I can't get my head round the idea that you are not scuppering the rest of your choices if you put a school that you are unlikely to get into as 1st choice! Give me confidence to do it please!!
Our nearest school is an excellent but quite full on cofe. To cut a long story (dull dull dull) shortish, I really love a school that is much further away and doubt that we will make it as its oversubscribed. But want to try for it as first choice as there is always a chance!
BUT IF I put the (nearest) cofe one 2nd choice will I really still have as good a chance of getting in as if I had put it 1st choice? As it stands we are in their parish and stand a good chance of getting in and I would hate to ruin this chance by putting the other one over it. But would hate to miss getting the other school out of fear....
I couldn't find this on the board so guess I am the only one paranoid and suspicious here.
