Looking forward to continuing the journey together!

still nothing from LU here :(

@Notskiiing we are!

Amazing stuff. We got Dulwich, Whitgift, and St. Dunstans which was our backup, with a WL place at Emanuel and straight no from Trinity. It does show up some strange vagaries as regards what schools are looking for.

Additionally this should give some hope to those with WL places. The increase in number of schools applied for by each DC this year has thrown up some impressive offer clutches for some, but clearly there will be a lot of movement when offers are turned down.

@WNLastX thank you! We've yet to hear from Ibstock but DS disliked the experience so not sure.

@Daydreamscometrue

which one is your fav school?

@momomamiko LU, Dulwich and Emanuel

@Daydreamscometrue can I ask the first letter of your surname please
still nothing from LU here

@Daydreamscometrue great offers and very different in feel. All the best in selecting after the holders day event.

@Lolakath19 it's B

@HawaiiWake thanks. Very different schools agreed.

we are D, maybe they are writing very slowly... very very slowly..

congratulations to all offer holders and sending strength for lots of advocacy to wait list holders. Big big hugs to people who are not getting the news they and their DC were hoping for. We got a gutting reject before interview from one of our’s and it’s just horrible.

We’ve had a great day today tho. DD has offers from our top choice (LU) and her top choice (CLSG).

We’ll release our offers (SPSG, NHEHS and FHRP) and our waitlist spot (G&L) quickly. And presumably our spot at CLSG.

thank you everyone for your support, encouragement and good advice at every point in this mad journey. Xx

@new13 @LittleOwl22 we just got an email through from Hampton 13+ giving DS an offer. Very excited as this was his first choice!

Hope you'll both have your emails soon.

@Lolakath19 our last name starts with ‘A’

@GQ22 we got an offer too!!! Congrats to you too!!!

@UKUSMum Well it will probably be WL or a no but that is fine we have been blessed today

Congrats @new13!

We just received the email and it is a YES loooooool I cant believe it. I did not want to open the email as was sure it would be no...

We got LU, woohoo!

@Lolakath19 you have had a brilliant day and must be very proud.

Congratulations on the LU offers! It's an amazing school. I know lots of DC there.

@Lolakath19 haha. Just as I was posting you got the yes. So an even more brilliant day!! Well done.

Congratulations! Your wait is over.

Our surname is way (way) down the end of the alphabet, so if they’re doing it that way…

Will also be nervous to open. The more time goes by, the less optimistic I am. Also, we’ve had our post and there was nothing (not even our offer back from Emanuel which should be en route). Our post has been awful for months. I do think the schools need to forget about using the post and focus on providing all the information by email.

Ibstock are really taking their time! They sent out emails at 2pm last year

No news from St John’s I think they’ve posted letters today and will email tomorrow . We did get an offer from St George’s today though which is a positive ! Just want to be done with this waiting …
