My girl is now in SPCCPS P3. We are not related, no religion and went to a "hea" kindergarten with no real extra curricular activities.  We did not even submit portfolio at the time of the application.  My girl still got in in the end so I think there is chance for everyone.  After undergoing the P1 selection process once, I truly believe that the school will select students who are suitable for their school.  So even if you do not get in, it is not a pity.  It is best to send your children to schools which are well suited to them.

Thanks CCJJ for your words of comfort!  You are very kind and may I know if your kid had got some certificates when applied for K1? May I know the character of your kid? Is your child gifted?  Sorry, just want to know if u don't mind. Thank you very much!

friendly reminder to BK users:

小心好多人系BK到 'wan'食, 敬請用智慧分辨消息來源!

there have been instances that people who 'seem to be parents' and share with you how their own 'children' are able to get into super xxxx famous schools.

Some will share with you their 'tips' on what they did to train their kids. And, eventually, they will tell you which exam, which company, what type of 'services' they used to 'increase their chance' to get into the super famous schools.

This include the interview training centre, extra curricular activities, etc.

Therefore, be aware of this type of soft selling, and be smart when you read the postings!

newmommy

sorry, one side note: please do not pm me about what I just posted about the 'pretend to be parents' but actually softselling in BK via pm or forum.

I posted it because I was reminded by other BK moms last yr and I thanked those moms who reminded me.

Just PLEASE make sure that when other BK 'moms' told you eventually which interview class helped their kids to go to super famous schools, REMEMBER: Those are POSSIBLY marketers, not real 'moms/ dads' !

To mamamummy, my girl is by no way gifted.  The only advantage she has is she was born in Jan.  She used to be a shy child and she is not aggressive at all.  She is my first child so at the time, I was a bit clueless about P1 applications and we did not do much.  We did not participate in any competitions nor did we take any interview class or additional classes in the academic subjects.  In fact when she applied for P1, she got rejected by all the schools except SPCCPS.

CMWmama

Hi CCJJ, but your kid must be something special -- rejected by all schools except SPCCPS. What do you think the reasons they chose you kid? I don't think "Born in Jan" is the only advantage. Do you mind to share your experience? Thanks a lot!
