:yikes: Does that mean to say also tat, there is no limitations as to how many applicants apply for one particular school? Like a sch could haf 90% seats taken up?

That is correct.

Grossly unfair isn't it, but I had commented in a different thread on this and basically got brushed off.

Phase 1 is for siblings - I think it is fair to say parents wants kids in same school for convenience of picking up, etc. No reason why there should be a limit to this.

Phase 2A is for school advisory board member, staff and alumni - These group is seen to have contributed to the school, thus the priority accorded. It will mainly affect the \"older\" schools who have huge following of alumni.

Singapore has more than enough schools to cater to all school going kids. It is just which school that the parents want for their kids. If you insist in going after the very popular schools, then of course the competition is keen and you need to put in the effort to work out your plan and strategy.

Sometimes, popular schools may not be the best / suit the kids. I've seen so many cases whereby friends regretted their decision to place kids in those schools.

[quote=\"LKVM\"]yes u r right

Theoretically u r right...
Logically u r wrong...
cos' if not much applicants in P2B... means not popular/no demand... then there'll be lesser applicants in P2C

There are cases whereby there's some vacancies from P2B and balloting in P2C [/quote]yes, at least my dd school is one of them... the reason is they can control the PV intake for P2B but they can't control the number of applicants in P2C.....

For Phase 1 and Phase 2, there's no quota, so in theory, the only limit is the number of vacancies. For example last year for CHS, at the end of phase2, there were only 18 vacancies left for P2B and P2C. So each phase had 9 vacancies.

:yikes: so few vacancies left.. for P2B and P2C :faint:

usually those super hot schools like CHS will have high number of applicants in P1, P2A1/2 (all silbings and parents related to the sch) and low in P2B and P2C (only within 1km stands a chance)...

Today I went to NCP, I saw some of the parents still came to register under phase 1 at around 12.25pm.

Interesting..

For us, we were given a form before Phase 1. We've to indicate if we intend to register or if we've a child who is eligible to register however we are not registering.

Once we indicate our intention to register, the school actually distributed the application form and we had to submit before school hols.

If you are unsure, just call the school admin to confirm. I did that ytd as I told them that just in case of some freak accident, they missed out my dd's name, I still got chance in 2A. The school confirmed they have not issued the notification letter. This usually take some time.
