Let me tell my fd. But they aim for G7 so last time was told very full. May be lots from changing from local schools. May be they should reconsider if more openings in G5 and G6. In fact similar case in Uk, it's a lot easier to get into prestige boarding school in early forms.

I would like to share my experiences per above statement.

My university had exchange program with Yale University.  Every year, some Yale's students would come to our university to teach English, in return, they would spend their times to learn Chinese ( written & spoken - mainly Mandarin ). One American told me that she envied our Chinese ( especially Cantonese ) as they have to spend more than 20 working hours to learn Chinese every week in order to catch up the lesson.  Unfortunately, she could not speak Cantonese because Cantonese is quite difficult to learn.
