People would often believe in what we WANT to believe. Often the number of applicants per school gets blown out of proportion, as we all buy into the fear factor. This includes a huge application number, since:
a) If my child gets in, it means she beats thousands of people to get that spot
b) If my child do not get in, that is only because there are thousands of people fighting for the same spot.
Yesterday i was at the CIS parent's seminar (the one every family need to attend in order to apply). The principal clearly stated that there are 88 Reception spots (as we all know) each year, then she followed with "if history repeats itself, we know there will be as many applicants as last year, which is about 800". Cross my heart, this was what i heard yesterday. I thought in my heart, "That's it? 800 is not too bad". If one of the most sought after IS has an application that numbers only 800, then 600 applicants for ISF is believable. I am not siding with anyone. Just so happened i heard this statement yesterday, so I'm sharing with you the info i came across. |
