RRMummy:

IMHO, you might want to weigh your options carefully and choose to register in a school that will not put you in a balloting situation

can RRMummy or any one for the matter, tell me or rather teach me hw to weigh my chances for P2C supp... without balloting..

Back up schs for P2C supp as follows:

Sch P2C vacancies P2C regisered Bal

aaa 124 72 52
bbb 115 38 77
ccc 149 39 110
ddd 120 69 51
eee 112 68 44
fff 107 44 63
ggg 123 62 61

my back up sch is sch ggg... ideal?

i did mention that maybe a few pages before you. it's the first time i see MOE putting up such a message. :yikes: they sure are monitoring the sentiments on the ground.

Wonder if there will be anything with regard to this in the coming rally speech on 14 Aug.

[poppy15]

i wonder if MOE can even facilitate my admission nw or nt, even before P2C supp.. sianz leh... still hv to wait next week for P2C supp registration to begin... why cant they make it today.... then i can enjoy my National Day... :sad:

[swpf]

i am very sad and disappointed. my dd didnt manage to get into my 1st choice :s

have to wait for phase 2c (s).
felt sorry for my dd. i wonder did i make a wrong choice for her…
my hb was more disappointed than me. he witnessed the balloting

[yqyq]

OMG…this heart attack process, I went thru b4…once is enough…I burst when my dd name been called.


B4 ballot…the few nites cant sleep at all…

:lightrod: :faint: I was not successful in the ballot too. Waited extra 45 mins because there was an error in the ballot slips and they actually call out almost 300 names from the ballot box to return each slip in order to fish out the wrong ballot slip. Thereafter everyone drop their slips into the ballot box again to start the balloting process. What the....


Hope my backup plan works.

my back up sch is sch ggg... ideal?

poppy15, at this point I can't really tell if ggg is ideal.

As we are only talking general terms, can only see that eee, aaa, ddd have a higher chance of balloting while bbb and ddd dound to have excess.

Some questions in mind are:
- Does ggg have a history of balloting at Phase 2Csupp?
If yes, then balloting will surely happen this year.

- Next question, balloting at what distance?
If you are less than this distance, then your risk is lower and you might get away without a balloting

- Does ggg have a history of balance after Phase 2Csupp?
If yes, your chances are again higher, especially if you stay within 1km

etc etc..

Roughly, this is what I would do:
1. Use past years #s as a RELATIVE comparison against the # for this year..
2. Evaluate the distance if balloting was a history.
3. Look at the number of over-subsription in your area. Gauge the distance and risk.
3. Determining your Plan B, Plan C and Plan D
4. Check the actual registration # and distance of applications on registration days.
5. Register in Plan B/C/D that has no balloting

Am I making sense to you?

Wow this is terrible. Which school is this? How could they made such an error?

Have they started balloting and found out the error?
