      [quote=TyzillaMaMa post_id=1920939 time=1563518923 user_id=176091]Hi,
      What's the high chance of a SC >2km applying in Phase 2C, for RGPS?
      Thank you.

      Probably balloting for >2km. Monitor the no. of applicants vs vacancies >2km on the last afternoon. Best to have a backup

      [/quote]To add on, it's historically low TUR after 2A(2) at 45%, so your chances are good. All the best!

          The odds can be quite bad if you don’t monitor properly. While we may not see those applicants number as dragon year, please monitor and calculate properly while you are there.

              In 2013 for RGPS, a group of 1-2km parents appeared in the 11th hour, like 4:15pm to register their child. The >2km were left in the lurch as it was too late to withdraw. Hence, their P2C "tickets" were wasted. Lesson learnt? To monitor the number closely and not to pull out (if you have secured a place in earlier phases) prematurely! or to drop the high risk idea of balloting as SC >2km.

                Has anyone studied the chances of Bukit Timah Pri going into 2CS this year? If there is a good chance, then maybe it is OK for SC>2km to ballot at RGPS?


                Is it true that those who are balloted out of MGS, Nanyang, Peihua will go to Bukit Timah at 2CS?

                If Bukit Timah does not have 2CS, then where else can those who balloted out of MGS, Nanyang and Peihua go to? Anyone with such experience to share?

                  Current TUR at BTPS is 27% , and no applicants at Day 1 2B. Probably 2CS have chance all in.
                  RGPS probably has good chance of >2km. Day 1 only 18 appllicants vs 74 available.

                    Your backup alternatives to BTPS for 2CS would depend on where u live. Those near Bukit Batok side and drive could go to Lianhua Primary. Alternatively if u live next to the Downtown Line, explore if there are any schools along that line.

                    Last year one forummer who was balloted out from Nanyang Pri lived next to Farrer Road MRT (circle line). He recceed and explored the schools along the bus routes (New Town Primary) as well as along the Circle Line. In the end he chose Guangyang Primary in Bishan, apparently near enough the mrt for him.
