sc88:
Looks good. As long as total number of aplns not 3 times more than vacancies I should be fine. I'm under 1km and in my area not that many residential properties.Hey,
Todays Phase 2B results are out. 44 58

But non citizens are not given 2 ballot slips to begin with, right?mummymay:
They give foreigners 2 slips in this case?
Yes, if they ever do a reverse balloting, I think this will work as foreigners/PRs will have twice the chance to be ballot out. That'll will be equivalent to giving 2 slips to citizen in a normal ballot.
Reverse balloting could work if the citizen is given two chances to be picked out. -

:!:
ummm,but stick to the bottom/side of the bowl how? then will NEVER be picked up. :stupid: :stupid: :stupid:Way2GO:
Oh Daddy D, I hv a suggestion on your query

RRMummy:
That's not true.. they do go bby the books and ballot out 2.. I know for a fact that it happened in Rulang last year.[/quote]ok me wrong - only can happen is \"The only time this happens is if twins, triplets, etc were successfully registered within the Phase. Multiple births are treated only as 1 registrant during registration\"spikey:
[quote=\"alvinaT\"]If there is a ballot, and the school has 52 applicants for 50 vacancies, do they choose 2 (to drop) or choose 50? :?
usually, with only 2 over the limit, the school will accept all 52 without ballot. U just need to study the history of all the 'hot' schools over the last 3 yrs to see that this is what usually happens.

The outcome would be different between both methods. Assuming 10 locals and 5 PR, and 5 vacancies.mummymay:

Method 1 (ballot in)
As a local, my chances are 2/25 x 5 = 10/25 chances (40%) of getting in.
Method 2 (ballot out)
As a local, my chances are 1/20 x 10 = 10/20 chances (50%) of getting out. In other words, I would have 50% chance of getting in for this method.
Can someone confirm my math? -

Rather this than have anxious parents sit thro'
the full ballot exercise if difference between total ballots vs vacancies is very small ,ya?

Could be. All hearsay, of course.
Not sure if it was MS, but there was a school who took one more because one of the balloted was a twin, so they had to allow both children in. Then 2C reduced by 1 seat.RRMummy:
[quote=\"Gecko\"]I recalled that Maris Stella had 1 over the limit last year (was it under 2km?). I believed that school did not do balloting.
Hwr, that meant that theyhad to add one more place for phase 2C

This was what one of my girl's classmate at Berry's told me because they managed to get MS.[/quote]Last year at MS, 99 children for 98 spaces (Phase 2B). All allowed in cos of a pair of twin! My fren's boy is in the same class as one of the tiwn.

Tankee, you figured out the solution?
