could slack and all that but I am so wrong ;( Thats so much work etc etc but it will all turn out well Omg I am so naggy hahah I think I should stop here alrdy hehe
