Has anyone received CDNIS results yet? Tks

So far I know Pre-rep results released in this week.

Reception result out already. i got twins… One got rejected.

oh...sad to learn that. what is your plan for the rejected one?

作者: 21Ckid 時間: 13-3-9 20:54

I heard ISF had rejected one of a triplet, accept the other 2! It is a bit irresponsible, as parents need to make a difficult choice.

Result came out already? The lady said will be the end of march on the interview day. Are there few groups with different interview time?

Monster parents not only pushing kids crazy but also schools. Sibling priority is now the lowest priority among debenture and staffs. Even IS looks for higher potential kids based on the interview assessment in order to produce graduates with better college placements or IB results.
One of the parent in the HKIS interview said that GSIS explicitly told her that sibling is not a consideration and my colleague with the elder one in CIS being told that his involvement is not enough, it is unlikely his younger one will have any priority. Sigh.....

If I were the parent, I will drop it. Those schools do not consider the parents and kids feeling and needs are not good schools.

But this is not easy, ISF admit at year 1 and what if all three landed in tier 3 IS? Will the other 2 blame the parents (and their brother) one day?

作者: Shrimpiggy 時間: 13-3-9 23:05 標題: 回覆：21Ckid 的帖子

It depends on how you tell them. Even the two brothers might think they lose a chance to study in a good school (though that school is not successful enough), unity and family tie is more important to plunge the unlucky one to study in 3rd tier IS.

Similar things happen in St Paul Co-ed (the LS equivalent of CIS). I heard an incident: the elder studies there and not outperforming. The younger applied and rejected. The elder wrote a letter to the principal asking for a favour. And..... no reply, the school didn't even bother to waste time to write a reply or to speak to the elder boy!!

It is a cruel place out there, in these so called elite schools. Its all blood and tears, so to speak.

I know a gal who is very sharp to get both SPCC and DGS offer. She finally chose SPCC as she has a younger brother. She does very well at SPCC and still her little brother didn't get an offer. So all is about the applicant himself, not necessarily be the influence of his siblings.

I know this sounds naive but just to give the school the benefit of the doubt, perhaps the rejected sibling really wasn't a good fit for that school and while his brother/sister may thrive in that particular educational environment, he/she may be suited to something completely different.

Regardless, I think most parents would find it hard to reject a good/highly coveted school place because a spot wasn't offered to the sibling.

Yes. Select and being selected, it is fair enough.

A balance of probabilities might be more reasonable as we are not criminalizing the culprit here...hehe

Anyone else got the interview result this week? Haven't received it yet.

作者: tammyee 時間: 13-3-13 17:07 標題: 回覆：CDNIS results

We got the reject letter today.

作者: jollybean 時間: 13-3-13 22:23 標題: 回覆：tammyee 的帖子

Sorry to hear that! Were you applying for reception or pre reception? What's your plan for your kid? Sorry to ask so many questions!

作者: tammyee 時間: 13-3-13 22:31 標題: 回覆：CDNIS results

We applied for reception. The result is expected but i just hoped for miracle! My girl will stay in her current kindie to continue k2 and look for primary schools 2 years later.

作者: jollybean 時間: 13-3-13 22:57 標題: 回覆：tammyee 的帖子

Thanks Tammyee and good luck!!

作者: jolalee 時間: 13-3-14 02:54

My son is also rejected, but given it is pre-reception with only 40 spots, mainly given to the staffs' kids, we'll try again next year. Heard that without Cdn passport they wouldn't give you an interview even! (too many applications).

Quite happy with the Montessori school he's currently attending though so it's good i get to keep him there for another year, but hopefully not for too long since it does not have primary affiliations...

Seem like CDNIS sent out the rejection letter first. It could be a good news for those who haven't receive letter.

I received wait list. Actually I applied for Pre reception and not waiting lost as well. Unfortunately I did not get a response forbade entire year and this year waiting list again. I really have no hope. It seems like unless we have siblings, connection or lots of money to donate like hacken lee's or nicholas tse's son, the chance to get in is very slim.

作者: Mom2One 時間: 13-3-15 17:00

Hacken Lee and Nicholas Tse donated lots of money to CDNIS??

作者: gobgo 時間: 13-3-15 17:12

I doubt it.

作者: miumiu1 時間: 13-3-15 21:42

It seems that CDNIS has become a school for celebrity kids. I saw another famous actor with his kid at the interview session just last month.

It's not a secret, everyone knows that.

Anyone received preparatory 2013/14 result?

Not necessarily but it is true that it is even harder for HK Chinese to get in. A current CDNIS parent told me that the primary principal has indicated that the policy is to intake more western students. In lower primary the ratio of HK Chinese has dropped to roughly 30% compared to 50% in upper primary. Unless you have a Canadian passport, there is a high chance for the ones on the wait list to remain on the wait list. Chances to get in at secondary will be higher though as students will start going overseas.
