Dear Thomas

My son will attend interview but will not join even accepted.

thomasha

You mean you are not willing to give your chance to other parents who like the school?  The school may need to spend time sending you a letter of offer or refusal, you will have to spend time declining the offer (if any), other parents have to wait longer for a place....etc etc.

I respect your decision, though if you can be kind enough to consider the above it will certainly be beneficial to many others, just because of an alternative decision.

Hi Thomas,

Please save your time to help those who need. It'll take/waste too much your time to educate a grown-up adult.

Hope Smartman can honestly exchange his/her viewpoints with YW's Headmistress during the final interview. (Maybe this hope is even more naive than asking him/her to give the chance to others.)

According to the practice of the school so far (from admission seminar to 2nd interview notification), they usually give sufficient notice to parents to accommodate their procedures.  As the shortlist ...

Hi, Thomas,

I however noted from the note announcing the 2nd interview list that the 2nd interview will start from early November?

thomasha

Actually the ideal solution is probably (1) he attends the interview with his son; (2) he tells Principal Lam about these comments and that he will definitely decline any offer so that Principal Lam needs not reserve a place for his son.  Win-win for every party.

I don't mean to educate anyone, but if my effort has an effect, it will probably benefit someone and I don't mind trying, even though it might end up fruitless at the end.

I'm sorry, you are right.  It should be from early Nov.

In that case, we will have to check the web site at least once a day from now on.  I was told (without 100% certainty) that the sequence will be the same as the date of app form submission, so early 1st interviewees may be interviewed earlier.

Hi Thomas,

Maybe my previous comment was not explicit enough.

To make it short, please don't take a stranger's comment too seriously especially in the cyber world as we have not authenticated each other's identity and are not sure the ultimate purpose of a certain comment.

Cheers.

Everyone is a stranger here as far as authentication of identity is concerned.   Even if a stranger may be playing games here, I still think it is worthwhile responding even if there is only a slim chance of doing some good.  This is my philosophy of life.  It might sound silly, but spending a few minutes of my spare time to type something to someone is ok.  There is not much I can help anyway - my knowledge is quite limited. :)

Don't worry, I know what I am doing.

Out of curiosity I have matched the numbers of the 2nd in list to the numbers on the 1st in (with Principal one), there are some numbers on the 1st in one which supposingly (only my guess) are the related applicants (those specifically have a Saturday 11/9 interview date with the Principal) not having a 2nd interview.

Does that means that not all the related one got a chance of 2nd in?

thomasha

Thank you for your concern.

If any user uses other log-in names, all we can do is to ignore him/her.  Besides, it's not always easy to tell whether an ID is the same person as another.  We can only use common sense.

I don't want to spend my time identifying these people or speculating.  I just do what my conscience tells me.

Hi Thomasha,
I think the claimed 'smart' guy is still observing, or may use another log-in name in this thread or other threads
All BK Parents, be aware.

The 2nd interview time table are on the website now.

thanks!

From the schedule of 2nd interviews for the 342 finalists, I have the following observations:

• The interview period will last from Nov 8 to Jan 25.
• It doesn't follow the "first-come-first-served" rule, i.e. early birds do not necessarily have earlier 2nd interviews.
• Each interview session will last for 30 mins.
• 2 kids (or families) are grouped in the same interview session

Anybody knows the logistics that could result b'cos of the last bullet point mentioned above?

Maybe like the 2nd round of 1st interview, each of 2 families has 15 minutes.
