I think i found a more concise way to present the risk for 2B.


see below:

I colour-coded it this round. if you see:
- green, it meant last year needed balloting for >2km SC
- yellow, it meant last year needed balloting for 1-2km SC
- Red, it meant last year needed balloting for within 1km SC
- CHIJ st nic was orange - all SC within 2km in last year
- Maris stella - blue - all SC in last year
- grey, its for those with shortfall this year but no balloting was conducted last year. - you can see also the difference between 2017 and 2018 vacancies.
- those not coded in colour are those with small buffer (10 or less) so it has a considerably amount of risk.

So how you can read the table - if its green last year and this year fallen number of vacancies - it may turn yellow or red this year. Grey and shortfall will mean, it may be a case needed for balloting this year.
All the 17 schools mentioned by MOE on 2b balloting results 2017 has a fallen vacancies except CHIJ tpy, and the other 2 with increased vacancies for the above are nan hua and fairfield.

for the post for the whole list see here: https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=84544&start=1300#p1857463

All the best for the 2B folks.

can i ask about Maris Stella , when you mentioned SC all in, does it mean that even those outside 2km ?
Thanks

I am guessing…those people who apply on Day 1 are either:

- PVs of that particular school
- people who die die also want to ballot anyway, so just apply first

The groups who will wait until Day 2 are:
- religious/clan members who have several schools to choose from
- GRLs who have several schools to choose from

Thanks.

This made me laugh - so true! Thanks Lexy and skii for the tables and analyses - it's nerve-wracking and adrenaline pumping. All the best to all of us who are gearing up for battle over the next two days!!
