Apologies, but there was a slight error in our calculation which has been corrected. Everything is in order. But there is indeed a number of schools which people has withdrawn from, and many of these are \"elite\" schools, like NYPS, Nan Chiau and Rosyth! And these happened before the start of Phase 2C, and we continue to see the withdrawals in Day 1 of Phase 2C. It is very strange to see people withdrawing from good schools, for eg. NYPS now has 3 withdrawals. In any case, there will be lots more applicants waiting in the background that will be very thankful.

Wow quite a number of surprises… seems like this year really less applicants

Oops… I’m sorry @Liew. Somehow your post seems to be deleted. But anyway, thanks for noticing the erroneous date.

Yes, demand is indeed noticeably lower this year, but I haven't calculated that yet. There was a big rush to Raffles Girl's Primary on the last day... which resulted in it being oversubscribed for those staying more than 2km away. But still, I think it is a worthwhile switch.

I think RGPS case was partly due to last year's 95 applicants SC < 1km balloting for 90 places. Hence, interested parties this year, especially those > 1km, have probably held back till the last day to make sure there are some vacancies before applying.

ACSJ was a bit of a surprise.

Agree. I also wonder why rgdg ACSJ. Rental prices too unaffordable now?

I doubt rent is a factor.

Considering that both ACSJ and SJIJ are balloting for SC > 2km, I wonder some of those ACSP SC < 1km are feeling a little silly for not shifting to these two schools.

ACSJ is very surprising... Perhaps pple don't want to travel to Tengah in 2030? This coming P1 batch will be P6 in 2030, but I thought parents would still rather adapt than not to apply for the school at all

[marshmallow96]

CHIJ TPY also quite surprising to me… Balloting 1-2km… Same goes for Maha Bohdi though a little bit less surprising.

ACSJ is not the one moving to Tengah. ACSP is.

Which is why i’m also wondering like floppy, why did the <1km folks pick ACSP over ACSJ? GEP status still more important than future kids/grandkids having to travel to Tengah?
