After receiving the application forms, schools will assign waiting numbers to the applicants. Around October each year, “Notifications of Waiting Parents for Interviews” are sent out. Each school schedules interviews according to the number of places available in the following academic year and in the order of the waiting numbers. In other words, it is not guaranteed that schools will be able to arrange meetings with all the children and parents on the waiting list. Applicants who do not receive an interview invitation will automatically be reinstated on the waiting list. However, schools send out reply forms every year to confirm whether applicants on the waiting list still wish to continue waiting for a place. If parents still wish to remain on the list, they should return the reply forms on time to indicate their continued interest; otherwise, their application information will be deleted. If there are still available places after the “Unified Registration Date,” schools will allocate them in the order of those on the reserve list. Parent-teacher meetings for new students are usually held in July or August, during which the “Admission Rules” and the school curriculum are introduced; parents are also informed about the school’s arrangements to help new students adapt, as well as the requirements and procedures for applying for financial assistance. These meetings provide an opportunity to answer parents’ questions.
