mozartmom: A totally understand your feeling!!! I have the similar case. My kids got models and cert. + good leadership skill + very creative BUT... she can't get 2nd in as well. We are very disappointed!
I really doubt about their interview format. If as compare to St Paul Co-ed, I think SPCC got a more fair interview format.

from BK parents, it seems that there is only 9 working days for 2nd in, 2 Nov to 12 Nov, i guess the number for 2nd in should be less than 500. Just my guess.
Whether they can really get all good students from such interview format, only time can tell. Does anyone know how many F.5 graduates that got 10A or 9A etc. are DGS babies and not F.1 inserts?
DG trains students to be quite aggressive, sometimes don't even have true friendships, think about it yourself, do u want your child to be like that?
塞翁失馬, 嫣之非福!! Relax!
Keep getting your medals, if that's the medals they(DG) want, they will come to your school and ask u to join them!
Some parents reported that the last interview day is Nov 15. Let us do simple maths calculation here.
Last year 2nd interview candidate number = 500
Last year vacancies = 104
Candidate vs vancany ratio = 5:1
This year the number of vancancies are increased to 140. If the school keeps the same ratio this year, the numbers of 2nd interview candidate is 140 x 5 = 700
The rest of question is how many candidates can the headmistress interview in 12 days.
Assume each interview section takes 10 minutes for 2 candidates.
Assume headmistress works 6 hours just for the interview each day.
60 mins x 6 hours / 10 x 2 = 72 candidates
72 candidates x 12 days = 864 candidates.
The calculation revealed that the candidates who can get in the 2nd interview may be far more than what you expected.

But maybe she only works on the interview in the AM session? She might need to take care of school stuff in the afternoon. Why will they make all these hassles of having two interviews, but just to cut out half or a little bit more then half of the total applicants?
Anyone got interview time slot in the afternoon?

Some kids are good at interviews and some are not. Some smart kids are just bookworms and not good at interviews, whereas some street smart kids who don't know a single word is good at talking and expressing themselves. So no need to doubt your kid's ability, even if they can't get second interview at DGS.

Both DXX schools will recruit new students during P2 to F6 in order to achieve good HKCEE or HKAL results (while kick out those fair academic students & those sport / music medal winners...after they get all medals/ prize for schools but with fair academic result)
Snobbish!!!!

All calculations were just a estimation according to last year's pattern. If the headmistress wanted to trim down the 2nd interview numbers, she would did it last year. Especailly, there are 35 more vancanies this year. I guess she will keep the pool big enough for her selection process.

This is another way to admit that their P1 selection process is not effective!

Did anyone attend 2nd interview so far? Could anyone share how long it took? Was it a long waiting time? Were you allowed to enter the school early or only 10mins before the specified time as the letter mentioned?
Appreciate if anyone could share the experience. Thanks
