I expect at this point he/you just want a response whatever it is!! Hopefully tomorrow if they are embarrassed enoughFullmoon wrote:Fingers crossed for youCandafitt wrote:I’m trying everything to get an answer, I’ve just Dm on twitter and they’ve replied with an apology and that they will contact admissions tomorrow. My DS has said, it’s been that long he can’t see it being good news.
If you accept the offer on UCAS before you were told that GSA had made a mistake then GSA have to honour the offer. If you didn’t accept on UCAS then GSA can withdraw the offer. I know this because last year we had a similar senario (not with GSA) and this is what UCAS told my DD.Candafitt wrote:I can’t believe that!!

Sounds like a sensible decision to reduce the stress a little bit!Candafitt wrote:DS has rang GSA again today! He’s just taking it that he must be on reserve, as they were no clearer really. Other than saying reserve. But when he says “so that’s the actual ‘reserve list’” they don’t seem to give him a straight answer!! But it’s not a no I suppose so there is that
He has also spoken to some people that know that places have been offered so he’s just going to take it as ‘reserve’ and focus on Trinity Laban. Just so annoying.
We have still not heard anything from Laine at all, its so frustratingScarytimes wrote:Sounds like a sensible decision to reduce the stress a little bit!Candafitt wrote:DS has rang GSA again today!

No news on the Laine waiting lists anyone? Feels selfish asking when I know some of you are still waiting to hear anything from them!!
I sympathise. I just can’t see what the delay is! If they are waiting for replies from those with offers then can they not just let people know where they are on a waiting list?em2512 wrote:We have still not heard anything from Laine at all, its so frustratingScarytimes wrote:Sounds like a sensible decision to reduce the stress a little bit!Candafitt wrote:DS has rang GSA again today!

You don't have long to wait Rhythm - with everything you and your DD went through this year I will look forward to hearing about your progress xxrhythmanddreams wrote:I've not been on for a while as my DD has decided on a gap year, but just to say congratulations to everyone whose children have recently been awarded places and DADAs over the past few weeks. Thinking about all of you who are still waiting - it must be so stressful (and we may be in this situation next year). Best of luck to everyone whose children are about to sit their GCSEs and A-Levels, and especially to those who need specific grades for their places in Sept xx

that is disgraceful!!! I'm sorry but we think waiting to find out if a yes or no is bad. This is just out right cruel!!!! Imagine the happiness to be told you have a place and celebrating then being told no. With this and Candafitts updates not a good impression at allYes that's a point. The impact on mental health could also be serious. We all know the rollercoaster DCs go through - this is irresponsible.bro1234 wrote:Munchpot
That is a terrible way for the college to behave, that poor student could of gave up his offers elsewhere based on that offer. How can they retract it after being offered!
I have just caught up on your updates and I too think it's a good idea to focus on Trinity. It's the first I've heard their being a 'sub' reserve list which makes it complicated. It should be you're either on the reserve list or not - why can't they just say that?! Just seems to be chaotic at the moment at GSA from what I've read so yes channelling your energies on other possibilities will be better for your sanity!Candafitt wrote:DS has rang GSA again today!

Yes it’s just awful, and to add to that they’ve got that stress along side up and coming exams! No help whatsoever.

Definitely. Lots of calm thoughts to all the DC still waiting for results, reserves, A levels, BTECHs and more!Marissa wrote:We are here for you Candafitt xxx
