I applied to cardinal vaughan sixth form around 2 weeks ago ago and the other day I received an email from cvms inviting me to an options meeting. Does this mean that I have been "accepted" or is this for everyone that applied? I was also wondering what people's opinions of the school were, as I have certain reservations due to distance etc. I am very much into music and I feel the academics would of a higher quality than my current school, however I would like to know what other people thought of the school.

Hi, Everyone that meets the schools criteria gets a interview. (so you get it id you meet the minimum grades and the religious section). Thats how I observed it in my school. It's my top choice and hopefully I get in , but I think that my predicted grades are too low. I know that it is a very academic school and they make you work very hard.
I recently had my course suitability meeting and the teacher said that offers will be sent out in the first week of february (based on distance and siblings). They have to save 120 spaces for the boys but obviously they won't all take the places and therefore you may still have a chance of getting in much later (so be patient!). In order to get the course suitability meeting you needed at least 4 predicted A*s and to be Catholic. I doubt I'll get a place because I live too far and I don't think my predicted grades are high enough but fingers crossed!

I still nee to attend my course suitability meeting as I've been postponed. I really want to get in, but I am unsure for the same reasons. I have 3A*s and the rest As, but after the mocks I will hopefully have 6A*s for the predicted grades, tso have a better chance. Will take the updated predicted grades along to the meeting. I am scared though, because I originally wanted the 5 A-Levels and due to the lack of A*s I wasnt able to choose that so I changed it. Now that I hopefully have better grades, I can choose the original option. Good luck everybody. BTW What other Sixth Forms have you applied to?

She is very nice and there is nothing to be stressed about. Apparently this girl in my school has already been offered a place conditional (she had all a* predicted). I think that I wont get in first time round. But after results day I will try to get in from the waiting list. I have 6a* and 5 a's predicted. But lots of people have what I have.

Heyyy guys have you heard anything from the school yet? They were supposed to be sending out conditional offers from Monday
I got a conditional offer on friday via email and got a letter in the post with my offer. I don't think you have gotten in if you haven't gotten the email or letter yet?

I guess you applied to do 5 A - Levels... which is why you may have gotten it beforehand. I dunno, I kinda really wanna go there
I want to do 4 A- Levels so I might still have a chance. I'll just wait this week tbh
I got a conditional offer this friday, but anyone that didn't remember that they have to save a certain amount of spaces for the boys and a number of these will turn it down, so you could still get a place a bit later on!

Around 30 people from my school got in. There are 2 categories of us: 1. The 5 As level people 2. People with Siblings who have chosen either 5 or 4. Lot's of people are turning down offers and a few boys there will turn them down. I'm guessing on results day that you will get in if you don't get a letter soon
