Sorry so many topics on here, not quite sure where to start looking!

It says on our letter that last year a girl in catchment, ranked 135th on the order of merit list was offered a place. Does anyone know what she was ranked before caf forms were submitted?

No ranking was given last year! Only the school knows, hence they mentioned it on the CEM letter.

That is a shame, thanks for your help.

Based on my statistical model (http://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/forum/ ... 4&start=20" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; page 3), a CEM Score of 110.64 would translate into an overall rank of around 159 out of 848 give or take a few. There will be many scores who are out of catchment vying for the 24 on offer, some who will have treated CCHS as mock practice and others who will choose other schools closer to London including Redbridge and those prefer CoCHS/WHSG/SHSG.

Since you are in catchment, I would be extremely surprised if you did not get an offer come March 2014.

Araucana Girl - am willing it to be a 'yes' for your DD; many others on this forum (that you have provided support to) no doubt feel the same :-)

110.02 in catchment gives a ranking of 171 give or take a few, so still very strong odds of an offer :-)

Any hope for a 112.1 ooc to get thru to CCHS? Just did Aangs statistical calculation and got a rank of 135 :( Does not look good enough for OOC.

112.1 does indeed give a rank around 135. Even if I use the less robust and more optimistic statistical model with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 10.69 (this model matches the 300 students above 104 while keeping the mean at 100), that results in a rank of 109.

OOC places are much harder to predict as there is only 24 places available. It really depends who takes up which offer. Going by last year, rank 65 in OOC still got an offer so there is still hope...

I'd put CCHS down as one of the top choices and keep everything crossed. Good luck !
