Hi,


Will like to seek some advice:

We have schools A and B within 1km to our hse. Tmr we are gg for ballot under Phase 2B for Sch A. Assuming we dont get it and we decide to go for Sch B under Phase 2C due to the vacancies avail. If we put our name on the waitlist for Sch A, anyone know if Sch A will still put us on top of the waiting list due to us not being shortlisted under Phase 2B?

Are u pv or grl ?

My understanding is waiting list is not based on first-come-first-serve. All else being equal, the one living nearer to school has a better chance.

Hi, entry by waitlist is not based on wait list order. Who gets in is based on the P's discretion. Hence, you will need to build rapport with the P.

The one who gets in is normally the one very close to the P, where the P knows this person well, and is most probably a PV balloted out.

boils down to one word : relationship between parent and P.
how well do you think the P know you ?

Wait list is managed differently in different schools .. So no one can really answer this except the principal
