      Yeah, no choice for us. Anyway, we gonna try again at 2C.
      If you are trying for Canberra at P2C, you will only be wasting your P2C chance.
      Won’t waste lah.
      < 1km is guaranteed a chance to ballot. High chance / low chance won’t know but probably going to be much lower than Phase 2B for sure.

        We are still confusing which one better. Actually we did 60 hours of PV at Canberra Primary but less chance because there are a lot of SCs. (We are PR).
        Next week will be phase 2B and we still thinking for our second choice in case balloting..
        Last week went to Endeavour Open House but i feel not so great compare with Canberra. Because last year we went Canberra Open house but unfortunately we missed Wellington open house which was at early May.
        So we are very confused.

        Hopefully get a place at Canberra.
        BTW, we are <1km.

          We still have 2C supplement, right?
          But we are very confusing . We plan to go our second choice at 2C supplement.
          Any good idea ? Really headache ........
          Actually our SC application is still pending so that all these headache comes over ... ha ha

            if Canberra is balloting for Singapore Citizen within 1km. you are wasting your chance in 2C as you can have more choices in 2C than in 2Cs.

            For 2B, you may not have other choices other than Canberra. (unless you have lah).

              Under 2C , zero chance for PR so 100% wasted. Go to 2nd at 2C, you still have 3rd choice for 2CS

                sometimes you will feel like puking blood repeating the caution.

                Hopefully for 2B they have a balloting chance for PR<1km.

                  Really need to call the school to find out the stats. Day 1 already 56 vs 52

                    Oh! A PR. Missed that.

                    Yah. It’s a waste of their time to apply to Canberra in Phase 2C. Won’t even get a chance to smell the ballot. Never mind they just have to start planning for Phase 2CS.

                      Day 1 already 56.
                      Are we so stupid doing PV as PR?
                      My hubby wants to go second choice at 2C but i want to try again .
                      If we call to school to find out, will they answer us what we want to know. What should i ask?
                      Really don't know what to do.

                      We know that total 79 did PV at the same time like us but we can't know how many SC and PR?
                      The only chance we have is <1km.

                      Our second choice(Wellington) still got many vacancies (85 as at 2B Day1).
                      I think it will still have vacancy at Wellington at 2CSupplement. Am i wrong thinking this way?

                      BTW, thank you Kiasu , you make me stress out :lovesite:

                        call the school to check SC and PR, and PR distance. since you mentioned 79 PV, chances are slim.

                        2C must put Wellington or another. Zero chance at Canberra
