Very stressful for you especially at this time when life is upside down for all of us. When are the video auditions due? Can you submit the same one for each or are they very specific?

Performers' ears must have been burning - she has just got an email from them to say she has an offer for the degree course ... happy days! :D

Daughter is on waiting list for Bird degree and today has an email from UCAS that Bird has rejected her applicaton. I know from last year that this might just be procedure but you think they would warn you. Anyone else had this? It says that her application is rejected.

Ah checked back and the small print on the reserve list offer says this will happen. Phew!

Fab news, dd also got degree offer from Performers at the start of this week but turned it down as she has chosen to go to Wilkes. I think as their auditions finish earlier than a lot of others they get the reserve list moving quicker too. At least you can relax a bit now!

Dd finally heard back her final result which was the foundation at LIPA, so she’s now definitely off to wilkes in September and feeling very excited. Very nice to have closure on the audition process now and super proud of her, she went into it praying she would get something from somewhere so is over the moon to have come out with 5 offers, definitely a confidence boost.

The video auditions are due end of next week and they are all very specific. A real pain but she finished them all yesterday (not an easy task in the circumstances) so just got to send them all off today. Thanks for all the love and support on here x

Well done! On the plus side though think how much you have saved in train fares and hotels and eating out! Fingers crossed for some positive results!

That's the scary bit. It's all down to UCAS insisting reserve offers are rejected on their system. When the offers are made they are admitted through UCAS Extra. Good luck

Nbs have emailed all the Dada forms but I haven't filled them out yet as waiting for proof of income and I can't book Unite accommodation yet to confirm that.
She is also on the waiting list for Bird and Performers for the degree and haven't heard from them either.
Congratulations on her offer! It’s good to have a confirmed option. Such a stressful time all the waiting 😁👍
