No, they cannot see. But during interview, they will ask the pupil (candidate) -

1)
Which other schools did u apply for DSA, and in which domain, apart from us?

2) if they are really very keen on you, towards the end of the interview, they will ask you this question -

suppose all 3 schools which u applied for, all offered you a CO each. May we know, which first choice school's CO, will you accept ?

They want to know, to what degree, are u interested in them, serious about them.

Note
In some schools, they will only pose u this qn, if they are really interested in taking u in.

Ohh great.. this is new to me, I always thought the secondary schools you applied to can also see what are the other 2 choices the student have put in!

Thanks for that!

From experience , St nicks does not look for the super low single digit scorers. Typically , those scoring AL4-5 does not even get an interview . And neither her do the girls necessarily need to be head prefect or head or CCA either .

I would suggest that you apply for both IP & O level track to increase your chances .[/quote]

Thank you! :xedfingers: :xedfingers:

Kid was at the NSG these few days and she said that NJC gave out DSA offers via letters to some students? That's fast? I thought applications start next week.

It's not an offer letter, could be some form of invitation letter to the kids to consider applying to NJC.

But formal selection like trials and interviews will still take place.

Just to share. my dd scored > AL10 for her p5 and p6 mid year.

During our DSA application last year we selected \"no pref\" as we were fine with OLP and ultimately she was offered CO for IP track.

My view is while the results do matter, they look at things in totality and how much the school wants you.

For IP offering (especially dual track schools), the most important component is the interview process. If your child can impress upon the school during the interview with your thinking process, there's a high chance.

:congrats:
Convenient to share what was your DD's end of P5 results and if she's being offered St Nicks IP or another school?

It varies year to year and they look at the total pool of DSA talents required (ie. the outgoing S4s).

Leadership is one of the most competitive domains with no shortage of applicants.

Just a word of advice to all considering DSA. It is very important that your child feels comfortable in when it comes to the domain(s) which they are applying for, especially for Sports and PA because the commitment is no joke.

I see... so which means its up to the school's discretion how many leadership dsa they will need for that incoming sec 1 batch?
Sports typically has 8 vacancies, 4 IP and 4 G3, can i say for Leadership there;s no specific guideline?

Hello… anybody knows how many vacancies does St Nicks Leadership DSA usually have? Both IP and G3 track. Thank you!

Most of the kids I know who applied thru DSA got into IP if they are usually single digit scorer… if they are not single digit scorer in p5 or P6… they will be offered O track instead.

DD was from SNGS Pri but her DSA classmates were from another girls' school. Not exactly the top few schools though (if you are referring to NY, RGPS, Rosyth, Tao Nan).

Just making wild guesses… the 2 DSA girls were also from another IJ school? if I’m correct, then I roughly know who they are! :evil:
