Hi, can someone help to confirm if my understanding of posting is correct? If 2 students with same gross and net score say 10 apply for same jc. If there are 10 vacancies for 100 applicants, if student a put the jc as 1st choice vs student b who puts it as 2nd choice, both students still hv equal chance via balloting right? ie the student can take risk to apply for a jc that he is 1 pt short n be safe to enter his 2nd choice where he safely meets the cut off. TIA!

No. The student who put the jc as 1st choice as higher priority. The system will filter all the first choice students and place them accordingly, before moving to the 2nd choice. Hope this information helps.

Page 11 of the JAE booklet did not mention choice has higher priority

How about this way

Student A with a nett of 9 points selected one of the JC as his 1st choice.
Student B with a nett of 8 points selected the same JC but is his 2nd choice.

So which student has a higher priority for the same JC?
Base on merit?

Base on merit?[/quote]It's all stated in p11 of the booklet. Allocation is based on merit first. In the case of two students with the same score vying for the last place in the school, allocation will be by citizenship. If both are sg citizens, then gross aggregate scores. Last resort, computerized balloting.

Thanks all for sharing. Appreciate it. What i am concerned with is - is there any chance of the jc being involved in the posting process (filtering out students who chose jc as 1st choice) or is the posting process purely done by central system administered by moe? I tried to call in moe to ask but put on hold for so long that i gave up.

It's all done by the centralized computer system

The confusion has cleared

Thank you .

The order of choices may be more important when doing an appeal .

so for the last place in the school, all the students that have e.g COP 10 who chose it as the first, second, third or fourth choice etc will come together and have a centralized ballot ?

Last place in the school will be allocated based on merit, followed by citizenship, followed by gross aggregate score and if all else fails, balloting. Based on the information from MOE, placement of choice is not mentioned at all. So theoretically, yes, all will be balloted if there's no tie breaker before the balloting stage.

Thanks jtoh. That’s what i understand when i read that explanation in the jae booklet. I hope it is as it is stated. Perhaps some parents who had checked with moe or their personnel can confirm this - sorting by moe centralised system? Sorry for being super kiasu but this is highly impt to me. Thanks again!
