I strongly discourage those whose kids have no siblings in the Harker to apply for this school. If your kids have no siblings already in the Harker, the chance of your kids to be admitted is very slim, if not impossible. The destruction of your kids’ self-esteem and confidence because of failing to be admitted in the Harker will be disastrous, and will affect your kids’ future forever.Harker publicly declares that they DO have policy to have higher priority to enroll the kids who have sibling already in the Harker. There are only a few openings every year, and there are more applicants whose siblings are already in the Harker. Therefore, if your kids have no sibling in the Harker, it is extremely difficult for your kids to be admitted, no matter how excellent your kids are. My kid has several classmates and friends who have siblings in the Harker. They are not as excellent as my kid, and they never work hard for the entrance tests. But they told my kid that they don’t need study hard and they could go to the Harker whenever they wanted to go. Although a top student, my kid has much less chance to be admitted. Frustrated, my kid no longer studies hard as before, and spends more time in TV and computer games, saying “It’s useless to study hard. I don’t need work hard since you’re rich!”. We always educate our kids to study hard to be successful in the future. But now my kid doesnt believe me anymore.If your kids have no sibling in the Harker and you want to send your kids to Harker, you need think twice. Not only will it waste your time, energy and money to prepare for their tests, more destructively it will ruin your kids’ future most likely.
