Sixth form enrolment help

I’ve got 3 offers for sixth form and a couple have emailed links to sign up for enrolment meetings the day after gcse results day- do I sign up for these for all my offers? I am assuming so but I wanted to check in case it’s just for the one I actually want to enrol in. Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for any replies :smile:

technically you're only meant to do it for the one you actually want to enrol in
however, last year i signed up for all of them
i knew which sixth form i wanted to go to, but it has a reputation of being too academically intense, so i wanted to have back-ups in case i decided i didn't like my sixth form after the first week. it helped that my first choice sixth form started a week earlier so in the event that i did decide to switch i wouldnt have missed anything from my second choice

it's ultimately up to you, but i would sign up for all of them (you only have three anyways so it's not too many) and then send polite emails declining your offers once you've decided which sixth form is for you after results day. make sure you send the emails within a couple of weeks of term starting though at the latest, just to be polite
good luck!!

Wait so can I enrol in 2 colleges bc the college I want to go to is also academically intense and the enrolment is on the 30th August whereas my back up is the day after results day so I was thinking on enrolling in it just in case my first choice rejected me 😭
