I went through balloting in phase2c last year and had backup school in mind however its too much pressurizing to go through balloting[/quote]hi LKVM,

can share your balloting experience? I am most likely in same situation, ie. P2A2 and P2B. Hope to mentally prepare what to expect during the withdrawal and application procedure.

from what i know, u hv to cancel ur application with X sch first before u go on with the application for Y sch. cant be done on the same day as the registration dates for the phrases are different.


u hv to cancel with X sch during the registration period for phrase 2A2, then wait for phrase 2C for registration with Y sch.

any parent out there can confirm on this?

You are wrong.

Apply with School X during P2A. On the last day of P2C, if you decide to apply with School Y, cancel your application with School X first before you apply with School Y.

Hi,
then let's say what if your first choice is under phase 2C but you have a privilege to register at Phase 2A?? DO you register at phase 2A first and then try phase 2C for your first choice school?? but then you say have to cancel the first choice then can register for the next scho... then how you know if you could get into the first choice if you cancel earlier regn???
HELP HELP!

You register with the school which your child qualifies under P2A first.

Then, come P2C, you monitor the situation, and on the last day, if you decide to try for P2C, you must withdraw your application with the school that you applied at P2A first before you are allowed to apply with your first choice school in P2C.

If you register for one school at Phase 2A and decide you want to try out for another school at Phase 2C, what you need to do is BEFORE you apply for the school at Phase 2C, you withdraw from the first school you applied for at 2A. You can do this at any time, up to the minutes before you submit your second school at 2C. The programme will only allow you to hold one spot in the system at any time. So only if you give up your 2A spot can you register your 2C spot.

So if you give up 2A and register for 2C only to find out that you didn't get 2C, you'll be out of both schools.

I would do what I think you're intending to do. Register at the school in 2A first. Then monitor the situation at the hotter school in 2C. If you're confident that you will be able to successfully register your kid in the second school without balloting, withdraw from the school at 2A and register at 2C. Bear in mind that a number of parents will probably have the same idea as you so there'll be an influx of registrations coming in at the last minute for Phase 2C. So you might end up with a balloting situation in the last few minutes.
