Thanks tracyelwell, all the best to your DD too! Exciting (terrifying) times!

tracyelwell absolutely agree, wish he would cast net further but he has researched the courses forensically and they are the only ones he’s interested in-he’s more of a actor/singer who can dance when he’s forced to so is applying for a couple of MT and a couple of straight acting. I don’t think the...

I agree with amo185, DS has really narrowed his choices, just 4 and they are unfortunately 4 of the hardest to get into but he says he will just keep trying until he gets in. (I am very aware we are lucky enough to be able to financially allow him to try for those courses). He knows what a saturated...

Well done Harry2003! DS has yet to even finish his personal statement Off to Leeds tomorrow for the Federation of Drama Schools Fair so hoping for some good advice re.auditions/courses! It’s all getting real!

We did indeed loose our deposit for exactly that reason. Accepted an offer as other audition wasn’t until later and DS was still unsure where he would go then had to let first offer go.

As Harry2003 says EDA give out as they go-I think we heard within around 10 days. Arts Ed we heard a couple of days after but places were still being given I think up to a month later.

Can’t believe it’s time for me to join this thread! Seems like yesterday I was looking at children’s audition threads. DS has his mind firmly set on a selection so can already foresee tears and disappointment! Good luck all-here we go…

wimdancer I sent you a PM but keeps saying it’s in outbox and can’t get it to send! So sorry!!!

Hi wimdancer, my DS is at Arts Ed sixth form doing Alevels and MT Btec but before this we were also looking for something to supplement his training at weekends. He did MXM (Michael Xavier Masterclass) and it was a real step up from his usual weekend training. It's run by Michael Xavier who is so su...

Hi-you’ll find lots of good advice about schools/collages at 16-18 on here-a lot depends on wether you want purely vocational at 16 or if she wants to keep doing A-levels alongside her vocational studies. My DS is blissfully happy at Arts Ed sixth form-happy to chat about it and have heard very good...

Hi, my DS is currently in lower 6th at Arts Ed, doing the Level 3 extended diploma MT Btec and A Levels in Drama and History so will have the UCAS equivalent of 5 A Levels. He also had a place at Emil Dale which looks amazing and he loved it but he wants to keep his academic options open and wasn't ...

Basically I totally echo what Harry 2003 says-my view on this one is that yes you statistically have more chance of getting in if you are a boy BUT the boys that are still pursuing MT at 18 (I’m prepared to get shot down here and it really is only my opinion) are 100% committed and dedicated to gett...

Thanks goforit-lots to think about-I’ll pm you later if that’s ok!

Wow becmum she is certainly determined! Well done her! That’s really heartening to know-thank you x

Thank you becmum-big decisions ahead as he’d have to leave home at 16.
