For the benefit of parents aiming for the two hot catholic girls school.
Numbers are for 2B in 2017.

CHIJ TP:
57 applicants
Vacancies: 39

<1km: 18
1-2km: 10
>2km: 29
Balloting for >2km - 29 vying 11 vacancies



CHIJ St Nicholas
Vacancies: 20
<1km: 20
No balloting.

Hello
Do you have no for 2C for CHIJ St Nic? <1km required balloting? Thanks.

There is 99.9% chance that SNGS <1km need balloting (see the past trends below). Only 2009 and 2016 all <1km went in. It's 1 of the hottest schools for balloting forever

Maris Stella only had 60 vacancies and no ballot

I think its unlikely to happen this year but who knows!

I am considering Maris Stella as the numbers are looking hopeful for 2B (but it may be that I am reading them wrongly). Last year there were 53 applicants and fewer vacancies left at 2B phase. This year, it seems there are 55 slots left for 2B.... and if there are less applicants than last year, folks like me who are >2km might stand a chance at 2B!

Am i reading this correctly?[/quote]Following what u shared, is Maris Stella really suitable if higher Chinese from P1 a potential issue?

St Gabriel is probably a safe fallback at 2C and no need to try at 2B if you wish to try for balloting success at Maris Stella in 2B. I believe you are comparing against last year’s stats which was a dragon year and an exception

Sorry, did't monitor 2C numbers.

Definitely 100% balloting. My guess is, there will be about 35 applicants vying for 20 vacancies. If you can stomach it, then go for it. If unsuccessful, then it'll be 2CS for you and your choices are limited.

Otherwise go for the safer option and apply for Marymount Convent.

Good luck!

Is there a sub WhatsApp chat group? By area so we can share the phases’ distance applications segregation.

Why don’t share here? Or in the schools thread?

It’s a question. I dont have any, so cant share.


Nvm I get it now, I believe whatsapp chat group is faster ma… but up to individual. So just checking if there’s any.

I am nervous that if i don't get the ballot for Maris at 2B, i might miss out at 2C for St Gabs.... or am i being kiasu/kiasee again? haha
