All About Primary Schools' Balloting History
-
Yes. Thank you to rose who have replied. WRT schools updating the numbers in real time, I don’t see any difference in number of applications between earlier (when the website said the numbers were updated as of 30th July) and now when it shows the data is as of 31st July. Could be a bug which they may fix later. I have been tracking a few schools, no changes anywhere.
Has anyone tried calling schools for breakdown (sc n non SC applicants)? If yes, how was the reception? I think that’s a great help for people who are in the same boat as me. 🙏🙏 -

Thank you for your reply. Yes, it was quite a shocking call but good thing the I was notified. Makes one wonder that a better way to deal with it would have been rejecting all unqualified-for-ballot-applicantions through online system prematurely, SMS notification. Had I not called back I wouldn’t have known we didn’t stand a chance in the first place.
If there's balloting for SCs in the less than 1 km category, those in the 1-2 km category will not even get to be part of the balloting, let alone have your so called \"less voting points\". This latter group of applicants would have lost their P2C chance totally.rumaya\" post_id=\"1924845\" time=\"1564559501\" user_id=\"97356:
My understanding was that everyone still goes into balloting but SC living within 1-2km will have less voting points over SC living within 1 km. Can someone explain.

If you had looked at the balloting statistics, you would have realised that the school had been balloting only for SCs within 1 km for many, many years already.

As of noon, there were 192 registrants.. 152 Are SCs within 1km. HPS didn't want to reveal the figures. Not helpful since I am pondering if I should drop out of the ballot (MTS) and go HPS at the last min. But since I have no info， might as well stay put and hope for the best.[/quote]I went in the afternoon at around 3.30pm and the same information is being given to me... 152 within 1km... however, I did not clarify if these are all SCs. Triple check my address and confirmed it is outside 1km (missed by 2 blks).... and walked away liao....
Cool down and focus your energy to knowing your risk threshold and what is the backup plan. At the rate you are going, your brain going to burst in flames.Lexy\" post_id=\"1924714\" time=\"1564546776\" user_id=\"12180:

Online info shows 175 vs 131. if total is around 144 SC <1km, does this means most likely 31 applicants, who are likely between 1-2km, will drop out and go elsewhere?
Roughly 200 pax havent show face in punggol per the numbers yesterday.

On Monday, I register my son in Chongfu via online. Yesterday, the school called me and advise me to withdraw due to the demand for SC <1km stands at 140 whereby the supply is 48 seats. She explained to me why it’s wiser to withdraw and register at other school where demand in lower. I took the advise. No point banking on balloting when the demand is so high. If I miss this 2C chance at another school, I will have to compete with other parents for a seat in 2Cs. Therefore, I recommend those parents who registered their child in a school which has high demand to reconsider withdrawing and register in another school with higher chance in Phase 2C. 2 more hours before closing date. Good luck.
