Tonbridge Offer

Ruby1219

Just got an email this afternoon, Tonbridge School got a place available and is offering it to my son (as he was put on the top of their waiting list since last December, after the entrance exam). It was a happy surprise, but now it is already mid May. Seems very rush for all the preparation : body check, visa, flight tickets, etc. AA asked us to confirm today!! (I got the email at 3pm somethings!)

Congratulations.    Your son's dream comes true.   Indeed, it is a happy surprise.   Fortunately, you have not rushed for other schools.

I did contact the school directly. And they told me frankly when I asked.
At first, they emailed me saying my son did well in the entrance exam but not enough to secure a place right away, therefore, they put him on the short waiting list. Then, I called the school to ask about his performance and his chance of finally getting the offer. Then, they reassured me saying he was being put at the top of the wait list and will be offered once a place becomes available.

So, don't feel shy to ask for more information la!

Oh , my daughter is being nominated to attend a renowned IB school. They said ok.  I am waiting for handbooks, CAS no to proceed student visa, ticketing, health checking and stuff.  Request arrival time is mid August. She is doing IGCSE exam right now.  As the time is running out, I am still in the situation accomplishing nothing.  Everything is new to me. New chapter of life. You should well know my anxiety.

Ic! renowned IB school in UK ? Is it Sevenoaks?
I think you can proceed to ticketing first ? I haven't confirm the offer with Tonbridge yet, no yet getting any details (even the offer letter!) from them, but I am checking and reserving flight tickets with agents la!

Honey917,
唔洗客气

Tonbridge is also my son's dream school! We visited the school last summer and he loved the school and admired the 大哥哥 who toured us around.

How old is your son? Is he going to apply for Tonbridge too?
