You are not alone. We are the same. I think we have at least several weeks to go. Painful

ahhh us too and one of our schools has just extended the deadline for acceptances meaning the favourable window for movement has disappeared before March 6th deadline. Furious. Leaves us running the gauntlet until 1200 on 6th. So, so tired of it all!

I feel your pain, OP. Have pity on those of us who are still waiting for state secondaries Offers Day on 1st March (and that might only be the beginning of the journey rather than the conclusion).

It's all very stressful TBQH!

We're also waiting for a state secondary offer. The winners are the schools who end up getting lots of money via registrations and then extra deposits from families forced into making decisions before getting offers from their original first choice. Arghhh!

Has anyone had any news about there WL?

Any news on waiting/ reserve lists?

richmondven12 · 02/03/2017 18:33

Nothing here yet.... we called the schools they said they will not know a thing until Monday, so are resigned to loose our deposit if our first choice comes through.

Did anyone hear anything today?

richmondven12 · 06/03/2017 18:19

We haven't heard anything two of DD friends got SPGS from waiting list so that might kick start the chain reaction

Wow that was fast! So SPGS has already moved into the waiting list, is that the norm?

MaeMobley · 06/03/2017 19:40
