Yes, my friend's daughter was successful for admission for P1(2008), she got interview after she failed in the lucky draw. Her daughter performed pretty well at the interview, besides, she got a referral from 'Father', not sure if it's the key point for her success.
Her mom send letter (in person) from the 1st round and keep on sending letters to the headmistress every month. She got notice during Aug to have a sit in test and interview and she noticed the result at the same day after all the test and interview.
