To me , whether you are coming with your husband a not, you have to start applying now & wait for schools to come back to you with a place. As of now, I can say ALL schools Brit or non Brit are on waiting list mainly due to 2 reasons
1. Influx of new families coming to Doha to work while the existing ones are still here.
2. Existing people are transferring schools to their desired schools or so called better schools.
So for schools like Doha College & DESS would have super long list. Heard that there are people waited for 2 years to get into DESS.
Nevertheless, don't get upset over this as I believe they picked the names by random & also by academic results. So all u need to do is first to submit yr apps & pray that you get picked for an entrance exam. And don't worry about the entrance exam. It's very easy and nothing that ordinary kids cannot do.Another thing that you need to do is to call them up periodically to check for spaces available after you have submitted them.
Last but not least, if you really have to come here with your hb, take whichever school that can offer you place & wait for your desired on to be available. Tat's what everyone did here in Doha actually.
