While 2A folks are awaiting their results, I have done some work on the 2B projection. See the image.

Listed 35 Schools for 2B with balloting risks. A few schools would be too close to call so I didn’t add any balloting zone.
Another 17 have 10 or less buffer, of which 5 schools namely. Gongshang, Red Swastika, St Anthony’s, RGPS, Xinmin has less than 5 buffer.

To put the data into context, most of the schools with 20 vacancies for 2B are traditionally left with 20 spots, so the risk likely to remain unchanged. Joining this “20” list this year are Holy Innocents, Fairfield Methodist, MGS and Northland, as they are balloting within 1km last year, the trend likely to continue with worse off odds.

The actual applicants for some schools may be lower than the projected numbers for cases like SJIJ and CHIJ TPY, since those who stay >2km may opt to apply elsewhere due to low chance. I am unsure how one would be able to know the breakdown of applicants by distance then they apply or people are just applying without the need to know the exact breakdown. For those applying this phase, do note the risk as it may be different from last year.

All the best to the 2Bs next week.

Thanks for sharing this. Just wondering if there is actual data on the no of applicants for each distance? I remember there used to be some statistics posted here with data on the no of applicants for 2B within 1km & 1-2km but the stats were updated till 2017's intake and it's now being removed. I'm trying to find out my probability of getting into SHPS via 2B within 1km.

Distance plays a part in every phase. Fortunately for you, SHPS rarely ballot < 1km in Phase 2B.

Thank you, Floppy. Exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks again for pointing me there.

Hi, I'm an Anglican church member looking to register my DS for St Hilda's Pri, staying within 1km. Understand that at 2B, its usually oversubscribed too, may I know what are the chances of getting into the school and if doing PV would help?

For SHPS:
Anglican - Phase 2B
PV - also Phase 2B
Anglican + PV - still Phase 2B

Hope that helps.

Thanks! I'm aware of this. I'm curious on the history of balloting under 2B for St Hilda's. For balloting under 2B, does distance also plays a part? Anybody know any info for this? Thanks in advance.
