I am sorry to be a wet blanket, but there are one or two things you may have not thought about. If you have not already done so, please contact DESS and the Compass as soon as possible. The horrors of school waiting lists are frequently mentioned in this forum. I have even heard of schools that have "closed" their waiting lists. (Perhaps they will soon have waiting lists for their waiting lists...)
Another small matter is that most schools insist upon some kind of entry test or tests. I cannot be certain, but I would guess that the more popular the school, the harder the tests.
