Hi alng,

So Phase 2B for RGPS and SCGS is the same - guaranteed a seat. That's nice.

I am not too sure about RGPS. SCGS has just started to accept phase 2B PV so not much competition yet. I am not sure for subsequent years.

Dont be too sure about RGPS yet. Although it has never balloted under 2B before, do note that the number of applicants this year under 2B was 62, which was exactly equal to the number of vacancies available for 2B. So unless they cut down their PV intake drastically, else it is quite risky for subsequent years.

You see they never ballot for those staying within 2km under 2C in previous years, yet there was balloting this year for those staying within 1km even!

Even Joe Augustin moved to the new condo beside RGPS although his daughter is already in P3. Singaporeans can afford to pay premium to get into choice schools + govt take in RICH PRs.

[quote=\"Sotong_mum\"]Hi missymorr


I jus called them and they said will check. Could have miss out!

oh great then! hopefully hear good news from you!

Hi missymorr & edrickelleon

Still waiting for their call. Will call them again tomorrow if still no response from them.

It could be that they rejected me as I'm staying > 2 km. In any case, just pray hard as I've already tried my best! [/quote]I've called them last Fri and they said as my registration is in yr 2012, they will let me know my application next Sep

Hi Sotong_mum,

If school rejects your application for PV, it could be the reason that they do not want to do PVs doing for nothing, esp if there is balloting at 1-2km leaving no vacancy for those more than 2km.

Hi janet_lee88

Ya, I was thinking if they reject me, they should also inform me. In any case, as my registration is supposed to be in yr 2012, they will let me know by next Sep :lol: still got hope!

Hi Daddy D

no...from what I understand from them, I'm actually early. When I 1st call them to enquire the application in Aug, they told me that I could go down and take the form. So I proceed with the registration.
