      [quote=\"zac's mum\" post_id=1984852 time=1594279755 user_id=53606]Judging by the way the info is presented on the MOE website (ie exactly the same as last year), I think we can conclude that we will still be seeing [U]no breakdown of how many applicants per each distance category[/u] in 2020.

      People in phase 2B, 2C, 2CS...be prepared for zero breakdown and no “live” updates at all.

      https://postimg.cc/9rC2xRgK
      I think they would still let those who (registered) fall outside the distance to be balloted to make an alternative choice in phase 2B/2C. Keeping silent would mean a wasted choice as they would not be eligible for their school of choice even if they registered[/quote]
      Nope. I think only a couple of schools bothered to notify the parents in the past years. The vast majority do NOT inform the parents even if they have zero chance for their distance category. I know plenty of people (forummers and relatives/friends) who lost their chance due to this. Plus their own lack of knowledge about the application process.[/quote]It's always an issue on manpower. Schools that can spare 1 or 2 admin to assist and look into the application can definitely call out and notify parents. However, if they are overwhelmed with work, or don't have a dedicated personnel to call (also takes time), then obviously they won't be able to inform.

      With application being online this year, there's a question on how much visibility that the admin / admin manager has. If it's not easy to extract the information on distance, then it won't be possible to notify parents in time. Furthermore, even if it's possible to check, it's unlikely that they will be running the query all the time. If they do so only at 2 or 3 hours interval, it's going to be a high risk for those planning to make an alternative choice.

        With all due respect, zac's mum gave you a very good reply / suggestion in 2018:

        Hi all,

        I am a newbie in this forum. Can I checked if I am old student of HPPS and currently staying opposite NHPS which is definitely lesser than 1km.

        Which options do you personally think you would tried for? Because at Phase 2A1 HPPS undergo balloting and even I enter into their Alumni doesn’t guarantee me a place in the sch. And NHPS is very near to me but I know is not easy to get a place because staying 1km ballot as well. I am so vexed.

        Do you guys mind to share your opinions? TIA.
        :thankyou:
        2A1 and 2C are completely different phases taking place at different times...I don’t see much dilemma actually.

        Just apply to HPPS at 2A1 and take a chance lor. If balloting for your distance then so be it. If selected, woohoo! If not selected, just continue to 2C.

        NHPS <1km confirm will ballot. Just go for the balloting.

        Your dilemma should actually be: which backup school should u choose for 2C(S)? Take the time to evaluate properly and ask around.

        If only you had act upon her suggestion, pay up the alumni fees and go for Phase 2A1, you would have avoided a lot of the headache now 🤷[/quote]Agree with Floppy. Zac's mum has given a great answer. I have seen this \"should I go for alumni\" or \"or the school nearby\" among many first timers. Zac's mum sums it up.

                  Hi Davis, thanks for the info, but the data is until 2017. I think should have the data up till 2019 already right? There is no update

There is no update[/quote]If your concern is MK / Phase 2A2, you should rest easy. The data won’t help you much. The MK effect is not felt in the last few years because most MK are only set up ~3 years ago. The older MK (-5 years ago) didn’t have the Phase 2A2 priority. Therefore, by the time a lot of the students had to enroll in primary school, their parents would already have made plans. The Phase 2A2 effect, if any, will probably come only this or next year (cod parents will know whether they want to use it when they enrolled).

                      Lets not waste monitor's effort.

                      Exact number is 28 for 2019, before 2019 is zero

                      Btw, stay cool and wait out for the official for 2A2 since you enrolling in 2C. Dont sweat on stuff we cannot control.
