i always wonder why there is no need for balloting for acs (p) under phase 2b.


seems that the school managed to have the exact no. of applicants for the last 1 or 2 years if i remember correctly. so do these applicants all live within 1 km or ??? :?

Perhaps more people had applied, but withdrew when (a) those living >1km realised that they would not stand a chance since those living within 1km would have taken up all the places; (b) those living within 1km didn't want to have to face a ballot and registered for another school where there would be no balloting (most likely ACJS, since many of those living within 1km of ACPS would also be within 1 or 2 km of ACJS).

yeah, i have the same thoughts.


very lucky for those who live in between the 2 schools, but a headache deciding which one to pick.

I was curious and checked the past 2 years registration history of ACSP. Noticed there were no balloting for P2B for those within 2km but unfortunately no chance for those beyond 2km...........

Hi, I looked at this site


http://www.acsjunior.sg/en/section/805

Am a little puzzled.

For phase 2c, 1-2km only 1 vacancy.

But it says lower down that the balloting phase for phase 2c is 1-2km,
no. of applicants is 76 and unsuccessful applicants is 12. I can't see how these figures add up. Can someone help? I must be missing something obvious (as usual)!

Thanks

Hi,

Number of applicants is 76 for phase 2C. (this refer to the total applicants from ie. includes within 1km, 1-2 and more than 2km)

The available vacancies left for 2C is 64.
Out of 64, 63 are taken up by those staying within 1km
Therefore left with 1 vacancy left over for those staying within 1-2km


76 applicants less 64 successful take-up = 12 unsuccessful applicants.

Which means there should be 13 applicants under 1-2km undergo the balloting for that 1 vacancy.

Errr... Not sure u can understand. Hope this help.

Thanks 2bbtang.


You made it so easy for me to understand.

Hope my kid is smarter than me!

Hello friends, one more question. I was told by someone that one had to stay in an address for 2 years before school starts otherwise one cannot use that address. I was told that this was true of ACS but that person does not know ACJS or ACPS. I had not heard of this before. Is this true?


Thanks
