        Not really a lot less Alumni in SCGS, it just happens I guess.

          This was 2019, surprised at 40 people fighting 21 (2B) seats, and also so many people didnt get into 2C! 32 fighting for 21!!! That would be a shame from MGS immediately sent to BTPS 2Cs!

            Just wondering, for those church members... Paya lebar MGS is a sure IN, why would they risk a chance to be balloted out for Bukit Timah MGS and risk going to Bukit Timah Pri? PLMGS is not too shabby, its well above average and a girls affiliated school too!! :please:

              That’s because not everyone lives in the East / Northeast area. Also, PLMGS is not located near any MRT station, or major expressway / thoroughfare. That makes it less attractive if you don’t live nearby or drive.

              Plus, PLMGS application is averaging > 60 vs MGS > 40. I would say it’s already attracting more than it’s fair share of church members.

                It’s not necessary that many who didn’t get into MGS would choose BTPS for 2CS. Assuming a girls’ school is the priority, there are MCS or CHIJ OLQP that are within an acceptable distance for those who got balloted out.

                  the attractive factor of the schools is one thing. im talking about the risk factor and probability of getting in.

                  for MGS… even for 2B within 1km theres balloting, so thats a high risk.
                  but for PLMGS, you can be 2B beyond 2km and still a 100% guarantee in.
                  why would you give up a 100% chance in a decent school to try 60% chance at a fancy school (with a risk of going to 2Cs at any leftover schools)?

                    If I remember correctly, MGS odds are not that bad. Most years there’s no balloting at all for 2B <1km. Even that one year it occurred, only less than a handful got balloted out?


                    Check with your fellow church members with older kids, they would know.
