        There will be balloting from P2A onwards so long as demand > supply, even by one.

            thanks much
            can anyone help confirm
            the school will accept all according to the nationality (SC policy), follow by the home distance then hold ballot for the rest for the above example?

            eg. 1
            120 vacancies
            100 SC - regardless of distance (all accepted?)
            25 PR - will be according to the home distance or ballot???

            so the 25PR will be under ballot?

            and if

            eg. 2
            120 vacancies
            125 SC - will be filtered out by distance?
            80SC < 1KM(all accepted)
            25SC < 2KM (all accepted)
            20SC > 2KM (have to ballot?) :?

              Grab waitlist priority first, then see how things develops.

                  25 PRs - depending on whether these 25 fall in the within 1 km category.

                  Assume the following:

                  < 1 km - 10
                  1-2 km - 10
                  > 2 km - 5

                  Since there are only 20 vacancies left, all the 20 PRs in the < 1 km and 1-2 km categories get in. The 5 staying beyond 2 km will be unsuccessful.

                  On the other hand, if all the 25 PRs stay within 1 km from the school, yes, these 25 PRs will ballot for the 20 places available.

                  20SC > 2KM (have to ballot?) :?
                  < 1 km - 80 --> all accepted
                  1-2 km - 25 --> all accepted
                  > 2 km - 20 --> 20 applicants balloting for 15 places
