Yup. It's the twins...

My girl also admitted to MGS too
41 applicants <1km for 40 places
but 2 applicants are twins so counted as 40!
This year both ACSJ and MGS got 'twins effect'

Acsp has 26 vying for 24 places. Any chance there are 2 pairs of twins there? If only... Haha

No balloting for acsp too.
3\tAnglo-Chinese School (Primary)\tThe school has places for only SC children residing within 1km of the school. No balloting will be conducted.

Really? ACSP informed me to go for balloting this morning..

from what i heard its balloting as one guy who just came at the last minute . demanded to be registered , first they said no as he was late .. ... so no choice the applicants have to go a ballot 48 applicants vs 47 places ... bit annoying ,, but good luck guys and gals on friday

Why they change their mind? was he later than 4.30 pm?

i dont know why everyone keep saying he was late
for what i know, he make it on time anyway, congrats to everyone

Yes, my heartfelt congratulations indeed to all phase 2B parents of ACSJ. It was a very close call indeed and what crucially made a difference was a parent graciously pulling out her application at the very last minute.

My concern for her is by doing so if she missed the 2B phase entirely for applying for other schools in the area or she will be taking her chance again at the 2C phase.

I believe she had already secured a place at SJIJ at phase 2B but probably preferred to switch to ACSJ. But regardless, it was very gracious of her indeed.

She switched to acsp as her registered add is within 1km for both acsj and acsp.

since balloting conducted for both school, she would like to try her luck with acsp first.
Evan she failed in phase2b in acsp ballot, she was still able to register under phase 2c with acsj again. I was at acsp on Tuesday, the lady came in at 4.10pm and making our applicants increased from 26 to 27. Finally, there was another mummy who < 1km pulled out her application immediately and would rush to another school for registration. Due to the deregistration took times, her hubby kept calling her from another school.It was like a drama, the admin staff worried if they deregister her son, she has insufficient time to do registration again. Finally, the deregistration done at 4.15pm.

Anyway, thanks for the mummy withdrawal and making our acsp balloting less competitive. Hopefully, she has sufficient time to register her son with another school.

This is exactly the same scenario for what I did last year.


I deregistered my son from ACSP at around 4.10pm, took me 5 mins and I managed to reach ACSJ at 4.20pm and registered my son under Phase 2C. I was rushing like mad.

It was a close shave I swear I will never gonna do this ever.

If your other kid is a boy, you will never have to do this again

It all worked out for the best for acsj parents
