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?

Between 1.4% and 97.7%.

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.

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.

\"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.

There is a more exaggerated case over at Nan Hua, 111 applicants for 77 spots but not balloting required as all the SCs got in. That means there are 34 PR applicants :shock:

I think it means two alumni are non-SC (likely PR).

I think the Nan Hua case is all SC > 2 km don't get to ballot. The 77 spots were exactly filled up < 1 km + 1-2 km.

Thanks, everyone for the helpful responses.
