Yeah waitlist process is like a big black hole and there’s no rules at all. No one can tell you how long u gotta wait either.
U can wait list in as many schools as you want and its not in order of who came first. Admission is at the discretion of the school.Octavia\" post_id=\"1925102\" time=\"1564619764\" user_id=\"161617:
Does anyone know about waiting list?
To be able to filled up in waiting list, do we need to register at school A ?
Let say if we never register at school A and i register at school B at phase 2C (any phase)
But after all the registration period finished, we can go to school A and fill up as waiting list.
Anyone got this kind of experience?
Now with P1s expected to move up enbloc to P3 in the same class of 30 students, u might need to wait even longer. In the past, from P2 to P3 the class size increased by 10 (from 30 goes up to 40 students per class). The schools could take in another 10 from outside. Now maybe cannot anymore. -
just checked with Poi Ching, balloting required below 1km, even with 115 seats. (

last day of 2C. Please remember to register if haven’t done so. Its also the last chance to chu whatever pattern for all those who have registered. Good luck all

Let's say At particular school,
parent A out from balloting in 2C.
parent B withdraw in 2C and registered at other school.
At the end of registration period, parent A and B managed to get a place in other school.
But parent B fill up in waiting list in the first previously withdraw school.
parent A never return back to first school.
If got one vacancy at first school, school will call to who?
What are chances between A and B.
School say they will put Q number for those all unsuccessful applicants.
still confuse -

Yes, those parents intending to monitor and switch, dont wait till too late. If your head tells you to do it, just do it. Dont let emotions take over.

Do they mention how many applicants? Yesterday noon I called them, they said 134 applicants (SC, within 1km). The MOE website updated in the evening with 145 applicants. Wondering if all these 145 consist any SC beyond 1km.

HI,
Any P1 boy students in Canossa Catholic Primary in 2019?
Can share more information on this school?
And Geylang Methodist as well for recent 1-2 years students?
Heard GMS is not a good choice now?
Kindly advise if any
Thanks. -

still confuse[/quote]From my experience the school will call nobody, you need to keep calling them.
The truth is anyone can be in waiting list but whom to pick is school’s sole discretion which is not transparent. Student with priority has to be in certain relationship to school, shows sort of talent..etc.
Most importantly, there must be vacancies from students transfer out (handful or less) or expansion of classes (see your luck) -

Who the school picks, is still at the discretion of the school. On your part, you can keep calling the school and the place can still go to someone else. -

1. believe what the school told you.
Do they mention how many applicants? Yesterday noon I called them, they said 134 applicants (SC, within 1km). The MOE website updated in the evening with 145 applicants. Wondering if all these 145 consist any SC beyond 1km.WinnieWinnie\" post_id=\"1925125\" time=\"1564622792\" user_id=\"177451:

2. MOE website included anyone who applied. it can be SC or PR > 2km away. Physically, school can advise someone with no chance not to register, there are some parents who did it online but never monitor. It also include those who hasnt withdrawn yet. I also dont think school is obliged to inform anyone to withdraw when its zero chance but some are kind enough to inform.
Unless the 11 additional pax has breached your risk threshold, i think you should assume all within 1km and if you can take the risk. More over, there should a few more brave hearts joining in today.
