Thank you Davischew,
Thank you for the breakdown. We do have another school that we are looking at. We are pretty surprised that 2a2 in sajs is low this year as compared to history. And that got us thinking.. Most probably will have to wait till Phase 2B again for the numbers.

The TUR till 2A2 is about 45% now, yup abit low. But with no guarantee of knowing the stats through online application, it is not wise to go >2km, unless you call up the school every hour and they are willing to share the stats with you.

Thank you for the valuable advice. I wasn't confident that 2C won't go into balloting for >2km. I just needed someone to confirm that and persuade daddy that it is will not be a wise move to try for Phase 2C. It is better to go for SGPS instead which has chances of getting a place.
Nah.. won't bother calling the school.. [/quote]Yes go for St Gabriel’s, either sure in or ballot >2km which also stands a high chance. It’s a good school as well with affiliation.

Unable to comment on school choices, only can give views on odds

For 2C, Nan Chiau is balloting within 1km. Dont waste your chance here.

Rivervale traditionally a school that require balloting for within 1km in 2C. This year take up slightly lower, maybe can get in for all within 1km (or with good odds if balloting is required for <1km). Northspring safe 2C

Hi all,


I have the “misfortune” to be living within 1km of Catholic High, Kuo Chuan Presbyterian and Guangyang, as well as being in 2C. I’m wondering what my best strategy should be? Take the plunge and try for CHS and if it fails, end up with Guangyang?

If you are a risk taker, you can do that. Else go Kuo Chuan for best bet. Kuo Chuan also have affiliation, and don’t forget CHS affiliation cut off pretty high at 240, not sure about future AL band.

Kuo Chuan will probably be balloting within 1km this year, exact number of applicants within 1km not sure as some 1-2km folks will apply too. CHS odds is around 2.5 to 1 spot and KC around 1.5 to 1.

I think Davis has provided you a good plan, With regards to your \"misfortune\" and best strategy to adopt, since you are at KSP, i would say to avoid 2C and get a sch before 2C start (that is if you have a choice and option).

hi all, I am within 1km for Nan Chiau, Springdale and Anchor Green. Will be in phase 2C, thinking if I should risk to try for Nan Chiau? Any helps?

It’s high risk and absolutely up to your risk profile if you want to take. 1 vacancy for every 3 applicants perhaps.
