      Where do we obtain the latest figures, after 3.45 pm afternoon (2C, last day) by distance break down for SC?
      The MOE website does not provide such figures,

      Try calling the school and let us know. Probably also no stats from them.
      Basically for this year, based on past stats and current vacancies, throw your application and pray.

      or look at first/second day applications and make he safe choice if overwhelming numbers

            Fengshan, Red Swastika and Yu Neng most probably need to ballot <1km.
            I suggest St. Anthony’s Canossian, no balloting for 1-2km, and with affiliated secondary.

                  Hi, any feedback on zhangde and gan eng seng primary school? Which is more preferred? Was balloted out from rmps in phase 2A2 and 2C likely no chance, so maybe zhangde or gan eng seng will be my next choice

                    Sorry to hear that.
                    You can go for Zhangde in 2C, and Gan Eng Seng as backup in 2CS. If it's DD, can go for CHIJ (Kellock)

                        If you’re going to cough up the money to buy/rent <1km, pick a school that does not need balloting for <1km phase 2B.

                        In this case, CHIJ Toa Payoh.

                        Kong Kwa previous years sometimes balloting <1km for 2B. Recent years demand dropped, dunno why.

                        Ai Tong and Nan Chiau, don’t bother. They would be like your $0.5-2 million investment is just to buy a TOTO ticket.
