THC:

Hi Lonejean - really panic when you mentioned queue no was 159. i called NHPS to check but unable to find out immediately, she advised to call back 30min later for P2A2 updates.


Hopefully Mummy of 3 is correct, 240 less 159 = 81. :xedfingers:

THC, did you manage to get any information from you phone call to NHPS? Getting really nervous now!

THC:

I can understand why some parents felt getting balloted successfully is better than striking lottery now. Pretty unique Singapore experience.

I had the feelings for last year. Was ballot out during P2B (unlucky 6). Then 2 days before orientation, got vacancy from the school.
Now i know what is \" Xi Qi Er Qi \" and is better than striking the 10 million ToTo.

Based on experience if there are 120 vacancies and 123 or 125 apply , will the school tend to hold ballot or just accept all? Need advice, tried to ask the school directly but got earful from the staff


thanks much

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

Assume u referring to Phase 2b/2c…well, as earlier phases, distance based go first, then remaining, ballot…

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?) :?

anyone have the latest Q no. for RSS?

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.

weyw:

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?) :?

< 1 km - 80 --> all accepted
1-2 km - 25 --> all accepted
> 2 km - 20 --> 20 applicants balloting for 15 places
