So DD got a hand addressed letter today from Laine.
It was the exact same letter she got 10 days ago?!?!
Still the same place number on the list... (even though we know people have said no to their places.)
Not exactly sure what the point of it was unless they are worried that some people hadn’t got their original letters?!?
Such an odd way to deal with things.
Oh well. I have this all to go through again next year it would seem!

We're also waiting on bird, for degree reserve list, I'm desperate to call to find out where on the list dd is, but original letter said we would not hear from them until after the 30th May. presuming that's when all foundation students have until they confirm their place if offered 1. Has anyone been received info where on waiting list they are sitting yet?
We were in your place last year and the reserve list did start to move in May. They will not say what number you are on the list and it is rumoured there are a few lists eg. tall blonde soprano, dark metzo etc, strong commerical etc.. what they will usually say is if you are near the top, middle or bottom of the list.

They keep emailing out to those offered a place asking if still taking and if drop out they go to reserve lists, the degree / diploma reserves even get to say if they would want to be considered for the other course.

There was a fair bit of movement on A level results day as people accepted places like GSA where they needed the grades.

My DD was doing foundation at Bird (having turned down degree elsewhere) and got off reserve 2 days into the start of the course so the list really moves till the end. Her best friend got diploma the week before.

Fingers crossed for you all as I remember the sick feeling waiting for news.

Thank you that's extremely useful. I'm feeling more nervous as we get closer to the end of May. xx
The foundation students were not told on Friday but are now finding out tomorrow at Bird

I Am in shock! And panicking about accommodation. I need to find out about landlord accommodation quick as a possible! (She’s 16 so they prefer landlord accommodation)

Hi
They are currently compiling this year's accommodation pack. The deadline for landlords / host families to reply is Friday. The list is usually sent out at the beginning of July

If you're 16 they insist you stay with a host family

Good luck with the hunt
