I’m not familiar with Yishun schools, but why is Northland so popular? They are the most oversubscribed sch in sg?!

Thousands of new families move in the last 2 years thanks to BTO all within 1km of northland but may not be likely to have sibling alrdy in sch.

Even Naval base got big bump but my guess is all the PRs apply there

not much choice, probably Naval Base. others are all 1-2km for us so don't think there will be any spots left for North View unless we withdraw now. our daughter's best friend's parents also confirmed Chongfu is balloting <1km so they are going straight for Naval base.

you also < 1km for Naval Base? last yr, 2CS Naval Base has balloting for SC 1-2km.

Yes <1km. But now I saw their registration nos. I also scared. Confirm got 160+ rejects from Northland and now only 40 places left at Naval base. If they all 2nd choice at Naval base then also lotto for us. Thursday must take leave again and decide... current Naval base nos. must be a lot of PRs

This is BTO+dragon effect, so many new families just moved into this area in last 3 years even Naval base is as popular as all the others

[quote=\"Mickeygal23\"]anyone has numbers for northland and north view?

we walk in at northland this morning. verbally told about 80 registered online. we saw about 20-30 couple registering, dunno how many came before we arrived. chance is 1/4 at most. already advised only <1km should bother (I think they turn away one couple, or else they gave up on the spot)

which school is your backup for 2CS? i'm also within 1km of Northland.
Last yr 200 fight for 51 vacancies. Fierce fight.[/quote]not much choice, probably Naval Base. others are all 1-2km for us so don't think there will be any spots left for North View unless we withdraw now. our daughter's best friend's parents also confirmed Chongfu is balloting <1km so they are going straight for Naval base.
