day 2 of phase 2b

eg: peihwa applicant more than spaces and balloting outside 2km,
jump ship to rgps, bukit timah pri (during day 2)[/quote]

So, u meant jump ship and apply for phase 2c of another school?[/quote]

Firstly you cant apply for phase 2c when registration for phase 2b is ongoing.

Once registration for Phase 2b is closed then phase 2c would be opened for registration.

The registration dates for both phases are different.

What skii meant was on the last day of registration at phase 2b, if balloting is required for pei hwa for.those living outside 2km, one might want to consider going to another school that has a higher chance of getting in.

So you need to.monitor the no of.applicants vs vacancy very carefully and decide.on the.last day of.phase 2b which school you want.to.register your.child with.[/quote]

Ah…now I get it. Thanks 12mum and skii…

[skii]

hope it helps.


my 2B experience was:
I apply sch A on day 1.
end of Day 1, 150+% oversubscribed and all are within 1KM, i.e confirm balloting.

withdrew from Sch A on day 2.
applied Sch B.
no ballotting since applicants less than no. of places.
all got in happily.

my 2B letter never go to waste.

May I ask your choice of Sch A is within 1-2km of your residence or > 2km?

sch A: within 1KM

sch B: more than 2KM

it was lucky for me.

Hi, how can I check if the school I want to apply under phase 2b is in the same GRC as my residence? I’m looking at Tao Nan since I’m going to live within 1km of it & I’m thinking of joining the NC (I think not set up yet cos I just collected the keys) but I checked the postal code & is under Joo Chiat CC.


Thanks!

Not familiar with the boundaries there.


Make sure it’s 100% marine parade grc.

You have enough time to clock 2years+ right? Plus waiting time and etc.

Assuming I sign up now, Feb start off as Observant for 3months & get confirmed as a Member in May 2019, so that’s when the 2years start to count right? Then I might just have made it right before pri one registration in July 2021... Or based on experiences here, timing wise it’s already too late??

Hi, are there updated stats for 2018 registration? Thanks

skii:

stats for 2017 and before
https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/bukit-timah/

stats for year 2018
https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=91621&p=1863114

My conclusion:
balloting for more than 2KM is common for pei hwa thus 2B letter is not a bao jiak.
have a plan B ready.
(like RGPS or BTPS)

EDIT:
bro, your address is near your RC right?

[skii]

Your timeline is very very tight.


Not say u wanna start can start. PA takes time to process. Chairman takes time to approve you joining meeting.

Cny in feb - my rc got no meeting in feb lo.
Maybe other rc also no meeting.
