Chance of Admission by 2013-14 Record

jolalee

I took the liberty of setting the info on this link into a chart format for easy reference.
http://www.itseducation.asia/sch ... ools%20Explorer.pdf

This is just generic information and note that there are too many factors including Sibling/Citizenship/NR/Corporate Debenture that may influence each students' chance of getting in. I've noted the extreme determining factors only. Notice also that some info on this link which i had corrected (ie. CDNIS admission spot for each grade) and some that are fishy but I have no idea what the real numbers are (ie. VSA's number of spots & number of applicants). Do feel free to pitch in if you have the accurate information, or correct admission data from another school of interest not listed here, so that all new parents applying may benefit from the chart. Many thanks in advance :)

I see! Some of the info on this Iink is incorrect. That's why I recified the CDNIS info and is still looking for those in the know re VSA's situation. CIS doesn't interview all applicants; none of the IS do. They all scan the applications first, but I am sure CIS interview applicants without priorities, just that usually they end up on the waiting list :(

Hi Jolalee, I m just referring to the link you provided. It says only interviewed who had priority on CIS colume.

I'm not a CIS parent but know quite a few. I'm told that the 1 year compulsory study in Hangzhou has turned some parents away.

What type of priority? My friends who got interviews definitely have no teaching, sibling, alumni, debenture or know the principal etc. type of priorities.

hm, what are the criteria of getting an interview in CIS? Quite a few of my friends got the interview last year (most of them ends up on the waiting list unfortunately).

Thankd for the chartz， it is very useful. For CIS, I m sure if parent have no priority would not apply this year if the criteria of getting a interview is same as last year.
