From my understanding anybody who don’t put Tiffin as there number 1 choice has no chance irrespective of score, and the scores aren't in until after the deadline day, so you think that’s ok ? Why can’t they play by the rules like everyone else
This isn't true. The school makes its offers based on its published admissions criteria and the criteria don't include where you put the school on the CAF.
It is true that you won't get Tiffin Boys if you don't pass Stage 1. It's also true (looking at the thread on this year's admissions) that you probably won't get Tiffin Boys if you're not in the top priority area.
You will know BEFORE the CAF deadline whether or not your son has passed for Tiffin because all boys who pass Stage 1 are qualified. Stage 2 ranks the boys but as you
don't get scores for Stage 2 it doesn't matter whether it's before or after the deadline.
Put the schools on your CAF in your genuine order of preference. You can't leapfrog people who would be higher up the admissions criteria than you, and you can't be leapfrogged.
