spent the weekend seeking divine intervention. the ballot will be held at 4pm today and 54 will be vying for 18 places. This is worst than previous of 68 for 36.

Shouldn't MCS ballot be 78 fight for 42 seats? That's according to Tankee's info. Did you apply for MCS or another school?

May be some of them are within 1km and within 2km, and therefore balloting only for those outside two.

Hi Juanthedragon, wish you all the best for today's balloting.

tankee's info was based on official MOE stats, which include those staying within 1km and 1-2 km as well. Actuall balloting people for those out of 2km would be different.

Hmm...then it should still be 42 seats, not 18 places.
Anyway, wish Juanthedragon all the best!

Haha no dear... The total is 42 places... If there are only 18 places left for balloting out of 2km, it means that 24 places already taken up by those staying within 1km and 1-2km...

nope, educational in fact......with gahmen new immigration policy to open the floodgate.....we will see more competition for P1 from now on, this is despite that our birth rate has declined since 2002......

I am grateful for the experience, my child may not get to go to the school of choice, she will if she studies hard and make it there on her own merit......

Can anyone advice for SAJS :

St. Andrew’s Junior School 73 79

Does this means 79 people are all staying within 1 km and they need to ballot for the remaining 73 seats?

Or the 79 people are a mixture of within 1 km, 1-2km and more than 2km?
