No balloting for 1-2km. 55 applicants in >2km category will ballot for 6 places, so the ~1 in 9 odds info above is accurate.
Any update from school on breakdown for number of applicant based on school distance? -
Yes I called up the school. Balloting is out of 2 km. Only 6 available

Historical data is correct.
The odds for >2km is ~9x this year compared to ~3x last year. And that for a much lower base snake year vs dragon and stable boy-girl ratio year on year. Historical data stats can only take you so far :heresmyfish:
RGPS is likely to ballot for SC > 2km - bingo.
The wisdom of 55 SC > 2km applying for 6 seats is, on the other hand, :siao:

Any parents can share how many students from RGPS enrolled to NYGH or RGS last year?
-
I do not suppose you buy TOTO or 4D
It's also a case that many of those 55 did not know that the odds are ~9x, and some had in their mind the ~3x odds for last year. Even if you wanted to find out more info yesterday, it was very tough on the ground this year in many schools, including RGPS.
My personal sense is that the cutting of seats in schools (due to lower birth rate) cause some unintended ripple effects across the whole spectrum for this year. For a start, never assume lower base year is always to your advantage.
Anyway, 1 in 9 still better than Toto and 4D odds. Huat Ah! :moneyflies: -
The 55 are all SC. They advised foreigners and PR not to apply at the gate.

Congratulations to all the parents who’s kiddos got into RGPS
