[quote=\"phtthp\"]Wah jia lut ACS junior ballot liao! This year parents go all out to try. Going forward ACS j very fierce! Barker no hope ; too limited vacancies

Phtthp,
Where did you get the info that acs junior has to ballot? My understanding is no balloting at all, and all 54 seats are taken up by <2km.

Just called ACSJ and confirm that there will be balloting for those >2km.. 22 applicants for 1 vacancy.. In God's favour, 1 blessed child will be given the seat :xedfingers:[/quote]Ohhh... 1 seat for balloting? Do you have the breakdown? When I was there, the staff announced no balloting. Probably, there is a withdrawal?

not sure about that.. just called to ask about the P2B registration outcome and was told that balloting will be carried out for >2km..

anyway, MOE's website has published those schools that need to carry out balloting.. http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/balloting/

Ok I clocking some credits here.

Called acs jr and confirmed.

remember my previous post on 20 jul afternoon.
initial update: 40 within 1km (38 SC 2 PR)
this number eventually increased to 43 within 1km and 11 1-2km. at end of registration.
Hence 43+11 = 54 seats. but! 1of the 43 is a PR. (42 SC 1 PR). Hence that seat has to be taken out for out of 2km to ballot.

Honestly that was the question some parents were asking previously, why are the 2 PR (initially, 1 must have withdrawn knowing his chances) get to keep their seats. and sch also announced no balloting required. I was puzzled but too relieved to think much then.

The staff has confirmed that the 1 PR place has to be given out for the lottery draw.

hope this helps to clear the confusion.

Info is accurate as dbl checked with sch.
