[Bukit Merah] Primary Schools

[Dino]

I would trust the administrator’s experience and advice. And yes, for the popular schools there’s ALWAYS a flurry of activity in the last 2 hours, even last hour, even the last 15 minutes and last last absolute final minute at 4.29pm. I have seen it with my own eyes at my school. Don’t get caught out. U still need to factor in your travel time after withdrawing.

Yes please factor in the admin time and travel time for withdrawal. I have done this before myself last time and its so rush that I nearly fell and injured. The rush is not fun. Sometimes the admin take their own sweet time and its damn frustrating.

Once 30 places start trickling downwards after lunch, I will withdraw and move on. No need to wait for the dam to be breached. For PR, the certainty of having a place is WAY BETTER than the risk of ballot or getting flood by a last hour wave of applicants.

Yikes, that indeed does not sound fun...Thank you, all, for your feedback on this. I better not roll the dice on this. ALTHOUGH, let me pose this question. If I lose out on Zhangde, and Cantonment has still a healthy number of spaces left for 2C Supplementary (however you want to define healthy), wouldn't I still have a decent shot at this so-called \"less popular\" school that typically still has spaces for foreigners even?

Grabbing a place in Cantonment at phase 2C is FAR better than encountering a freak result in phase 2CS where it’s oversubscribed by SCs. Then PR will have zero chance again.

My selection is CHIJ (K). Just finished registration at the school. I guessing there’ll be ballot for 1-2km SC…hope for the best!

This will be a surprise, never happen (2006 onwards)

Still don't think it would happen.

Ballot, yes. But for SC? Probably not.

SC all in this year at p2c.

My daughter got in without need for ballot.

RMPS oversubscribed, ZDPS fully filled. No regrets on my choice, at least I don't have to consider backup at GESPS..
She squealed with joy when I told her she's confirmed going Kellock, cos she dislike rowdy boys. Haha...
