God blessed. Got into ACSP. 😊

Congratulations to you!

I guess the balloting rate for rgps will be around 77 out if 90, still good chance

This is just ridiculous, must feedback to MOE or MP....what is the purpose of hiding the data and cause unnecessary stress to parents ..

6 August 2020, 4.30 pm, was the last day of Phase 2C of P1 registration

the next day, 7 August, after Phase 2C was entirely over, closed, called up the school to inquire, which distance range (for SC) entered balloting ? RGPS admin replied, \"we don't have the data\"

This year is different. I was told that many parents double registered using the online form and did not withdraw from the school they registered earlier. Hence many schools are waiting for MOE to confirm the list of students for them.[/quote]Then why other schools gave out the data to parents who call to enquire

[quote=richardtansingapore post_id=1989148 time=1596507045 user_id=179520]Called the school. The school is not sharing the distance breakdown for 2C. That'll make it difficult to make an informed decision on whether to apply for RGPS. If there's no chance at all or poor balloting odds, at least the parents can apply elsewhere instead for 2C. Unlike in previous years, when parents can visit the school to see the distance breakdown for themselves.

Now, another far more impt question to ask is, instead of asking for detailed number break down by distance, which from this covid year onwards, no admin staff in any school going to disclose to parents is, to ask Rgps admin directly, specifically -

\"My daughter is SC, more than 2 km. May I know, which distance range is balloting now ? Is it SC (1 to 2 km) ? If Yes, then I must quickly withdraw, while I still got time. I need to know the answer, this is very important to me, because if i no chance to ballot, I must quickly go to another school now to apply, because I cannot avoid to waste my precious 2C chance. You don't give me the numbers break down , never mind. I can still accept. But I need to know, for SC more than 2 km, in or out, in terms of balloting chance? Please show empathy ! \"

All SC more than 2 km, be proactive, don't expect the school to call u up to withdraw

Because

In that last critical hour, last day of Phase 2C (3.30 pm to 4.30 pm closing time), anything can happen. You won't know, if there are a lot of applicants apply online within 1 km, or within 1 to 2 km, their distance range earlier before you. Also, during this last critical hour, it is impossible to expect Rgps admin to call you all up one by one, because they are very busy handling last minute registration. Thus, please be on your toes, stay alert during that last one hour action (3.30 pm to 4.30 pm), last day of 2C

=======================

Another important thing-

All (SC more than 2 km),

Please call the school after lunch, ask specifically :
which distance range, to ballot?

Because

if you call around that last adrenalin-rushing panic hour, last day 2C (3.45 pm to 4.30 pm), worried that

the school phone line may be engaged, cannot get through, because so many other parents are also dialling in, too

Thanks for the advice phtthp. Unfortunately, I called to ask if there would be any balloting, and which distance range would it be, and they were not willing to divulge the information. :([/quote] This is just ridiculous, must feedback to MOE or MP....what is the purpose of hiding the data and cause unnecessary stress to parents ..

[quote=\"zac's mum\" post_id=1989575 time=1596638270 user_id=53606]Yes. Skip the drama. RGPS is likely to ballot 1-2km this year.

In any case, it’s not worth travelling half way across the island for RGPS when u have a girls school across the road from you. Sleep is important to grow the brain anyway.

Zac's mum, i couldnt comprehend. Of the 171 folks who applied for RGPS and if about 120 is staying within 2km and of the 120, within 1km number is 50. Why would 51 folks (more than 2km or PRs) apply for nothing? Or its just a perception and lack of visibility?

unsubstantiated optimism + lack of visibility + lack of experience/research[/quote]you know what, i just called RGPS, they don't even want to share how many SC within 1KM have applied the 2C. I don't get it why the school doesn't want to give parents more visibility given it has been oversubscribed.
