Heard from friend that Xinmin might have to ballot for phase 2A2. She will only know on Thursday morning if required to ballot.

:yikes: :scratchhead:

Why would that happen? Xinmin only had to conduct balloting for P2C previously. Yes, not even P2B. So, is it likely the school will suddenly become sooooo popular?

I thought this type of scenario would only happen to CHS, NYPS, etc. But for Xinmin,......????????

Could be more kids born in year 2005 :xedfingers:

Let's wait for the official results to be out before we start blaming the government. Everything is based on hearsay so far, right?

Chill.

Not possible lah. Phase 2A2 is for alumni. i doubt if there'll be so many alumni with kids born in the same year registering at the school.

That's why I was very surprised when I read that post about Xinmin requiring balloting at P2A2.

That's why it's always good to wait for official results, rather than rely on hearsay.

Absolutely. :hugs: Every year so many rumours go around regarding P1 registration. Rumours which can be easily disputed by reading the MOE website. Practically everything you need to know is on the site. But still people choose to believe hearsay rather than hear from the horses' mouth, so to speak.
