Ouch Pei Hwa numbers are fierce, 112 appplied for 43 spots. As expected, balloting in 1-2 km bracket. Rosyth also balloting 1-2 km but at least there are 73 spots for 113 applicants.

For Pei Hwa, it doesn't mean 112 for 44 places.
Given that balloting is only for 1-2km, you do not know how much places are taken up by < 1km, and how many people among the 112 are > 2km.
In the worst possible case scenario:
43 applicants are < 1km, 0 applicant > 2km.
Resulting in 69 applicants balloting for 1 spot.

Best case,
within 1km: 1 (no need to ballot)
1-2km: 44 (balloting)
above 2km: 67 (no chance to ballot)

44 ballot for 43 spot.

Therefore, the odds is from 1/69 to 43/44

Hi everyone, I applied for SCGS for my daughter under Phase 2A - it says that there are 79 applicants for 77 places (see image/screenshot), but that NO balloting is required. Can anyone shed light on why this might be so given that there seems to be an excess of 2 applicants?

The mid-point is 49.55%. Probably not much help to people either. Either in or out

Edit: better answers elsewhere.

Yup, but since like skii said the odds can be anywhere from 1/69 to 43/44 for Pei Hwa and

1/41 to 72/73 for Rosyth and we have no way to know, at least there are (1) more vacancies in terms of absolute number (44 vs 73) and (2) the lower and upper boundary odds are both better for Rosyth, I just make a general estimation statement lol.

Of course it doesn’t mean much only the actual numbers matter but short of someone calling the schools and finding out I’d just say looks more scary on paper.

\"This school only has places for Singapore Citizen children.\"

1. Children of alumni and former students can be PR (probably unlikely since there isn't penalty for girls to take up both Singapore citizenship and the citizenship of the spouse, and for the girl to drop the Singapore citizenship subsequently).
2. There are a couple of twins among the applicants.
