RMPS will likely to enter balloting in phrase 2A2 or 2B. Chances left to get in there in 2C will be 20%.

Thanks for the replies! Oh wow seems like RMPS is super competitive. How about APS then? I know its also very popular

APS is also popular cos it is consider a new sch. If you are staying nearer to APS, chances of getting in will be higher compare to RMPS. Mostly like to enter balloting under 2C as nearby have alot of new estates.

It's better for you to be prepared. Please also consider a backup school.

My son is registering for P1 this year. We have GESPS and Blangah rise within 1km, and a few schools at 1-2km, like Radin Mas, Zhangde, Alexandra, Queenstown primary school. We have no priority, so chance is very low for Radin Mas, Alexandra, and even ZhangDe. Comparing Zhangde, Queenstown, and Gan Eng Seng, which school is a better choice in your opinion? My son likes to follow his peers on what to do, not much of his

own determination. So I think a school with good learning environment, and encouraging teachers will help. Appreciate for your opinion.

Why do you think you have a very low chance for Zhangde?

Many parents staying within 1 km of Alexandra and Radin Mas consider Zhangde as one of their backup schools. As such, your chance at Zhangde is not that low, looking at the statistics for the past few years.

Zhangde, Queenstown and Gan Eng Seng are all comparable in terms of standard.

How good are the teachers and learning environment will depends on the school principal, what is he or her focus and direction.
MOE now is no longer focusing on academic results, but on non academic as well. Perhaps you can look at what does these 3 schools have to offer in terms of CCAs.

I explored the 3 schools website and facebook. Queestown offers more info on website, and the PSG facebook page is very active. So maybe I can say queenstown may engage with parents more? Gang eng seng website has very little info, and limited choices of CCA. Zhangde offers the most CCA, and my son may like wushu, which he is learning now.
I have a good impression on queenstown, but saw some not so good remarks on the new principal... Still can't decide which one is my first choice.

If both are on par, go with the feeling to make decision.
