I guess the impact of balloting out is same irrespective of the odds/probability ..Does 25% of chance of getting-in different from 90% of chance? How? If that is the case, how we do make a decision on these uncertainty scenarios.
Phase 2C starts tomorrow (29 Jul) and ends 01 Aug. We are SCs living within 1km of NCPS.
What we know at this point:
1. There are 59 vacancies in Phase 2C in 2019
2. Historicallu, balloting is needed even for SCs living within 1km
3. There were 52, 72, 74 places in Phase 2C in 2018, 2017, 2016 respectively
4. There were 203, 203, 183 applicants in Phase 2C in 2018, 2017, 2016 respectively. Most (if not all) are likely to be SCs within 1km too.
5. Based on Points 3 & 4, chances of being successful in the ballot is approx 25% - 40%.
6. Based on the increasingly higher demand in this growing estate, we estimate a 29% chance of being successful in the ballot.
7. Compassvale Pri has 129 places in Phase 2C this year so there's an approx 90% - 100% chance for SCs within 1km.
Question: Does the school update the number of applications received at the school in real time and whether these applicants are within 1km? MOE only provides an end of day update of the number of applicants at 8pm.
As parents whose kids are in NCPS, do you regret placing your kids there? Heard about the stress about being in an 'elite' primary school and the supposed focus only on the top and bottom performers there.
Your thoughts are much appreciated as we make this important decision over the next few days. Thank you! -

Of coz the probability makes a difference. Of your extreme scenarios, 25% means 80 fighting for 20 seats, 90% means 22 fighting for 20 seats. I won’t fight for the 25% chance

The impact of balleting out is same.
If someone is comfortable with their P2CS backup school , Ithey can continie be in the balloting irrespective of odds..if there is no comfort on P2CS backup school , it is better to look for safer alternates in P2C.
If no other better option in P2C than P2CS school, still continue ballot orrespective of odds. -
Good luck to everyone registering in phase 2C! :rahrah:

Anyone plan to register 2C online today? Or wait until last day?

Register first since already should have a fair idea of which schools you are going for. Can pull out later if balloting odds are really bad. :xedfingers:
