My DD does not want to go to Wilmington girls even though her older sister attends the school and she is happy there. I am concerned that if i make wilmington one of her choices, she might end up being offered a place there when all she wants really is to go to DGGS.I have only listed 3 grammar schools and they are all oversubscribed , I believe.(DGGS, Towley girls and Bexley Gramms).i am yet to submit the CAF. Am I being silly by not including Wilmington or am I my right in doing so to enhance my DD's chance of being offered a place in the school she really wants?
Pls help. I am so confused.
Your DD's chances for DGGS or any school are not enhanced by not putting Wilmington. If you decide to include Wilmington on CAF, it will effectly be a safe choice at the bottom which your DD may get if she does not make it to higher preference oversubscribed schools.

You could possibly explain this to your DD also.
