i think good chance for the waiting list, as this school is private school, i.e. candidate still go for govt lucky draw, good luck
Athough SSCPS is a private school, registered kids cannot join the lucky draw. They are required to sign a letter for that.
Correct. Seats at SSCPS will be only given up by those have other better choice in DSS/private schools. They are likely not to tell SSCPS they give up until P1 starts school in 2010. I was not referring to luck Draw as after regististration with SSCPs, you cannot have lucky draw anyway.
But it is quite common that kids do not just have one DSS/private schools accepted so far or next 1-2 months. (as far as I know from my kids' classmates)
Problem now is quite a number of seats are on the same group of kids, unless parents make up the mind now with one school and then notice other schools they give up the seats. Otherwise the seats will be locked up until next June/July only.
One possible solution I can think of is DSS/private schools can refund part of the registration fee parents paid so far if parents can notice school about giving up places, say by end of January. (incentive to parent to report to school ASAP!)

cmchang0927,
May I know if you got a reject letter or waiting letter?
Waiting list letter rec'd. The waiting list is too long for any parent to assess heir chance.
There is minimal chance that parents registered with SSCPS and later also registered with other seem-to-be-better DSS to give up SSCPS before 6/10, because they have already paid for the high registration fees and not 豁達 enough to give chances to other waiting parents.
How long is the waiting list? I guess may be have 100 people or more? As there is no harm for them to send the waiting list as they said the waiting list letter is valid until Oct 2010
