I feel for all those who don’t yet have firm places for next year.
My DD has just finished her MT foundation year at Mountview and finished all her auditions for BAs last week.
ARTS ED- no recall
GSA- recall but then no place offered
Mountview- got to final Saturday workshop round- reserve list
RCS- got to final round- reserve list
Trinity Laban- made it through the cut - reserve list.
So frustrating to have got this far and not have a firm place. She was recalled to 4/5 top drama schools and is on 3 reserve lists-She has had the most fabulous training this year and worked so hard- clearly has the talent and ability to go further.
She is back home now and found a job but fully expects to have to audition again for a third year in the autumn. Her dad is getting a bit antsy about what she is going to do next year and wants her to have a plan B in place- she has very good A level grades and could no doubt get on some sort of academic degree course through clearing in August but performing is her passion she just doesn’t want to do anything else. I don’t think he quite gets how long it sometimes takes to get onto these sorts of courses. I feel like piggy in the middle.
No way of knowing where on the reserves she is due to the way that they “cast” each cohort! Mountview alone has 30girls on the reserve list...
Aaghhhhh!
