        MOE would look at your score first. MOE would rank every pupil who would have taken PSLE this year.

        If lets say Child A is placed one rank higher than you.He places River Valley as third choice. His first two choices of lets say RI and HCI are full so he gets into RV.
        After he is being allocated a school, it would then be your turn.
        After you've been allocated a school from one of your six choices, it is only then it will be the next pupil's turn.

        You get what i mean ?

        I think your chances of getting into RV is quite good. In the event of you not being able to get into RV or CHIJ, you would be posted to Nan Hua (COP 242).

        ^^

        yes i got it! thanks i finally got it! :thankyou: :thankyou: :thankyou: :goodpost:

              Score first, compared to other people applying for that choice. It's quite simple really.

              Let's say you make the market-determined cut off for RV. This would be because RV has n places and your score puts you within that number of places.

              But supposing you don't get into those n places. Then you will be bumped to whichever of your choices (in the order you put) still has places.

              So you have to ask the question, \"After 1 round, will CHIJSN still have places?\" Then you have to ask, \"After 2 rounds, will Nanhua still have places?\"

              Now, if you choose schools with affiliation (like CHIJ schools, MGS, SCGS), they already have fewer places because of that. So it is quite pointless to choose such schools for any place below 1st choice. Same for schools with DSA. IP schools are also likely to be oversubscribed.

              So my personal reasoning is that your choices might be a bit of a waste. Given that your score is 249+3, you get about ONE whack at an SAP school at 252, then a second whack at a non-SAP school with COP around 245+, maybe. After that, better to look for steadily decreasing COP (242 and below) in schools that don't have 'other commitments'.

              The market may have some quirks in it, so funny things can happen. I'm also not ruling out appeals though; that is a different question entirely...
