I totally agree with you...
I suppose that GH really wants to select the suitable/ "best-matched" candidates and that's why they need to hold the 2nd interview. I also suppose that the 2nd interview will be handled by principal or supervisors, which means they take it very seriously....
For we, a group of parents, with 100% sincerity towards GH... I even practised the questionaire questions at home, I tried to see what I can write in 5 minutes by a stop watch....:) I read again and again the notes from the briefing session. ( I also wrote down "no" for extra curricular activites" as they mentioned in the briefing session)
Though I have not yet received letters and do not expect my daughter can get a 2nd interview opportunity, I hope that GH can improve its way in selecting 2nd interview students next year... offering opportunities to families/ girls with sincerity & matched characters/ philosophy
as the seats are arranged by numbers in turn, so we guess the teachers may try to remember your seat and then can recall the number (as the number has 4 figures?..) anyway.... :)
