[quote=\"Sylf79\"]Hai, the phase 2b registration will start this Thursday.. anyone can tell me if coming to register morning or afternoon make a different?

it does - according to game theory.

imagine 19 out of 20 slots filled.
you go in the before the closing hours for lunch, be the 20th applicant.

the other person, 100% same situation as you, sees that 20 out of 20 slots taken.
don't dare to apply thus applying for another school.

in the end, you get your slot, the other person doesn't. (assuming that the registration closes with no more new applicants after #20)

I'm sure that are many scenarios but the above is one possibility too.

i feel in this dragon yr if there is no backup for the parents, they will juz reg and risk for balloting at least the lucky draw ticket is valid lolz... i aso reg 1st day at 2A2 in RMPS earlier morn yet it did not scare of other parents haha so many reg and end up i am the one who dun wan to risk so i withdraw of coz other parents may benefit out of this...[/quote]Was there another school you can register for in 2A2?

[quote=\"XiaoZhuZhuPaPa\"]Hi, I am a grassroot leader applying to SCGS for my daughter under phase 2B and I am living within 1km of the school. Is there a chance that there will be balloting. I reaslized from your table that there is only 29 places up for grabs in phase 2B when I thought that it would around 38. Is there any other schools that we can apply in the Tanjong Pagar GRC that is affiliated to its secondary school as we do not have a back up plan if SCGS for phase 2B does not work out. Phase 2C seems to be very competitive. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you very much.

For Tanjong Pagar GRC, i think alexandra primary, zhangde, cantonment, queenstown are within the GRC (i used the hybrid mode of the https://www.onemap.sg/ with the GRC electoral so i couldnt be sure if i read the map correctly) I think its easier for check the GRC directly.

As to your question for the SCGS balloting in 2B. it could be rather close call.
This year TUR is 71%

From the previous years stats: https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/novena/
SCGS usually has a balloting if the TUR at the end of 2A is 71% or more.

However the past 3 years applicants for 2B is 16, 22, 28 (for 2017, 2016, 2015 respectively) since the implementation of the 30th month rule. There are other girls schools under 2C with affiliation (not in Tanjong Pagar GRC) that may be possible but we leave it till after the 2B (hopefully you already entered into SCGS by then). In summary, i think it could be close, and if there is a balloting needed, will you opt for it? or you go for the other ones within the GRC? If you have work so hard for this position, you may have to bite the bullet and go for it even if there is a need for balloting.

All the best.

Dear Madam,
I have managed to secure my girl in RMPS under phase 2A2. However, I would still prefer to put my girl in either SCGS or MGS in Bukit Timah as I live around the west coast area. I am living more than 2 km from SCGS. What is your feeling and chances of 2C ballotting for APP outside of 2KM this year for both SCGS and MGS?

Thanks! :?[/quote]Also note that you have to withdraw your girl from RMPS in order to apply any other schools in Phase 2C. Have to consider whether it is worth the risk.
