Indeed RMPS seems good for day 1. but the total applicants for this area at the end of day 1 is roughly 350. Total applicants in the area last year at the end of 3rd day is 580.

While this thread is quieter this year (not as red hot in previous years), we have to see if there is a wait and see for the parents around the area. ZDPS seems likely to be filled up by 2C

580 last year? :yikes:
Crossing finger n waiting for the moe update

I relooked at my own calculation and i made a mistake. It's 494 instead of 580. Day 2 total is 434.

All the best to your balloting at RMPS, think will be within QMS excepted number.

Yes we are trying RMPS first and see hows the outcome.. hope the best for all..

If schools are not forthcoming on the details, just assume the worst case scenario, i.e. in the case of RMPS, assume that all applicants are SCs staying within 1 km of the school. Then, discuss with your husband whether you want to take the risk. In my earlier post, I mentioned about the probability and it might sound good on the surface. However, on the day of balloting, everything boils down to luck. High probability of getting into the school doesn't mean anything if luck is not with us.

Looking at ZDPS' numbers, even if not all places are taken up in P2C, it is not advisable for you to try this school in P2CS as you may need to go through balloting (you are in the 1-2 km category for ZDPS, right?). It might be better for you to go with CHIJ Kellock. Based on the number of applicants so far for CHIJ Kellock, your chance in P2CS is rather high. So, P2C with RMPS and P2CS with CHIJ Kellock may be the way to go.
