emm...then I will reconsider....is it ok not to attend the briefing by the principal/teacher in charge but just tour the schools :?

the briefing will let you know what they are looking for, and u can gauge whether your kind will be keen on them .... lol

last mth a few top sec schools went to my ds' school for representation/briefing..so just wonder is it the same talk that they will be giving during their open house. :?

usually at open house, you get more detailed info, less of a time constraint on the host (principal, teachers etc )...and get to talk to some of the students to understand more what their school life was like

last year talked to some who got in via DSA sports .... their comment on their academic work are very different from those who got in via DSA academic or S1 posting

hey wonderm, mine's not hearsay. It was my son's experience from last year.

Thanks for the update. I do not doubt your boy's experience at all. Similarly, I hear this from friends whose sons went for the interviews and there is no reason to doubt them too. I guess it only means HCI does not conduct interviews in the same format for all students.

Correct, there're different formats. My son was interviewed by a teacher an a student. The interview was started in English at first then switched to Chinese. The student right before my son from the same interview room was interviewed in English.
