Still have people who will drop out.. some after getting queue number realise price is too high, cannot manage the loan, cannot get dream unit etc etc. I think even those super popular ones like Dawson had 10% dropout rate


Hi Kookymonster, even though my Q no. is within the range, but is not a good no.: 5XX / 671 . Therefore, this is definitely a positive info for me. Well ~ just hope for the best ya. If I'm lucky enough to get a good unit at Dakota, will you be one of my future neighbor ? :s8:

hi guys just got the results of my bto application for Dakota Breeze 4-room flat.
772/671. i'm a first-timer with MCPS.
any idea if i can get a mid-floor unit? or it's something i should not even consider at this point?
what is the usual take up rate for such estates (popular, mature)?
If this article is relatively accurate, would i still be able to acquire a unit of my choice (6 floor and above)?
couldn't post the link but the headline of the ST article is [2 in 5 don't pick hdb flat after being shortlisted]
share your thoughts.

Mid floor really a bit hard, those at tail end within flat supply can probably still hope for level 5 at less popular stacks, 15 percent outside maybe a bit difficult.

10 percent drop out for mature and 30 for non mature is about right, again this is an average figure, there are barely any dropouts at the start and it accelerates after the two thirds mark or so.

It's tough for mature estates given your number for mid floor. However, if you don't mind low floors, it should still be possible.

I suggest you start by following the selection for the first 20% then mark out the most unpopular stacks and go from there.

Pattern has always been to start slow, like 5 a day, then slowly ramp up to 10 or 15 a day as more officers complete their other projects.
