May 2018 SBF, I applied using MCPS for BB 4R.
Didn't even get a number.

This Nov 2018 SBF, I applied using MCPS for BB 5R, got queue 67/51.

Not bad le! May 18 we applied BB SBF w MCPS, no Q# at all for 4 rm. Nov 18 we applied w MCPS, got Q# 16X/101 for 4rm.

If this pattern continues, maybe i should apply BB SBF 3rd time, to get better Q#

All 4 times SBF and ROF? May I ask if you apply under MCPS? I thinking MCPS more competitive and I apply BB with no priority and didn't get a queue.

All 4 times, we used MCPS.

1st time, went for TWV - after seeing 10x oversubscribed, knew tt it would be tough. Indeed, no Q# despite priority.

2nd time, went for BB SBF. 7x oversubscribed and again, no Q# despite priority.

3rd time, went for ROF. Gotten 150X with over 500+ available units for Chinese... no chance at all.

4th time, BB SBF this past Nov - then finally got a Q# tt is nearer the no of available units. Even then, chances of getting a unit with 16X/101 is like not much hope.

So sian. The priority MCPS didnt help in our case.

70% is first timers? Or MCPS?
Sigh, even with MCPS this system doesn't benefit me at all.

Don't be distracted by him. He's being political here.
95% for first timers. 50% of flat supply for PPS and 30% flat supply for MCPS. 5% flat supply for 2nd timers.

My fiancee and I might apply for another ballot in Feb 2019.
Will look at what's available in the ROF exercise.
You probably should too!

I will! Cos' just one week of waiting for results. Am curious about May BTO now. I think easier to get BTO than SBF. Just tt the waiting time may not be tt worth it since my fiance n i arent tt young anymore.

Yes yes the MCPS does work its just that those that apply to live WITH parents get first priority. so if you have X amount of applications that all apply to live WITH that is just nice 30% of the flats available, there will be nothing left for those that apply to live NEAR.:s22:
