Just wondering… if u r >2KM or even >1KM… n knows there will be balloting… would u vountarily opt out n apply elsewhere less popular… and maybe create a no-ballot situation… or wait for others to opt out instead… hoping u have better luck than others?

Was asking hubby the same thing too. Does it mean that those staying out of 2km will have to look for another school ? Or still go for balloting ?

I rather skip balloting. I attended a balloting session for my company's D&D this Jan. Heart almost stopped and when we were not successful, the kind of feeling was beyond disappointment. My colleague even questioned if our ballot paper was in the bowl. That's why I am going to St. Stephen's later.

Personally, I would go through the balloting. If I had qualified under P2B, it means I was either a PV, etc. Since I had already spent my time contributing, why not go through the balloting? We still have P2C.

If you have the chance to go through balloting, go ahead, imho.

Of course must look for another school if you don't even have the chance to go through balloting.

Where's St. Stephen's ? How about St. Gabriel, saw that only 18 applied out of fifty something seats.
