Talking about DBS interview, I think that they had a target group of candidates. They included 1. alumni/connected, 2. super-rich people who might donate tons of money (I know it because my friend suggested me not to apply for DBS unless I could buy its bonds or something. His boss donated tons of money to the school.), 3. privileged class, 4. applicants from famous kindergarten, and 5. candidates who could demonstrate very exceptionally talents like the Olympics game players or talking like a president. For points 4 & 5, DBS would only take a look at very limited number of boys. The rest, like most of us, were just there to 陪跑. A relative of mine has son & daughter go to DBSPD & DGJS resp., but they applied when there were not so many applicants like nowadays. However, in interview like this, DBS would surely miss out some talent like Steve Jobs, who was treated like an orphan when he was small. This kind of talent might contribute back to school tremendously in terms of reputation & donation in the long run. But would the admission officers care about the long run? Of course not; they cared how much you could contribute at the spot.
I have these insights not due to sour grape since this is only my 2nd choice compared to YW, which treats parents & applicants w/more respect. My son is good at both academic & manners because I have nurtured him full-time since he was born. My husband & I are U-grad. Since we have only one breadwinner, we send my son to a gov't sponsored non-famous kinder. Supposed my son would have an Eng. interview at DBS, but they spoke Cantonese to him. Also, they just asked him 1 very short question. Unless they had God's eyes, otherwise, how could they see the boys? So they had a target group of candidates in mind.
