Anyone knows if Habs girls have waiting list or they just give offer or reject application?

Yes they do, I know someone who is on the Habs girls reserve list this year.

School23 · 13/02/2023 12:13

thanks @redferrari for the response. Do you know if they consider the rejected application?

Don't have a DD myself but as far as I am aware reserve list might move if they have spaces but not sure about rejected. I know someone who contacted to school to get an idea, maybe you can try that?

Una23 · 20/02/2023 13:16

@School23 did you hear back from Habs?

miradera · 20/02/2023 16:42

We've got the offer but probably will turn it down, so hopefully you'll get in x

School23 · 21/02/2023 06:54

@Una23 , nope, not heard anything from them yet

@miradera I think they have waiting list already so if anyone turns down offer then it goes to waiting list candidate.
Why are you turning down this school offer? What's your first preference and why you are choosing them other school over habs?

@School23 my understanding is that schools including Habs over offer so if people holding multiple offers turn down they have additional offer holders to make up for the places they have. It’s only when the additional offers get exhausted do they move to their waiting list. I am not sure though what sort of movement is there on the wait list in previous years.

miradera · 21/02/2023 07:06

@School23 it's just personal matter. I now worry dd won't be able to cope at Habs as she is very sensitive and not thick skinned at all. We will make decision with her together after the offer holders day

Una23 · 27/02/2023 16:24

@miradera did you and DD make a decision on Habs? I understand there was an offer holder’s day last week.

miradera · 27/02/2023 16:29

No, sorry, still in two minds

Cecile1 · 02/03/2023 08:54

We re on reserve list and contacted school.
They said wait till 6th

Una23 · 04/03/2023 15:51

@Cecile1 did you hear from the school?

Cecile1 · 04/03/2023 16:00

Yes, unfortunately there is no place for us. Very disappointed.

Una23 · 04/03/2023 20:34

Same here @Cecile1 . Disappointed 😔

Elevenplusmum1 · 04/03/2023 22:28

We turned down Habs offer yesterday. 3 more friends of mine did as well. So there should be some movement in the waitlist.

Not if they over offered and have had sufficient acceptance rate.

miradera · 04/03/2023 22:47

We are declining the offer too. Good luck

School23 · 04/03/2023 23:38

@Elevenplusmum1 why you and your friends declined habs? Are you going to any other private school or state school?

OP posts:
Elevenplusmum1 · 05/03/2023 11:12

We accepted NLCS. My friends are going with SPGS, STAHS and NLCS.

School23 · 05/03/2023 15:08

Thanks @Elevenplusmum1 , what was your main point to decide nlcs over habs?

OP posts:
Elevenplusmum1 · 06/03/2023 10:13

We had been to both the offer holder's event and liked NLCS better. We have friends kids studying in both the schools and we have always heard good things about NLCS. We are looking forward for the new head Vicky B to start this Sept.

FreneticVerses · 06/03/2023 12:34

Good luck everyone. We turned ours down and know a fair few who did also, so I’m sure it will start to move today.
