How soon do you apply?

[GreenPlayer]

Hi all.
So our first choice school is always over subscribed but we are very close distance wise to it. I forgot to apply on the 1st when applications opened and applied on the 6th. Have I shot myself in the foot here and applied too late? Or do all applications get considered at the same time as long as you apply before the deadline of October?

All applications get considered at the same time regardless of when you apply. (As long as before application closing date)

So don't worry - you haven't missed the boat!

All considered at the same time. The criteria will be on the website. Just make sure you give a 2nd and 3rd choice.

No, don’t worry, no applications are considered until the application period has passed.

And yes, use all your options, in order of preference.

They are only considered after the deadline, it’s not first come first served. Well done for getting it in, you don’t have to worry about it now till allocation day.

Thank you all so much! You've given this guilt ridden mama some peace.
