Michael Moore is no longer Head of MT - his Twitter profile now says "Former Head....". No reason that I can find in the public domain. Second is hearsay so may not be true. DD has been told that GSA have drastically cut the number of contact hours for MT compared to prior years. If true one might conclude that the two developments are related. Trouble in paradise?

Re: Auditioning for SEPT 2018
First application in for Mountview MT diploma. DD would need a full dada to attend and even then London living costs would be a stretch but she is desperate to try anyway. We applied with her 4000 character personal statement that she's written for conservatoires - hoping this was the correct thing to do !
Ever impatient, just wondering if anyone has any idea how long it will take to hear back from them with audition dates / info ?

Re: Auditioning for SEPT 2018
We had to wait weeks, but DS applied early so they weren't set up with dates then, so I expect it will be much quicker.
Sorry - not much help!

Re: Auditioning for SEPT 2018
Whilst I think I have my head around what college offers what and what we need with regards to applying i.e. songs, monologues etc. I'm really confused with the whole UCAS application. For example for Performers, I can't seem to see anywhere on the application form whether you apply directly to them or via UCAS. Am I being thick here My dd is applying for 2018 entry and is looking at both diploma and degree courses.

Hi , Not sure about performers but Bird and urdAng you have to apply via ucas and also a separate application to them download form via there website . It's all such a lengthy process and all want different requirements so hang on in there ! It will be worth it in the end .josielee wrote:Whilst I think I have my head around what college offers what and what we need with regards to applying i.e. songs, monologues etc. I'm really confused with the whole UCAS application.

Hi. We went to the Performers Open Day. You only need to apply direct to them for both the degree and the diploma - you do not need to apply through UCAS.josielee wrote:Whilst I think I have my head around what college offers what and what we need with regards to applying i.e. songs, monologues etc. I'm really confused with the whole UCAS application.

Re: Auditioning for SEPT 2018
Don't panic! I know it feels like everyone else is ahead of the game but a lot of people don't start applying till the New Year. I did one application per week for my DD and found that kept my stress levels down! Just wait till the auditions come through, then start to panic!!josielee wrote:Thank you!!

Re: Auditioning for SEPT 2018
UCAS deadline is 15th January but leave time for tutors to complete references and submit. Make a plan of the requirements for each application then really nail all of those - songs, monologues.

Hi Belledancer They told me yesterday that the directors were out visiting dance schools so results won't be all next week. Did you attend with your dd ? What did you think ? Its not my daughter's first choice, but still would like to know the outcome.

Upinlights I took her and then came home she as we live commutable distance and she enjoyed the day. Not my daughters first choice either -she has 6 more auditions to do - but as it was her first audtion she has been anxiously checking her emails. Its a shame if they tell them 2 weeks that they are still waiting to hear but I guess we must get used to it. She was reasuured when I told her that no-one had had their results!
