[winth]

Hi,


Should there be a withdrawal on day 1 of phase 2C at XYZ school. And this same parent registers on day 1 at ABC school. What will be the impact of system of XYZ and ABC school after day 1 when ‘stock market’, err, I mean phase 2c of day 1 closes? Able to clarify?

Assuming:
XYZ is at 100 vacancies for phase 2c.
ABC is at 100 vacancies for phase 2c.

Hi Winth!

XYZ will have 101 vacancies for Phase 2C.

ABC will still have 100 vacancies for Phase 2C.

Hi Winth!


I would view it as follow:-

XYZ will have 99 vacancies for Phase 2C.

ABC will still have 101 vacancies for Phase 2C.

oic, which means it’ll be immediately captured as a vacancy and reflected by system.


that’s good. thanks.

Yes, the centralized system captures the withdrawal immediately.

Maybe those take part in Phase 2C see whether the school using any PC a not in the registration.

All the schools are linked to the central system at MOE. Every application and withdrawal is captured.

:lol: Thanks RRMummy, been learning quite a bit as I have been calling the schools and also reading all posts rather carefully. Thanks for the wishes....I really would prefer CHIJ Bkt Timah, but sadly, its not going to materialize. By the way, I check with you. I am also watching Princess E and there are 104 places for 2C as confirmed by the school. I am within 1-2km. Even the clerk said i stand very high chances. What do you think?

Base on past history, http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/bukit-batok, Princess E has balloting for <1km since 2006 to 2008. Though the scenario is improving each year, but what are likely left over for balloting for 1-2km this year? IMO, very risky.
Moreever base on my calculation, the vacancies for phase 2C in 2008 was 143 places as oppose to this year 104 places. The upside is this year the takeup rate is slower.

The thing is basing on past history is just a guide.
I also plan my strategy base on past history with maris stella. History says, Maris Stella phase 2B had never completely fill up, so I was pretty confident we would ge tit, a sure thing. Until yesterday result upset the historical trend with 99 applying for 98 places. But luckily, last heard there's no need fot balloting...

Good luck to whichever school you choose.
