Latest for SCGS :


SC living within 1Km : 50!!!!!

balloting will be conducted on 7 Aug, 9am.

Hmm, I guess more applicants decided to try SCGS after reading what P1mummy has written on her posts.

I posted on the other thread, but will update here as well.

Sji junior 37 <1km, 24 1-2km, vacancy 60, so the 24 will have to ballot for 23.

Given the unique demography of the Novena/Newton area and a reversal of last year's trend, we can see the effect of SCs' absolute priority over PRs fully kicked in SJIJ and ACJS.

Tks , sob balloting for SJI, shld be 24 for 22 places ya since 37 taken up


Oh, there were 60 vacancies when I was there though. Perhaps there has been a withdrawal to bring the number one up from 59.


So the numbers given above are all SC right?

Hi, yes, all SCs.

Hi i was there too so tense!!! Like share market!

The stock market is never as tense as P1 registration. The most you lose in the stock market is money. Here, you're gambling with your children's future if you make the wrong choice or if a decision goes against you.

24 for 22 is still a good chance, 90% success rate

Hi, yes, all SCs.

Glad that there are many vacancies for 1-2km for SJIJ. No chance last year!

So in other words the risk taking behaviour *increased* after reading her post? Doesn't make sense to me. Has anyone even managed to verify her claims?

I'm all for outing cheats, but that doesn't do me any good if my daughter doesn't get in because the chances are even lower now.

It would've been 51 at scgs if I didn't withdraw, and while I was there withdrawing, there was another one applying. So at least 5 more joined the fray assuming there weren't any more withdrawals.

I like the odds at SMPS much better - 55 applicants for 54 seats. I feel for the PRs - I doubt many of them would have been able to switch as many SC applicants came in the last hour. One lady even came in 3 mins before the end and she pushed it to ballot.
