but at the end of 28/7, shouldn't all the online applications be accounted for, so that on the last day 29/7, when you see the numbers at the individual schools, they are truly all the registrations up to date for that particular school?

tat's my tot too

I agree. This should be the case which is why I think MOE decided to close off online reg a day earlier.

Just registered in person at SAJS. Not too crowded but i overheard the staff telling a pair of foreign parents that SAJS does NOT have phase 3.

My boy is SC, we live <1km, so i hope his chances are high.
But i was asked to fill up a family profile form… wonder if that plays any role in the school’s acceptance.

All the best, Shisan.

I don't have the numbers but Rulang is almost guarantee to ballot < 1km.

Maybe next year somebody will write an app that gives real-time updates. That would be super helpful…

Can understand your anxiety. The best and most reliable way is to call the school directly to enquire at the end of each registration day to gauge your chances (provided the school wants to disclose). MOE website only shows the number of applicants, no breakdown by SC or PR nor number of applicants based on distance from school.

On a side note, Rulang has all along been a very popular school, so there is a strong likelihood of balloting within 1 km, just like last year. Hence if you are not living within 1 km of the school, it would be advisable to have a back-up plan. If you are, your child either gets admitted immediately or has to go balloting.

All the best!!

I don't think the family profile plays a part in the schools acceptance. After all this registration exercise is run by MOE, not the schools directly and online applications have no such profiles to fill out. The entry should be based on citizenship and distance as mentioned in MOE website.
Most likely the school will ask all successful applicants to fill out the form at the point of registration and they asked you to fill out now so that you don't need to fill out later.

Yes zac's mum, that will be useful if MOE allow it. However for now it will be great if we all help each other by updating on this tread any schools that we have contacted on the updates. Thanks in advance.

What family profile form was that? SAJS admin form or MOE form?

No SG-born child of any single parent will be denied of his/her ballot chance, if there's balloting at all.



Aside: read this, you're not aware of MOE's financial assistance schemes.
