Its fine. They only moved in when preggy with my sil. So my sil is alumni but it doesn't help us at all. Nw, they are hoping that their grandkids can get in than the great grandkids no worry le..

They are actually thinking very far. Hinting us to stay together for another 10yrs till my ds finish pri 6. Reason, don't have to wake up early. Stroll to sch every morning.

that is quite true too, very good to be able to stay so close to school. Then should have done PV to doubly ensure you get in. But no one knows that this year's admission is so bad, for the past years, should be able to get in within 1km...

Lucky I'm done with admissions!

its the same as that for Phase 2B2. The within 1km ones will do first, but since there are so many applicants within 1km, those further need not apply. so that will mean the school will draw lots.

Hi all, with the current standing of 33 applicants within 1 km for raffles girls primary school, what is the chance of not balloting within this category? Appreciate all input and thoughts :love:

So meaning the process will take more than an hour? If we’re not there, hw do we know if we got in or not?

i think your chance is even if you are citizen as you have two slips instead of one

as discussed, in worst case scenario, fill up the form for waitlist, go to back up school and study hard, and transfer back with good result after one or two years.

and one more chance, transfer back if qualified for GEP 3 years down the road

see, still have many opportunities

and don't forget to email the principal and call the school every month regarding the waitlist......

forget about all these if you are successful at the ballot
