momi:

Thank you for the details !! Appreciate that. Well, just have to keep my fingers crossed that the numbers won’t be too high for 2a2...

Which Phase will you be in? Which distance group?

[momi]

2C <1km. The numbers are out.

Btw, anyone can advice if the sch will update the numbers on the board during registration days? How can we monitor the “live” number of applicants (by distance)?
TIA!

Good luck! I was in your situation 2 years ago.

ACSJ will put the numbers on a white board in the registration room at the end of the morning session. If u want a “live” update, just pick a chair near the front of the room and prick up your ears as each applicant approaches the counter lol.

Or, you can interrupt the busy staff and ask for periodic updates. Use your discretion lah, don’t disturb them more than necessary.

I do not know if ACSP has provided updates in recent years. Two years ago, they did not.

Both ACSJ and ACSP admin staff will update the white board from time to time, but might not be \"real time\" as they will update only when they are free.

For ACSJ, there are only 21 applicants in 2A2, so the balance of 42 seats will be divided by 2 and allocated to 2B and 2C. It means there will be 41 seats in both phases, which is extremely low compared to previous years. Balloting for <1km in 2B is possible, but in 2C I can say that it's definite.

Thanks both for sharing!


Zac’s mum, did u register your child on the last day 2 years back?

[zac's mum]

Yes I did. Afternoon of the last day.

Hi zac’s mum, will we know if there’ll be balloting at the end of the 2nd day of registration? or do we have to wait till the day of result?

You'll hv to wait till day of results. We were told back then when registering to wait if there's balloting, they'll call us. Whether u go & witness balloting, u'll be informed if u did not get in to enable to take registration to next stage. Owise u're safe.

By end of the day you will roughly know which distance group requires balloting. And with the new computerized balloting system, you can only wait for the SMS notification after the balloting is completed. There won't be anymore balloting session like in the past.

If u can, please remain in the registration room until 4.30pm closing time. The staff will announce: (i) which category will be balloting (ii) how many applicants in that category fighting for how many seats. Then u will know your odds. Then u go home to pray.

Those who leave before 4.30pm, let’s say they need to rush off for sthg else. They will only know the answer to part (i) from MOE’s website when it is updated late in the evening same day. And they will never know the answer to (ii).

I very kaypoh so I belong to the first type of parent.
