Keep going with it! The questions are peeing me off too. A lot. They and person specification and GMP nearly went out of the window earlier, argh! *So* much rather an interview.

It changes every year because people try to play the numbers game. When I applied, NW Thames was very oversubscribed, closely followed by NC. But last year, I think NW was only just oversubscribed and the other foundation schools were much more so. Apply to where you like - there is no advantage this year in not doing this!

Rather amazingly, NW Thames was undersubscribed last year, but naturally this will change, especially given the new format of allocation!

Ultimately, apply to all four London choices if youre thinking of going to the capital.

but if i put the london schools as 1 to 4 , then i wont be at a disadvantage? as the score is the main thing.

I wouldn't have thought so if you want to go to London...however remember to put your London choices in order of preference :smile:

No point doing it at random! I mean, the worst situation is you'll get your 5th or 6th choice, which isn't really that bad, is it? :smile:

Ditto - its driving me up the wall. Im questioning whether what I have written is relevant or whether its random irrelevant dribble! (Probably the second one).

I know..but just go with the London deaneries then work your way outwards. This has a good map on it: http://foundationschools.info
