    Apparerntly the demand for repeating is up fairly high this year due to stuff, so i was wondering how does a school that has only 70 places allocate places when over 120+ people have applied....

    Is it first come first served or do past pupils have first preference or what

    Anyway should you accept what you were offered by the cao even if you dont like it just in case you cant repeat....

    I'd say the demand is up considerably.

    I'd imagine places are allocated on the basis of an interview? (If there is one) and by that, I mean the likeliness of the applicant actually working.

    I decided to repeat last year in September, after they'd filled up all the places in the school I eventually got into.
    I rang them up and was told they wouldn't be able to take me on.
    Until I told them I'd gotten 550 that year and was trying to improve. Then they accepted me straight off :P

    Just try to get in now if you can. Don't wait around for too long.
    Rant on about how much of a hard worker you are etc etc.
