RC難考嗎？

There are 200 kids who passed the interview but still being put on the waiting list right now, seems RC is not easy to enter nowadays ..

agree, and many locals have dual citizenship which makes the 70% is not really 70%

成日話多人申請就難考，但考學校並非計 probability 喎。例如，得 100 個位，500 人考，唔代表 500 個都均等機會。例如唔識講英文，根本唔會收。以國際學校計，其實我估有高至四份一人係未夠料就去考，（例如英文唔掂）。所以，唔好比申請人數嚇親。

This is true if the school interview all applicants, but in reality they don't have the time or resources to do that, so out of 800 applicants they might interview around 500, and how they choose the 500 out of 800 is where probability (i.e. luck) comes in. The way they do it is by assigning a random number to every application and then prioritize by that number, and if there are 2000 applicants instead of 800, then obviously the chances of being "chosen" for interview is spread thinner.

So what is the present arrangements at different ESF schools?
Who decides how many students they interview each year?
I think a couple of years back someone said one school did interview everyone.

For RC the present arrangement is the same as in previous years, i.e. assign a random number to each applicant, and if a child has no priority (sibling, alumni, ESF kindergarten etc) and is unlucky enough to get a bad number then he/she may not be invited to an interview.

In previous years I believe RC interviewed everyone who had priority, but I'm not so sure about those without. I wouldn't know exactly how many applicants they would interview each year either, but obviously there is a practical limit on the number. Having said that, the 2 ESF PIS (RC and DC) do interview more applicants compared to the ESF foundation schools, so the element of luck is relatively smaller.

雖然係選部分人 in，但隔離有個 topic 話，其實真係一直再叫 waiting list 去 in，畢竟可能有第一 round 的 fail interview，亦有 D 人可能有幾間 offer 。
間間都多人申請，但會唔會係同一批人？
話就話 800 個人申請 150 個位，但真係計，可能係 800 個人，申請 4 間共 500-600 個位，到最後，情形未必係咁差。

我自己本身傾向鍾意RC多啲！
唔係因為佢收咗我個女，而係我比較鍾意繁體字教學，學校設施完善，中小學一齊: ...

係呀！同埋RC 係好肯同家長溝通，好似教繁體字，最初佢地都係教簡體架，後來大部份家長都反影學繁體既好處，於是佢地後來改教繁體！
