Popcornpizza:

Hi, I'm new here and very much appreciate your help.


I've just registered my kid for 2C, and wondering if we can still see the daily statistics of the applicants either on kiasu site or MOE site this year. I don't seem to find any statistics as of yesterday (online applicants from Wed).

For number of registrations, you'll have to wait till this evening for an update. Otherwise, check in here and see if other parents are generous enough to post them.

I heard that as of now, it is confirmed that Sengkang Green will go into balloting for SG citizens within 1km, based on online figures.

You will have a better chance in Xinming. If you insist to register in Rosyth, be prepared for the worst by choosing another school for Phase 2C(S).

While the risk for Xinmin is lower, Xinmin is still likely to ballot for those staying within 1km. So it still all boils down to luck. Personally, if both my target schools require balloting <1km, I will choose Rosyth.

Thanks Chief n galaxy rider,

Would it be unsound to register for rosyth tomorrow, mean while monitor. If oversubscription is crazy, I dereg rosyth and go XinMin. That's assuming I do that by 2pm?
If all else fail, based on last year 2Cs results, within 2km and with vacancy, I've choice o CHIJ OLGC & zhonghua. I just can't find enough info on zhonghua and is concern of the high vacancy in phase 2Cs. Does that means zhonghua is unpopular?[/quote]Are you prepared to go for balloting at 2.5 to 3.8 applicants is to 1 vacancy in Rosyth? what is crazy number in your opinion?
Xinming would be at worst around at worst 1.3 applicants to 1 vacancy. - i would think within 1km for SC seems border line case of maybe have or maybe don't have ballot this year.

Lets not go try out school you have doubts.

As of now rosyth is oversubscribed.

25 seats
50 within 1km
3 within 2km
For fellow parents to consider.

Seriously, if parents are holding back (this includes those parents who had registered in the earlier phases) and only registering on the last day (especially in the last part of the afternoon), how are parents able to guage the demand (such as balloting and even their odds) of a school?


I Think parents shld just register as early as possible so others can make an informed decision on their chances.

You are assuming that most parents will monitor the situation like stock market. Well, some do, but many don't
While it varies from school to school, on the average, about 70% of applicants will register by the 1st day. If there is interest, I can run some numbers and work it out for each school last year.

rough and about that number although i am using my head rather than computer.
we can plot a graph and also can see what is the movement day to day but it will be covered by some who enter at 1km and the other out of 1km on the same day.

Any live update from Ngee Ann Primary here?

I chiak bah kah eng. Here you go:


Note: The rate is the number registered on each Day versus the total number of vacancies available for Phase 2C. Hence, the sum of the rates will NOT add up to 100%.
