You should go and seek for another school immediately.
Consider yourself extremely lucky if you get an offer later.

That could be the case a few years back but definitely not now.

Why not?  Im still thinking those dual applicants of RC & SJS will choose the SJS offer.

For the situation in RC, I "heard" that there are:
1) straight in offer
2) second interview in coming Apr (mostly for the applicants who have sibblings in RC)
3) waiting list
4) reject

Therefore, pls prepare your kid for the worst scenario.

Radiomama,

You're probably right. My son, sadly speaking, is Case 2. It's quite stressful as we know if he can't make it this time, he might have to wait a year.

My son is a bit "immature". He whined before/during interview (for 10 minutes at least) so I wasn't that surprised with the result. (I couldn't take a leave that day and my husband brought him there. ohhhhhh..... ) Anyway, we will try our best to help him get through the interview in April.

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Do you mean you got an offer from RC but waiting for an formal offer from SJS because your offer is waitlisted one?

When I went to interview for the waitlisted offer in late January, I asked the principal the same question.  To my understanding, the waitlisted interview only lasted for a few days (26 January should be the last day) and vacancies would be available for waitlisted applicants who passed the interview after receipt of confirmation from 1st round offer on 18 February (I assumed the waiting list is not so long at the moment).    But I also noted from other forum that the order of this waiting list has not yet been fixed.  The successful applicants for waitlisted offer still needed to wait for several rounds.

I am really confused. The staff of SJS also could not tell at the moment.

Just receiving RC's reminding email, the principal said -

We understand that you may have alternative choices and might decline our offer. Should it be the case, kindly could you please reply to this email and indicate your refusal. There are nearly 100 lovely kids who are currently on the wait list for places.  Your timely reply will be highly appreciated by us as well as those parents.

I will probably decline the offer as I will take DC at the moment while pending SJS.

It really hard to tell for RC, it really depends on your position on the waitng list.  But I guess the chance of getting SJS's offer is higher.

But the Principal told me that RC will has a higher chance than SJS.  I will be very happy if I can get a SJS offer finally.

Perhaps I have misunderstood you.  I don't know which one has a higher chance but to get an offer in RC is not easy nowadays, given the growing demand of IS places, particularly in the New Terrritories.

Anyway, good luck to you.

Don't worry. I've declined the offer by e-mail today.

Dear YuenShirley,

Congratulations that you can have a better offer.  Hope all perants who are not going to take the offer will reply the email asap.  :)

What's your contingency plan?  
You may ask the college how many offers you have to waiting for?
