Having read so many comments about the admission system of DBSPD,  I think it's time I should share some of my practical experience on applying for a place in DBSPD.

Like all other parents, my husband and I did make a lot of efforts to prepare our kid for the interviews of primary school admission held last year.  Since we had no any connection with DBS or DPS and the fact that my husband was not a DBS/DPS old boy, we had the same scepticism about the fairness of the admission system and tended to believe that only connection with the school management or old boys would help.  However, we thought that enhancing our kid's capabilities and overall competitiveness were the only right things that we could do and should do.

Out of our expectation, my kid was luckily offered a seat in DBSPD for the coming school year. There were ten odd other students in my kid's kindergarten had the same luck.  Amongst them, most of their parents whom I know were in a quite similar circumstances as I, namely they had no connection with the school management nor DBS/DPS old boy. On the other hand, an extremely rich parent whom I know swore to get a place in DBSPD by whatever means, but was eventually disappointed.

Although I am not in a position to say that the admission system of DBSPD is 100% fair since what I know and what I have experienced in the whole admission process are still limited, things that happened around me suggest to me that the system is at least not so unfair as so many people sceptical about.

I understand that it is not persuasive for a parent whose kid is accepted by DBSPD to make favourable comments for the school.  But I have to reiterate that all information I give above were true to the best of my knowledge. I hope other parents who have similar practical experience as mine can share theirs here.

I think you should trust your son whose success may be due to his own capability; instead of your connection with the school as what you believe to be.
