請問有冇人已收到st.paul boys'第二輪面試信

Oh, you're right, it's the orange colour not yellow.

no use means we can't have the bargin power to those who has the 2nd interview in next week.  St Paul Boys choose 300 to get in 2nd interview but only choose 150 from them.  The rest of them have the higher chance than us.

There are 3 P1 classes, each has 30 students. So they should choose 90 only, not 150.

Same as some of you, my letter is orange in colour and has a reply slip at the bottom, saying we can submit the slip in June 2009 if we want to be reconsidered for 2nd interview.

How did u know is 300 applicants for 2nd interview. There is no briefing for the school, and I don't realise there is anywhere in the internet stating this no.?

You may refer to it's homepage. It is mentioned that about 300 candidates will be invited for 2nd interview in Oct or Nov.

Aaccording to my understanding. 300 is the no. of say, HKUGA and Yingwa. St Paul boys's info is not so publicly disclosed.

The website really show up there will have 300 candidates to get in 2nd interview.  :D

I got the letter on 16th am.  It's the self addressed envelope.

Last year, they had at least 2 sets of waiting lists.
When students don't turn up to the registration, they will call up other students from the 1st waiting list to fill the post.
Then in June / July, when more students drop out, they will then call up yet more students from the 2nd waiting list to fill up the post.
I guess those who failed in the 2nd interview this year will be put on the 1st waiting list, & those who received that yellow sheet will be put on the 2nd waiting list.
So if you are very keen on this school, keep reminding them that you are keen & are still waiting.
Don't despair as many students do drop out in the end.
Even though the 1st waiting list was already long (>100), several boys from the 2nd waiting list did manage to get in last year.
Someone even got in 1 week after school already started!

Rejected! HA! HA!  Don't worry!  Steven 819 Hope your son can be the last 150. Good Luck.

I believe those selected for 2nd-in who perform bad may not be incldued the 1st waiting list. Then 2nd waiting list applicants may have a chance then.

If you look at the back of the slip they attached to your application fee official receipt, it's clearly stated that 300 candidates will be shortlised to the second round (not only the web site). The school is surprisingly efficient. Just one day after I've received the second interview letter, I browsed here and found that the school has already issued letters with different status. If there's any postal delay in my case, I  must be scared to death. All parents playing this game must possess very high EQ and patience. Chances are always there if you love the school. Don't give up but don't think too  much. That may affect your mood so as your kid.

potatoiris

anyone still not receive today? would that means not even quallifed for 'rejected'....:;pppp: :;pppp:

hogwarts

Could the delay be due to the self-address envelope?  If I were in the same shoes, I would give the school a call on Monday.

potatoiris

Yes would check next Mon though not really looking forward to it already....(打定輸數!!!)

good luck for the other who can accept for 2nd in laaa

Dear Parents,
Don't give up trying.  My boy received the 2nd batch waiting list letter last year.  He is born in November and not welcomed by the traditional famous schools.  I applied 8 schools for him last year and was rejected by Ying Wah, SPCC & DBS but got into waiting list for GT, SPC boys, HKUGA, PLK CKY, Logos Academy.  No school accepted him and I felt very anxious and disappointed at that time.  I sent the reply slip in June this year, together with a letter expressing my strong desire to let my son studying in the school and a few certificates that he had achieved after the interview.  And he was finally accepted by the school. Out of my surprise, he has also been selected to join the school choir, represented the school to participate in the recital competition.  So, don't give up and keep on trying.
By the way, I would also like to congratulate the kids that have entered the 2nd interview.  The performance ( besides academic performance) of my son's classmates are really impressive.  For instance, the entry requirement of the swimming gala  for P1 is to swim 50m within 55 seconds.  Only 1 out of 30 students in the class cannot play a musical instrument.  My son said one of the classmates plays the piano as good as those he heard from the CDs.  I am not sure about the performance of their secondary school but I am sure the school has selected a group of high quality students in the primary section.
Good luck to all of you and your kids!

I rec'd advice letter for 2nd interview letter on 10/16 when my older son interviewed on 10/6. Our 2nd interview will be 10/29. My son got "gold metal" sticker(yellow) on 1st interview so we guessed at once he will get into 2nd interview.
cheers,
gusi
