Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry

I hope people who were still waiting for news have had some progress. DS accepted his GSA Acting degree place today. I am very relieved!

Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry

@K8T presumably if your DD declines Chichester this year and reapplies to GSA next year through UCAS, she can also reapply to Chichester? I mean people must withdraw for all kinds of reasons, and she can just say this year wasn't the right time to go in the end, but next year could be. Of course the...

Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry

Huge congratulations to Proseccoplease's son, who has done spectacularly well. K8T, it sounds like your DD did well, but if she's not happy with what she got why not spend a year sharpening skills and try again for some colleges she would really want to go to. If she's going for MT just don't let th...

Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry

Break a leg to her - hope she enjoys it and it goes really well. My son will accept GSA unless he magically gets a place at Central from the reserve list. He really likes GSA too and would be very happy to go there, but just wants to wait a bit longer and see what happens. Thanks biscuitneeded, she...

@ditzi How did you daughter get on at GSA? Hope things are coming together for her! Hi, her recall is on Wednesday. Has your ds made a decision? Break a leg to her - hope she enjoys it and it goes really well. My son will accept GSA unless he magically gets a place at Central from the reserve list....

Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry

Has anyone had any experience with waiting lists eg Conti, Arts Ed, Mountview, Urdang? From what we can see they all work quite differently. My DS is on the reserve list for Acting at Central. They only take 16 students, so he's proud to have got that far, but we can't really sense whether it is ev...

Re: drama school reserve list

Thanks @lotsolaffs, he will definitely contact them again before he needs to accept or decline the other offer. Unfortunately they don't rank the waiting llist so he won't be told he's No 3 or whatever. They only take 16 and they want to balance the cohort, so it would be a case of somebody similar ...

drama school reserve list

Has anybody got any experience of being on a reserve list for an Acting place at drama school? I don't mean for MT where the cohorts are large, and lists move a lot, but in this case for a drama school with 16 places? DS has a place at a very good school (in my opinion) but he has heard he is on the...

Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry

Well done to everyone who has received offers and waiting list places. And well done to parents holding their nerve! DS has had a couple more rejections and is still waiting to hear from his preferred option after final recall. It's very distracting for me as a parent, so goodness knows how the youn...

Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry

@dancemum007 As someone with no skin in the game, as my DS is an actor who moves and not a dancer, my impartial advice would be this: it sounds as if Performers isn't in the greatest or nicest location, and LSC costs more (what is the reason for this?). Bird, by contrast, is very close to accommodat...

Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry

Thank you Harry, Ditzi and Helen.

Ditzi, good luck to your DD. DS didn't go for Oxford as it seemed to be a diploma and not a degree, and we need student finance - but it looked great. DS also didn't apply to LAMDA, I can't remember now why that was! Please let me know how your DD gets on.

Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry

Good luck to everyone waiting to audition or waiting for news. Update from DS so far, for BA Acting: BOVTS : zoom done, no recall. Rose Bruford: sent tapes, no recall. Leeds Conservatoire: sent tapes, recalled but has withdrawn (see below) Guildhall: tapes sent weeks ago, still waiting for news (lon...

@K8T, I can't answer your question, I'm afraid, but congratulations to your daughter!
