Hi all,


This is the info I got from the sch.

For ACSP, no ballot and has only places for SC children residing withinin 2km of the school for Phase 2B. Although 35 applicants for 32 vacancies because there's one set of quadruplets.

It's mean that 1 particular vacancy has 4 boys tagged to it instead of 1 vacancy 1 boy. That explain why 32 vacancies and have 35 boys successfully registered in Phase 2B. 31+1(+3) = 35

Hope this clear the confusion

I had thought the multiple-birth priority only kicks in when there is a balloting situation, and not automatically awarded. But I supposed in this case, the total number of families applying is 32, although there are 35 children involved. So even if there is a ballot, it is likely the parent with the quadruplets will opt to ballot with a single slip and not 4 slips. Hence no need to ballot since everyone is in, anyway. Lucky for the parents with the quadruplets. Unlucky for those in Phase 2C. Oh well.

Arg....chief, why unlucky for those in p2c? :?

So the 35 kids got in despite vacancies is 32. There is no change to the no. Of vacancies in p2c right ?

Also it is so amazing that for the past few years, acsp has just the right no in p2b :love:

From what I understand, those 3 places taken up by the quadruplets will come from the remaining vacancies that the school has. So there should be 3 less vacancies for Phase 2C. The only time I know of schools increasing their allotted vacancies is at the end of Phase 2C when similar multiple-birth situations occur.

Thanks for the explanation, chief.

Is the school allow to take from p2c just to accommodate an extra or two applicants?

I sincerely hope that's not gonna be the case.

tomorrow 2B balloting for Hong Wen school -

anyone know what time ?

[okie]

Wanted to ask, suppose u registered at school A day 1 phase 2c, but actually school B is your first preference. After monitoring school B thinking maybe there’s chance, u withdraw from A and hop over to B in early afternoon of day 3. At the last hour of day 3, realising in shock that no chance in B, can still go back to A to register again? Will A accept the application?

I can still remember the anxiety over p1 registration (twice some more) but we just went ahead with our one and only choice both times and pray and pray and pray till I think HE up there :frustrated:


All the best for tomorrow. :xedfingers:
