Has anyone received an offer from a 7+ school waitlist?
My DD is on a waitlist for a school we really liked and I am unsure if we have any realistic chance of being contacted or if many offers are allocated this way. Timing-wise, I was also unsure when waitlists generally might be expected to move. I was hoping (perhaps naively) that some parents may even turn down ‘spare’ offers in the next week or two if they are lucky enough to get one they prefer more. Does that ever happen or is there generally no movement until next month (ie after the deadlines)?
On a related note, does anyone know if 7+ girls/co-ed schools like Bute House, Latymer Prep, Guildford, etc have sent out this year’s offers already?
Finally, I would also love to hear from any parents who took a 7+ waitlist offer. Did the school work out for your DC? Were you happy with your decision? Feel free to message me privately if you prefer.
I’d be really grateful for any information. I didn’t grow up in England so am relatively clueless about this stage in the 7+ process and trying hard to assess how much ‘hope’ to have for a waitlist place!
