2014 P1 Registration Exercise for 2015 In-Take

Relax. The first day is really too early for regular updates because a lot of people will be waiting. Hourly updates should happen on the 3rd day. Save your energy and blood pressure for the last day, folks.

I left ACSP about 10, and total registration were 18 (SC:16; PR:2).

Then I checked to ACSJ, their last update on 8:30 shown only online registration which 6/1/6 based on distance (<1k/1-2/>2).

Anybody knows the latest?

I'm waiting for the latest too..I live within 2.3km. Do I have any chance of getting into ACSJ? or should I jus go for SJI which is within 2km?

Ahh this is so stressful.

My friend is looking at the ACS schools too. She lives 1-2km but think chances are slim as ballot or cut-off is <1km over the last few years. SJI at least got chance to ballot 1-2km. Unfortunately she is on other side. >2km from SJI. So you are in a more fortunate situation.

May I know where did you see the ACSJ update?

For online submission, do we need to bring down the original documents for verification by Friday?

If you want to have some idea of the distribution of parents applying on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd days of Phase 2C, refer to the table found at the bottom http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/strategies-phase-2c. It shows the distribution for the 2010 exercise.

I think everyone should just register as early as possible. Why? So that it gives yourself and others a clear indication of the chances. If everyone wait and see and all register on the last day...will have heart attack esp if first 2 days low registration and there is surge in application on the last day after the registration closed, resulting in a reduced chance where you might not be prepared to take *faint* :slapshead:

I agree with you! That's why I registered yesterday! I also thought if all registered early then we can make informed choices. But in reality quite hard to execute. There are many reasons for people who register later.

For most popular schools, 80% of parents would register on the 1st day, 5% on 2nd day, and 15% on 3rd day.

For schools which are considered 2nd-stringers, about 50% would register on 1st day, 10% on 2nd day and 40% on 3rd day, when parents give up on their 1st choice for a safer 2nd choice.

So don't worry so much. Things will work out in their own ways!
