Do the schools ever find out where you put them on the CAF list

Hi filling in the CAF today and totally panicked. Is it only if you have to appeal that they see the CAF? Do they actually see the form at this stage?

Thanks Tiggytape. I'm wondering why the heads say to put them first like weretrickspotter said earlier?

Either because they don't know how the admissions system works. Or because they are saying that if it's actually where you want to go you should put it first (if you put somewhere else first and get a place there you won't go to that school).

Got through grammar selection but no idea how far up. If tiwards bottom end of the selection my fourth fifth and 6th choices may be full of first choices as all over subscribed that leaves it up to la to give me left over places. Hence panic -don't want 4th to find out at appeal and jeopardise decision.

No, and it makes no difference to the success of your application to that school where you put it in the list.

What is making you panic?

Common application form. No they never see it, not even if you appeal , that's a different form.

Hmm, do you mean where you put them on the preference list?

No, the school don't get to see the list, just that you've put them down.

Sorry, I don't know what CAF is?
