The whole interview process is very stress to both parents and kids. But sometimes when I look back this whole year of preparation (such as going for different exams, attending different type of activities to enrich his profolio) I get to know my son's strenght and interest better and my kid has really grow up to face different challenges/experiences.
No matter what the result turn out to be...we are all winners and we all grow together.
I am with you on this. Am told it's the same last year (i.e. the earliest batch did surprisingly badly). Don't worry, this school is just not meant for you son. You can now focus on interviews for other schools.
Just want to share my own experience.
My boy is so lucky that he can enter the second round interview of YW. However, I just learnt that he failed to enter the second round of a DSS school in HK Island.
However, most of the ppl think that the competition of YW is more keen when comparing with the DSS school I mentioned.
So for those who cannot go into the second round interview of YW. Don't feel so sad. Maybe even a better school is waiting for your son!
