Hi all,
My child is now studying in K2 in Victoria Kintergarden. We've obtained an offer from CAIS for preparatory for the year 2021-2022. However, we would like to pursue for VSA for their 2022-2023 year and the results for the VSA interview will be announced on May 2021. The interview results for VSA would be
1) acceptance
2) waitlist
3) decline
As there is only a 1/4 chance of my child getting into VSA(25% chance are advised by VSA teachers), it would be likely that my child would be offered a waitlist. If that happens, I would be caught in a dillema:
1) Forfeit the CAIS spot for 2021-2022 and attend VEO K3 and stay in the waitlist spot until there is a spot, and who knows, there might not be a spot for my child and I will need to find an alternative school. Losing both CAIS and VSA offer or obtained the VSA offer in the end.
2) Accept the CAIS spot for 2021-2022 which means I gave up the VSA waitlist as VSA has confirmed with me that the waitlist spot will be cancelled automatically if I don't stay in VEO for K3.
I am very struggled in which route I shall pick. Can anyone who has these past experience give me some advise. Thanks alot in advance!

有冇外國PASSPORT?如果有K3再報CAIS或其他IS都仲得,非常TOP個D就另計......
另外會唔會考直資或傳統名校?

If vsa dont have offer then I will have to go for other IS, direct subsidy or local school which is not the preference.

Tough decision, seems you still need to accept offer CAIS first because you are not sure if you are getting decline or waitlist till May21? Do you need to pay debentures for CAIS before May?
Btw if you get VSA waitlist, and if it’s your top preference, I think you should stay in VSA and apply other schools with entry at 6yo as backup, eg ISF y1, CAIS Y1, FIS Y1. Although the chance is lower than mass intake yr at 5 yo, it’s still pretty high since you got foreign passport.

VSA好似唔覺有人收decline, 全部無offer都收waiting, 咁仲煩，更加難知道機會大定細

Since your top preference is VSA and you hv a passport, I think
1. Keep vic k3 and see if you hv a chance to get into vsa
2. In case no offer from vsa, by his k3, reapply cais again and it still high chance to get an offer
3. At his k3 also apply other IS and with a passport I’m sure it’s not hard to get an IS offer like fis, nais etc
Good luck

I will stay in K3 n increase the chance to get into VSAIf foreign passport, the chance of get into other IS is not limited.
Relatively VSA is more outstanding than CAIS in terms of UNI placement and the IB results are more guaranteed

If I were you, I will ask myself if I am ready to face the worse scenario that is no offer from VSA and CAIS’ offer has already been declined (becoz u decided to stay in vic k3).
If i have other available options that have been confirmed and i think they are worth going even if i dont have vsa or cais, then I would risk. Otherwise, i wont.
Given that u already got an offer from CAIS, would you consider asking the admissions if its possible to also apply for CAIS’ school year 2022-23 and see if u can also get that offer.

Yes you are right, you won't know whether you will get an offer until the very last minute, parents won't release their offers until they are asked to pay the first tuition instalment, even when they have secured other offers and are pretty sure they won't start school at vsa.
And regarding the 25% chance of getting into VSA, it only applies to some campuses, for other campuses, it is below 20%.

Even with a foreign passport, the chance of getting a place in many IS (participating some popular ones) will be slim, since you have missed the year of mass intake for most schools. If you pass the interview, you are after vacant spots by leavers. It’s a bet. If you like VSA so much that you finally decided to stay at Vic Kindie, you need to have a backup plan for schools that have vacancies for K3 graduates, eg SIS, or you may want to look into some new IS.

If I were in the same position I will take CAIS’ offer first, wait to see if VsA gives an offer in summer, if no offer, then go to CAIS and apply again for a p.2 place at VSA further down the road. The school search process for p1 can be nerve wrecking if your kid is put on VSA waitlist

Take CAIS and see if you get VSA offer before new school year, if not then go to CAIS.
如果俾人當後備, 就無謂無了期咁等。take 咗CAIS 嘅同時可再報其他學校。真係咁心儀嘅，第時再報vsa year 2都得啦
如果唔係step up 又唔係sibling，機會唔知有冇1/4呢。

某d分校可能會有多d學生考到，可能同debenture holder有關，畢竟某d campus的家長會為左入到VSA而買debenture去secure學位，而另一d campus的家長就未必會。
另外，每間學校的入VSA的比例同真正收到OFFER係會有分別，無論係一開始已收到OFFER或者WAITING收到的，都會有一定人數最終會揀左其他學校，而vic提供的資料只係最終入小學的數據，而唔係收到offer與否，所以收offer的數字上實際係會高d。
黎緊Vic只有priority入VSA，而唔係只有Vic graduate先可以報考VSA（debenture holder除外），應該會對收生好大影響，大家可能更加要諗清楚。
