PLEASE HELP! WILL MY DAUGHTER GET IN TO QMHS?
SHE HAS A RANK OF 203 AND WE ARE TOLD THAT LAST YEAR THE 268 RANKED CHILD GOT A PLACE. WE HAVE ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER FROM WGHS THAT SAYS THAT SHE IS RANKED 158 AND LAST YEAR RANK 146 PLACED CHILD WAS OFFERED A PLACE INITIALLY. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM.
i)SHE HAS A DIFFERENT RANK FOR BOTH SCHOOLS-HIGHER FOR WOLVERHAMPTON BUT IS SHE MORE LIKELY TO GET A PLACE IN WALSALL? HOW DOES THAT WORK?
ii)HOW WILL THE NEW SYSTEM IMPACT ON RANKING AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF A PLACE? AS THERE ARE 112 PLACES IN WALSALL DOES THAT MEAN ROUGHLY 90 GIRLS WILL HAVE TO DECLINE A PLACE FOR MINE TO GET IN?
iii) IS SHE MORE LIKELY TO GET A PLACE IF WEPUT WALSALL FIRST AS OPPOSED TO SAY SECOND OR THIRD?
thanks ,
STRESSED & SLEEPLESS

I can't help with the question - but can I suggest you edit your post into lowercase letters? Capitals like this as seen as shouting on emails/ forums - and it also makes it pretty difficult to read! You may get more response then.

Re: PLEASE HELP! WILL MY DAUGHTER GET IN TO QMHS?
Presumably different number of girls applying to each? Also more places available at one of the schools - sorry not clear from your question which is whichthetford wrote:SHE HAS A RANK OF 203 AND WE ARE TOLD THAT LAST YEAR THE 268 RANKED CHILD GOT A PLACE.

like you many people will have their eyes on more than one school. including Newport , KEF, KEHS etc - each girls can only go to one school next year so many places will be disregarded - clearly what has happened in previous years

still not clear which is walsall - is that the 203? - It makes no difference where you put a school on the CAF - the school don;t know, they don;t get sent a list of people who put them first - just a list of all those who have put them somewhere - you MUST put the school you want first and not a safety net school first as that is what you will get - where do you want her to go?

Hi Thetford,
VZA
If all other factors (number of applicants and their order of preferences ) are similar to the last year, this mean that your DD will be offered a place at QMHS-G.SHE HAS A RANK OF 203 AND WE ARE TOLD THAT LAST YEAR THE 268 RANKED CHILD GOT A PLACE.
Again, if all other factors are similar to the last year, this means that your dd might be offered a place at the initial stage. However, if no offer at the initial stage, she will be 12th on the waiting list.WE HAVE ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER FROM WGHS THAT SAYS THAT SHE IS RANKED 158 AND LAST YEAR RANK 146.

I would say your DD will almost certainly get a place into QM. Also very good chance that she might get into WG, as schools are offering more places ths year. Dont worry too much, you wld be fine.

Re: PLEASE HELP! WILL MY DAUGHTER GET IN TO QMHS?
Each school will have a different ranking bcs the ranking is NOT out of all applicants who took the consortium test, rather OUT OF APPLICANTS WHO TICKED FOR THAT SCHOOL.
