Quite risky for PR, might not have chance to ballot. Better find a backup for 2C or 2CS.

Hi Tampinian, I am registering for my girl this year. Going for phase 2C and within 1km of Poi Ching, St hilda and Gongshang. My preference is Poi Ching as it’s nearest to me. What is the possibility that Poi Ching don’t need balloting this year for ph2c within 1km. Any chance for Gongshang as well?

I think it's going to be:
1. Poi Ching, ballot for SC < 1km
2. St Hilda, ballot for SC < 1km
3. Gongshang, ballot for SC < 1km

You will probably need to have a backup plan for Phase 2CS.

That's right.

In Phase 2C, Poi Ching has required balloting under 1km for 9 years, with balloting 1-2km away in 2016. Last year, there was 195 applicants for 79 places!

St Hilda's is even worse. It required balloting <1km EVERY year since 2006. Last year, there was 118 applicants for the minimum of 20 places.

Gongshang is not much better. It also has balloting <1km every year since 2006, even though the pressure is slightly lesser, with 85 applicants for 22 places.

So, Poi Ching is probably your best bet, although with poor odds. You definitely need to have a backup plan for Phase 2CS.
