Punahou Kinder Weight List

I would like to know if anyone knows the admission rate to Punahou Kinder if you are accepted as an alternate, and if so, please advise.

Does attending summer school increase the chances of getting in ?
Is there any order on the wait list ?

Thank you very much.

My son was also on the waiting list.
I have heard that it is advantageous to attend summer school. We don't participate in it, though.

I am planning to apply for a marriage based green card in the US.
I went to the SSN office today and applied for my social security card. I told them that I wanted to change my name to → First name+Middle name(maiden name)+Last name(husband's last name), but they told me that at this stage I cannot put my middle name, so I should come back with it to change it when my green card comes.
If I am due to receive my social security card in 2 weeks and then apply for my green card, if I put the social security number I got on the application form ( my new last name without my middle name ) and my green card without my middle name Is it possible that my green card will also be without my middle name?
If that is the case, I am thinking of saying no social security number on the form.

I didn't have a number when I applied for my green card because my SSN was made after I received my green card.
Same thing, I got it by marriage. It may be different than already having one and not being able to get in, but in my case I had no SSN.

I had SSN card with Japanese name because I had SSN before marriage and I kept my SSN and applied for green card with
Japanese surname ( maiden name ) in my middle name and received green card with First Name+Middle name[(maiden name +Last name(My husband's surname ))
I received my Green Card !
After that, when I ADD my name to my husband's bank account, I changed my SSN name to the same as my Green Card, but it was easy to change.

I was told how to get a criminal history certificate at the Japanese consulate.
It was a long time ago and I don't remember which department, but I think they can tell you if you inquire.
I remember that when I ordered it, I was told that it could take up to 2 months if it was busy.

You can apply from Hawaii, but if you are entering the country as a tourist, you may be in trouble if your reason for entering the country is false.
I have heard that military personnel can get a VISA through the military earlier than usual, so I can't say for sure, but if you expect to wait more than 6 months between the time you apply and the time you get your VISA, you don't have to wait until January. ☺ By the way, I applied for a 10 year green card right after I got married because of the Corona disaster, but it took me 2 years to get it, so I got a 10 year green card from the beginning.

Kan, it depends on the immigration officer who does it. Sometimes they issue a conditional one because it's still less than 2 years old administratively on the date you apply, and sometimes they issue a 10 year one because
okay, fine. So saying it will take a long time to get it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a 10-year one. This is all luck.

Kapolei pet hospital in Kapolei has a Japanese vet.
I think there are some in the Waikiki area, but the only one I know of is in Kapolei.
I don't know what a reasonable price is, so I can't answer your question.
We are in a care club at VCA, so vaccinations and such are free
I don't know what the market price is. I don't know what it costs.

Can I pay the HOA Fee with a BILT credit card ??

I live in Hawaii.

I can now pay my rentals with my BILT credit card

What about HOAFee ?

I called BILT customer center Wells Fargo

I was told to check with my condo association. condo association.

I checked and received a vague reply Not Familier.

I would like to know if anyone in Hawaii is paying HOAFee with a BILT credit card.

Please do.

I joined BILT with a regular Rent payment, but I will record it for future reference.

Payment is via a platform called Appfolio.
The payment is made via ACH because it is not BILT Alliance.
When I entered my account information in Appfolio, I entered my First Name, Last Name as Account Holder and Checking as Account Type as Personal Account.
By the way, when I asked this question in BILT chat, I got a reply in seconds. I was surprised at the speed and accuracy of the reply.
Since I activated BiltProtect, I think it is treated as a Debit payment and will be deducted directly from my bank account.

And I just received a notice from both Appfolio and BILT that the payment has been processed. I was nervous because it was my first payment with BILT, but it looks like it went through.
Appfolio has recently started taking the ACH fee ($ 2.49€), which was not covered by the BILT fee waiver, but was charged here.

Minimum use of BILT ( 5 times ) but I will digest 4 times, excluding Rent payments, in small amounts for me ( because I have other main cards ).
For example, Amazon gift card charge can be done from $1 per transaction ( It seems to start from $5 if you schedule it ) .
If I can't make very small purchases, I'll charge them to Amazon while I digest the frequency.

There seems to have been an information leak at Wells Fargo, the card issuer, around last year, but it seems to be under control now.
Just to be safe, I have set up my Wells Fargo online account so that I will be contacted when I go online or $ spend more than 10.

I will figure out how to use the points now.
Will I transfer them to airline frequent flyer miles, and if so, which company, or use them as BILT points for travel? etc. etc. etc.
Not very efficient, but they can also be used for Amazon purchases ( Not very efficient since the redemption rate is 0.7%, i.e. 1000 points are worth $7 ).

So I will use it patiently.

I have completed all the procedures and debit (credit card and HOA )), so I will give you the updated information.

I did not want to open a new bank account, so I was able to debit the BILT payment from my bank account in Hawaii.
I also made various payments with BILT and received triple points ( $ for eating and drinking ) 300 points for 100 .
After a few years, I was hoping that the mileage would accumulate a little faster as I accumulated them.

Also, referrals seem to give quite a few points to both parties.
If anyone wants to be referred

Dear Akamai

Thanks for the update information.
Thanks to your help, I have received my card and have successfully completed the first HOA charge to my BILT credit card in April and have confirmed that the points were awarded !

You mentioned that your BILT payment was debited from your bank account in Hawaii, and that you have set up your BILT I assume you mean that you have your credit card bill automatically deducted from your bank through your credit card Wells Fargo account settings ?
I paid my April credit card bill manually from my BILT account page. I made the payment.
I have various other credit cards, but none of them are set up to "pay by automatic debit from a linked bank account" at all.
I always check the billing details of my credit cards because it would complicate the DISPUTE procedure if my credit cards were automatically debited in the event of an incorrect charge.

I also confirmed that food and beverage is triple points !
Also, on April 1, retail purchases were double points.
The first of every month is Rent Day, which seems to double points for certain categories.
https://www.biltrewards.com/rewards/rent-day/offer/earn-double-points
Food and Beverage is 6x
Travel is 4x
Others are 2x

Today, I also found an interesting blog post about BILT Rewards Elite Status that I will share.
https://onemileatatime.com/guides/bilt-elite-status/

Thank you for also sharing the useful information about referral bonus points.
I signed up as soon as I saw Akamai's post here ( Thank you ) , I had already received my card when Akamai posted about the referral ^ ^
I'm glad we both got points if we had waited a little longer ^ ^ ;

Hi ! Thanks for the Feedback too.

I don't have automatic debit for card payments either.

Immediately after registration, my Hawaii bank was not reflected, but a few weeks later my Hawaii bank was reflected, so

I chose my Hawaii bank and debited my BILT credit card payment manually.

If the 1st of every month is the day you get more than double points, it would be a good day to buy something on the 1st !

Thanks for sharing.

My HOA company automatically deducts money from my BILT because they don't charge me a fee by doing an automatic deduction.

It's mutually beneficial for both renters and homeowners to make referrals because the person making the referral is happy to do so.

And the referral code doesn't have your name, just a number and an English code, so you can refer without knowing each other's real names.

Dear Akamai

Thank you for your reply.
You mean automatic debit of the HOA, not automatic debit of the credit card payment.
Of course, I have also set up the HOA as a SurePay auto debit using the BILT routing number and account number, and the amount debited is reflected on the BILT credit card bill. As you pointed out, I am not charged any fees this way either.

You will find the contact information when you turn on your TV.

If you have not renewed, you will receive an email.

channeljusa@outlook.com

This is your contact information.

We will post on the TV screen that we are no longer Channel J Hawaii as we did not renew our
contract with Channel J Hawaii at the end of September or October last year
If we start a new business in the future, we will post the information here.

This is what was uploaded.

Then, around the end of October, I asked Channel J USA how to renew my account,
and received an email saying that the payment Home Page was not completed and that I should renew my account
.

I have a contract with another company, so all I know now is my email address
. The email address should be on the TV screen.

Sankaku Connection.

The company is headquartered in CA and has the same number of channels as Channel J.
There is a 2 week trial period.

Prices are about the same.

The reason they have the same number of channels is because they purchase from the same distributor.

Well, if I write too much detail, people will say it's illegal again, so
I'll leave it at that.

Hello.
I have a question about something I don't understand about MCS admissions, which is often discussed here.

I have appplied for my daughter, who will be 3 in November, for admission for the 2024 school year.
I recently received an email stating that I could invite her to enroll for the 2024-2025 school year and was invited to an open house in April. ( School Tour ?
Does this mean that I am guaranteed admission ? or is everyone who is on the waiting list receiving this email ?
I would like to know if anyone knows how this will go from here. Thank you in advance.

We received our results too, but no...

Like Pinky Ring, I knew it would be difficult to get in, but I couldn't give up my faint hope ! and was
shocked ! I put it on my waitlist right away, but
it looks difficult !

Congratulations on your acceptance letter, Sacchi ! Do you have any secrets for getting through the difficult entrance process ? Did you send your child to a school or something ?

? My child has received acceptance letters from Central Union and Hongwanji, and I am not sure which one to choose. I was wondering if Hongwanji is the better choice considering the Kinder exam.
I am so jealous of your MCS acceptance !

Nice to meet you !
My son also took the test at 3 years old, but the result was disappointing …
He also took the test at 2 years old, but he didn't get in as well and put his name in the wait pool, but it didn't come around.
I took the test this year ! with the hope that I would get in this year, but the result was still disappointing. …
Since the wait pool is almost never offered at popular schools,
I am already wondering how to get in and am switching my mind to the 4-year-old slot
for the next year.
If your email is an acceptance letter, that's great
Congratulations on passing the difficult test !!

I also applied with faint hopes as well,
I did not send my child to any school. ( The applique itself was only a form to be filled out by an adult, in which the adult had to write a statement about his/her thoughts and interest in Montessori and the child's education, and there was no kind of exam for the child himself/herself to do anything... ? !
Honganji is also very popular I often hear that it is very good for kinder exams.

Stand by me

Nice to meet you ! I was looking at MCS for my 2 year old son to take the 3 year old class next year !
If anyone knows, I would like to know if MCS and other difficult schools like Hana Hau'oli have Elementary through 6th grade ? The other puglik elementary schools have elementary through 5th grade ?

So I see that MCS publishes where their graduates go to school, and it seems that there are only 6 to 11 elementary students each year
I guess that means there are only 6 students per class or 11 at the most. Does that mean there are no students?
I wonder if it is difficult to make friends in Elementary if there are too few.
If you know the situation, please let me know.

Mr. FREEMAN
Nice to meet you ! I have two children attending MCS, my oldest daughter took Punahou two years ago at G5 (5th grade ) and my oldest son is now attending MCS at G5.
My oldest son is also at Punahou starting in August.
To answer your question, MCS is up to G6 ( 6th grade ) as you mentioned. Therefore, the results that MCS publishes are the results of the children who have remained in G6.
MCS has one elementary class per grade, with roughly 20 to 22 students.
In fact, more than half of the children take Punahou or Iolani at G5, and less than half of the children stay on to G6 each year.
This year, 14 of my classmates who took the G5 exam, including my oldest son, were accepted to Punahou.
Of the 14 who were accepted to Punahou, 9 will go to Punahou and 5 to Iolani.

Most of my classmates who stayed until G6 also went to Punahou and Iolani, so as a result, most of the kids I grew up with at MCS Elementary will be reunited at Punahou and Iolani

My oldest daughter had 20 classmates in the same year, We have a situation with 17 in the Middle of Punahou.

Elementary is indeed one class, so it is a small group, but there are around 20 of us, and we are very bonded because we are together all the time.
The 7-10 students who go on to higher education are only those who remain until G6, and since they are almost all tested at G5, it is a small group.
Hana Hau'oli also has about 20 students per class and most of them go to Punahou, which is similar to MCS.
For your information !
