Don't know why it's different from ACSJ website. ACSJ is more and more popular.

http://acsj.moe.edu.sg/qql/slot/u188/docs/Announcements/P1_Intake_2014_to_2017.pdf

Phase 1 just concluded and had 93 applicants, the highest on record. Seems like if this carries on, will only have the mandatory 20/20 for 2B and 2C

ACSJ is more popular that ACSP this year, so puzzling
whilst ACSP and SJIJ have roughly followed the past year trends (SJIJ even showing lesser), ACSJ has just exploded this year
rough ride for those in the 2B/2C stages

Afterall, it’s a small sliver of condos in the area that fall in the overlapping area. Wouldn’t most parents have made up their mind about one school or the other ahead of time?

Those who only stay near 1 school and no other choices would have to stay put.

Back in 2011, when there were total space of 138 across the 3 schools and towards the last moments, all 3 schools need balloting within 1km.

Last year around 135 spots across the 3 schools were available in 2C. this year at this moment, its down by around 20. We cannot assume the 60 going for 46 last year in ACSJ would do the same if the remaining spots becomes 27.

It is not only a small sliver of condos...there is a very wide belt of residential buildings within 1km of both ACS...the overlap covers as wide as from Sarkies Road (+ all the multitude of condos along Newton Road) to Lincoln Road to Novena Terrace.

Some people want to include <1km of SJIJ also. Those would be a smaller overlapping area, but they are still your competition nevertheless.

Even if you have your heart set on one school, on the final day given the better odds at a another place, some people will still pick the safer one even if it’s less preferred.

We had the option of moving to a guaranteed 2C spot few years back and stuck with the balloting option for ACSJ. The regret comes in when you consider the possibility of not getting the ballot and then so close to being not chosen on the actual day. It’s not a good feeling and I agree with zac’s mum that some will (and probably should) choose a safer alternative like SJIJ to avoid the angst and anxiety.

Thanks all! Praying for the best outcome now... hopeful that logic prevails and we see a nice equalisation so everyone can get into a good school in the neighbourhood!
