Folks - am seeking a quick bit of advice on a worst case scenario before filling in the CAF. I have read up the really useful and informed views on here, but not actually found a view on this particular issue.
As previously posted, DD scored a 218 and we are Southern Priority Circle / on time / in catchment etc. Based on my own data mining, and the great supply of info here, it looks like the AQSs will rise this year, but based on her overall ranking of 866 and the movement on waitlists etc. it could be that if we sat it out we could be in a position to get an SGGS place by Sept - certainly not at first pass with this score. We could probably squeeze into an auto-AGS place with a 218 - but maybe tight if AQS rises a lot
So my nightmare scenario is, if we choose SGGS first, and AGS second, and don't get an automatic AGS place in March would we be waitlisted for SGGS as choice #1, and not for AGS as choice #2 ?
If so, and the waitlists do not allow an SGGS place then we would surely miss out on both ?
Any thoughts on this possible horrible situation ? Thanks
In the scenario you have posted:
1 - SGGS
2 - AGS
3-5 schools x, y, z
you won't know whether or not you would have got a place at AGS, if you do qualify for SGGS.
If you don't initially qualify for an offer from either of those schools, you can go on the waiting list for both - and appeal as well, if you decide to. The same goes for any of schools x, y or z you are not offered - you can ask to go on the waiting list for lower preference schools, but to be able to appeal for school z when you had been offered school y, you would have make a new, late application, or ask for the order of your preferences to be amended. You can only appeal if you have been turned down, which you haven't been if you could be allocated a higher preference.
