The choice was made for him, as he received reserve offers from PPA, Bird and Leeds, Foundation from Performers, and no from GSA, Emil Dale and Urdang. Exciting times ahead, but the big challenge now is to find affordable s...

Re: Fully funded BA MT Sept 2020 - Advice sought

Update on my son. He attended the Performer's College boys day in June and enjoyed that and was impressed with their premises. He also visited Urdang and Millennium with school. Millennium is out of our budget, but he was very impressed with Urdang and based on previous comments, Chester House would...
