Thanks that's so useful to know. Argghg. You don't know what time Consortium schools are hoping to email do you?
Last year I know Channing and SHHS only emailed successful applicants. Presumably it's everyone this year.
Do you know how quickly Highgate's offers have historically exploded and whether they give some sort of warning as to when you have to accept by or if places are running out? Is it before the offer holders morning?
We were in this position 2 years ago....every year children from our primary school sit for Highgate (among many other schools)....I can tell you that Highgate offers have not exploded for at least the last 3 years because I know children from our school who were on the waiting list and they all received places. Highgate gain a lot of information on which other schools their candidates are sitting for and so, like many other schools, they have a good sense of which families will accept their places.
Two years ago the results arrived on the Friday of half term & the Offer Holder day was a few days later on the Tuesday....they went to the waiting list a week after that.
Earningaplace - sounds like you are going to be spoilt for choice - one of the disadvantages (and advantages) of sitting so many exams!
Good luck, it feels like such a long wait, agonising I know!
