@rgsnushnj15 unfortunately, I doubt they can select anymore than 180 kids even if they wanted to. That’s supposed to be their max capacity.

@revils_ling
For 2022, about 30-40 was called for interview, not very sure exact figure as school divided them into 2 different sessions, and students can’t communicate among different groups, my son said no wifi @ interview venue, haha…

Wow that’s alot lesser than this year… For this year’s NUSH interview, even though it’s not for everyone, there were still about 110+ students who attended the interview round on over 2 days. ~70 on 23 July split into 2 sessions of 35 kids each, then split further into 7 smaller groups with 5 kids each. Then on 31 July, another ~40 kids were interviewed in one session.

@melting_starz yes, it’s harder to find info as compared to before the switch. But at least not all threads were lost in the transition. Just need more time to scroll through.
Once again, all the very best for our DCs and all the other hopefuls who are waiting for an outcome for their DSA application!

@Yanzhang2 any idea how many students they normally call for Interview

For this year, it was a total ~70 for the 2 sessions on 23 July, and ~40 for the session on 31 July.

@revils_ling
4th Aug evening received CO email from NUSH on 2022

Thanks! I also came across someone who mentioned it in the 2022 for reference.

@melting_starz i’m not sure about prior to 2023. There were also 2 days of scheduled interviews in 2023 based on what I’ve read in the DSA 2023 thread on KSP. It was shared that the 2nd session last year was on 25 July, as compared to 31 July for this year. And emails were sent out on the same afternoon (for unsuccessful) and evening (for COs) on 2 August 2023. So unless NUSH teachers are very certain about their assessment from yesterday’s interview, I doubt they will start sending out the emails tomorrow (2 Aug). A more comfortable timeline would be next Monday (5 Aug). Nonetheless, this is just my guess. They might still be super efficient and surprise/shock us tomorrow

Apparently NUSH is still conducting DSA interviews today. About 40 students are attending the interview scheduled this afternoon. And a parent of 1 of today’s interviewees shared that they had only received NUSH’s email for interview after the previous interview session had concluded on 23 July. Is anyone DC taking part in today’s interview session?

@melting_starz Thanks! And u’re right! Hopefully our kids can all achieve a favourable outcome in this process! 🩷

@melting_starz we received email to attend SST camp on 17 Aug. Will let DS decide what he wants to do for the show n tell segment. All the best for your kid on 3 Aug!

@jojojoe wow twins! 🩷 I think SST will usually arrange for kids from different schools to be group together for the camp. So since the boys are twins, the school has split them into different batches to better understand and assess them separately. May both your boys have wonderful experiences at SST!
