At the end of Day 1, already 5 schools oversubscribed:
- Red Swastika
- Ai Tong
- Nanyang
- Rosyth
- Pei Chun
These kids, I’m guessing they are either children of staff, or children whose elder siblings have already graduated.

Or parents not willing to pay $300 / $500 / $1,000 to the alumni association.[/quote]Maybe I really cannot understand why they would not, for peace of mind.

Cos they think that it will not happen to them… Phase 2A2 got priority.


But now even phase 2A1 needs balloting… Phase 2A2 for popular schools, good luck.

nanyang :-
if those 8 inside that 2A2 had paid up $1000 alumni fees to join 2A1 earlier, then 2A2 would have been bypassed today ; no need to enrol into 2A2, because no more vacancy left.

how many of you here wish you can pay $ 1k to join 2A1, just to get into Nanyang ?

Sg50 babies will be facing even more intensified competition.

SG50 babies total birth rate still lost out to dragon year babies but competition should also be more intensive as compared to other years.

Duh, not everybody is keen on Nanyang lah. But those ex-students who apply for their kids to go there under 2A2, obviously support their old school but refuse to pay, really does not make sense to me

Actually sg50 babies surpassed dragon year.

And they would rather gamble.... Thinking sure in, why waste money.
