43 applicants out of 112 places. I think no need to worry about breakdown at this point in time

I doubt there will be 70 applicants < 2km over the next 2 days.

Thanks a lot...would surely be hoping for the same..fingers crossed.

But we are wondering why such a low intake rate? Any thoughts on it ?

Exactly 57 applicants vying for 57 spots in SAJS in day 1. What are the chances for balloting for <1km? Does this number include the online applications?

jurong primary school will conduct ballotting this year or not? Thanks.

Highly unlikely, Taiwar.rohit. Will you consider other options?

Any thoughts on it ?[/quote]http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/bukit-panjang courtesy of Kiasu Parents suggests that the school is kind of a mixed bag. While it is not an extremely popular choice among parents, there are some odd years where the school faces balloting. I suspect that the reason for it's \"unpopularity\" is geographical. The school has an extremely small natural catchment because <1km are mainly low density housing, and between 1km and 2km is a huge landmass that is inhabitable (i.e. MINDEF, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and the reservoirs).

This year, however, is unlikely to be one of those balloting years as the application rate thus far falls on the lower end of the scale. Coupled with this year's applicants being the Tiger Year (where the birth rate is among the lowest), I doubt there will be a huge surge in demand for this school over the next two days.

Yes, big surprise. Nan Chiau's demand this year in Phase 2C is even more fierce than last year's! Last year only 166 registered after 3 days, while this year, there are already 168 applicants. I suspect that many of these applicants may be PRs trying their luck, so keep your fingers crossed. Then again, the whole Seng Kang area seems to be rather hot, with Sengkang Green also severely oversubscribed.

I think otherwise. 99.9% of the applicants are probably within 1km of NCPS. NCPS will actively discourage or turn away applicants > 1km.

I think so too. Most likely the 168 registered are all less than 1km! SC vs.PR - not sure. Base on current stats, is it ratio 1:2.3 now?
