All the three schools I've applied they are oversubscribed and we did not get a place. We will still be on the waiting list with a good chance of getting in but good is not enough to relax as everyone thought we'd get a place 100% in the first two considering distance.
I was told that I'be offered a place at closer good school but I haven't been. Apparently I can only either stay on the list or/and apply for an extra one from a list provided. None of those suits either for distance or preference.
I feel like an idiot as I would have indicated that extra school on my original list if I knew I wouldn't be able to add it on later IFKWIM.
What to do now? should I call them and ask beg them to let me choose that school, add the school on the form anyway, add one of those on the list, leave it as it is while praying for a place?
I'm gutted (as many others I know) but I live 3 meters from one school and a 1/4 of a mile from the other one. Who would have foreseen this?
You can probably you tell it is my first child going through this.
Please what's your experience and advice?
