You're right. That's why I said Beacon this year is more popular than last year.


But comparing the popularity of the 3 schools this year (according to the numbers of applicants (popularity) this year):
1. BPPS
Total applicants 327 from 270 seats = 121%.
2. GPS
Total applicants 302 from 270 seats = 119%.
3. Beacon
Total applicants 269 from 240 seats = 112%.

So I was just saying the stats...

Perhaps there is a rounding error in percentage for GPS, should be 112% as well. Was just thinking mathematically both are oversubscribed by the same 25% in Phase 2C, so the overall total should also be quite similar too, isn't it?

Ahhh... If you're talking about the stats f/ stage C only, you're right, Beacon & GPS is similar, oversubscribed by around 25%-26%.

But the data above that I gave is f/ the total seats fr stage 1 to 2c.

Good luck f/ all who are going through balloting on stage 2c. Wish u all da best!

Sorry I should have been explicit just now, what I meant was 302/270 is 111.9% not 119%.

Ahhhh... Yes, you're right. So both B n GPS is 112%. Interesting. They're in the same rank.

My apology f/ the mistakes...

[quote=\"momocha\"]seems like Beacon is more popular this year than GPS.

Beacon surely gaining more popularity than last year. But comparing to GPS, I think GPS is still more popular than Beacon.

But the top rank is still BPPS. :rahrah:

Some parents like new school, some prefer school with a track record. Both schools are 25% oversubscribed and balloting for <1km. All the best for those who are balloting on Aug 5! :rahrah: :rahrah:[/quote]
Hi, is it right that Beacon will have balloting for <1km? I couldn't find any information for this on MOE website. Appreciate it if anyone can share. Thanks in advance!
