The school of my choice has 119 vacancies for 2(A)2, I called today and 60 have registered. I have this feeling it will go to ballot. If that happens I will withdraw since I live more than 10 km from the school. Can anyone advise if this is a good idea? I understand that if lets say 120 or 121 kids apply for 119 places, management may take in all to save on balloting procedure ... can anybody confirm?


Thanks much

Hmm.. My understadning is that we go by distance. If a;; 121 kids for that 119 places are n teh same distance category and also all are SC, then even if exceed by 1 application, all must ballot. Anyone else have a different understanding, please help enlighten.

I think if its just exceed by 1, they will go without balloting.

You have very good chance, don't worry. If everyone like you going to register on 2nd day, then most of us will be near to heart attack on day 2 because we are all hoping the number will not change much after day one. To be nervous over 119 seats is unnecessary lah....

Hi Ribena-I will be nervous cos it seem very little chance for you.
59 left for 2nd day P2A2, the school must be popular school.
Be it in 2B or 2C, you are out of range especially since looking at current popularity of your choice school.

For such popular school, it will never be 120 over 119 for P2A2 and other subsequent phases. At 2B, it will over subscribed, same for 2C.

Hi Ribena I might have misunderstood your comments.
If u are registrating under P2A2, then no worries.

Depends on school. Most schools will ballot.

NYPS has a history of being more flexible in this area
