Tiffin boys- Wait list

Hi all

DS is 10th on the list with the same score as last allocated place on offer day. We have independent offers but I feel 10th is worth waiting for.

Sharing here as I imagine others would be in similar positions and would appreciate past years experiences please

I suspect you'll definitely get a place if number 10- good luck!

@alexaismyfriend thank you. The email only came through this morning, they only said: "We expect a further round of offers to a small number of applicants to be made on or soon after 28 March 2025"

Just no idea how much movement there will be this year with VAT, etc.

Have you had another with any more info? We were in a similar situation ( 1 mark less than cut off) a few years ago and the letter said he would def get a place by Easter. We actually got a place about 3 weeks later. Did pay a deposit for an Independent though.

A letter? Not 'another'!
