Pei Hwa & MGS TUR this year is rather shocking...numbers are high. Those staying more than 2km have to think of backup plan already.

Pei Hwa & MGS TUR this year is rather shocking...numbers are high. Those staying more than 2km have to think of backup plan already.

tomorrow we will see the real numbers...if parents who see no hope start switching choices. Typically MGS has had to ballot at P2B >2km over last two years but this year's numbers are looking scary for MGS.

pardon my ignorance, when will we get to know how many apps under phase 2B are within 1km, 1-2km etc.? after tomorrow or result day next wed?

MGS has always been scary, but this year Pei Hwa is no different. I seriously thought that parents will have an easier time this year, given the lowest birth rate, but how come Pei Hwa had 174 applicants just for Phase 1. As for 2B, first day turn out has oversubscription of 14.


notabox,
I am curious and checking vacancies for a friend.

condos are mushrooming around Pei Hwa and MGS…all within 1 km. Not surprising that the numbers are going up. Moreover PH cut one class…sigh. Must prepare for battle next year.

Hi all,

Have been browsing and never post previously. Seems like MGS has broken its previous record this time. P2B will see balloting for those <1km>1km have no more chance. Really scary. :shock:

My guess is more of balloting for >1km <2km>2km no chance.

It’s scary to see MGS with such overwhelming applicants…at 2B.

I was even thinking of writing in to be on wait list (nearer home), but looks like I can forget about it altogether.

You can always try! My sister called up MGS a few days ago to ask about waiting list and when she queried on her chances, ie. how many students usually withdraw etc., the lady told her very nicely, \"miracles can happen!\" And so my sister is praying for a miracle now.

I told her she should have asked the lady how much a miracle would cost! :evil: Just kidding, of course!
