Anxious parents (and son) needing advice

[mike1880]

And some people will even manage to fill all 6 preferences with GS; but the average is about 2.

[Paramjeet]

In that case what happens with worse case and all 6 GS don't offer? Does candidate get onto local school waiting list?

[Happy dad]

You get offered the closest one with a space.

[Paramjeet]

Which again won't be the closest one; advice is to put local one down on the form

[Happy dad]

Indeed. So my CAF changes again as the sensible option is to put one "sure thing" down.

[Paramjeet]

Mildest of hints.. You're welcome

[Happy dad]

And here was me thinking that the new process would make it all easier.

[nervousmom]

You must make sure you put your 'sure thing' down as your last choice, because if you don't and for some reason don't get a GS you will be offered the closest school with spaces, which could be the back end of nowhere

I would suggest based on Mike analyis QS for CHB will be 234-239.does any one disagree

I think the old system of not knowing must have been better, do the exam and then a yes or no! This system is just mythering everyone and no one is any the wiser anyway! Suppose worse as first year, next year be less anxious for people!
