ACS P within 1 km is 25 and more than 2k is 7.[/quote]
Thank you. That’s very helpful. ACSP has 32 seats. So with the current total applicants, it is already full.

And <1km category is also filling up fast. All as expected.

Those schools don't need breakdown lah

as of yesterday evening:
SHPS: 95 for 20 places
GSPS: 57 for 25 places
PCPS: 142 for 58 places

I think you can easily estimate 90.0% to 99.9% of the applicants as SC within 1km.

Parents from ACS could easily fill the 20 vacancies if they are risk adverse. maybe this year all 3 schools fill up just nice. No balloting within 1km... This would be unprecedented.

I’m curious why the ACSP/ACSJ/SJI wait till last minute, to see which one has the lowest odds of balloting within 1km before making their move? While it’s understandable why they wanna do that, but I pity those in the 1-2km or >2km people, too late to react if the sch they registered for ends up with balloting within 1km. Good luck to everyone!

I don’t understand what the purpose of going online is. When I saw the online registration announcement, in my mind I was still thinking. Wow, dont have to run around anymore. Alas, I was too naive. I kinda feel sorry for parents that still have to chiong down to site to get the real time figures. How come 2018 already still cant just click a website and see the figures for under1km/1-2/above2km. Its a really poor use of technology. Worse still, the school admins paid by taxpayers, acting so high and mighty and not revealing numbers. Where’s the transparency in that? Very jialat.

Just two weeks back in P2B, got ppl last minute jumped from NYPS to Henry Park. There was no ballot for Henry park but there was ballot for NYPS. It depends on the risk adversity of the parents and also a slight last mover advantage in this case

It may or may not move in your favor. Some may withdraw fr one school to try in another school, thinking better chance, but what if there are too many with the same thinking then the numbers will be skewed in the other direction suddenly? I will get a heart attack.
