As the title states. Is a Co-Curricular activity really required
for a DSA admission into Tertiary Education Centres? I don't really
know how this system works but from what I understand, a student is
able to gain admission into a particular school before the
traditional selection process takes place. After doing a bit of
Googling, I discovered that many of the Junior Colleges and
Polytechnics..well actually all of the ones I've seen, require at
least an excellence in a particular CCA.
So a website states that all applicants who have talents in
the Sports for example..or the Performing Arts for, and wants to
enter the school, has to submit his/her cca records about that
area, academic records and a teachers reccomendation(Optional), and
has to pass an interview. That's all okay and all and I am able to
produce a teachers letter and academic records. But here is the
problem, if lets say I am not a member of the required cca, nor do
I have any external certificates for it, but somehow am able to
pass the interview smoothly , will I still stand a chance? Or can I
even take part in the interview in the first place? If I am able to
read musical notes because of a parent or so, but don't have any
certificates to prove it, can I still take part in the exercise? I
know that the JAE is the main process of entering a tertiary
education centre but I just want to give myself a little more
chance and not make the same mistake as in the PSLE. Thanks for the
help.
P.S I made this thread at 2.16am so don't mind my awkward
phrasing.
