Dd’s Friend was asked to stay for interview (which went well) and then found out a week later about the waiting list.........

Thanks guys

Sounds really promising to me. Good luck to her/him!

I remember Candafitt’s DS was on reserve list for GSA for a time last year and eventually went to Trinity Laban instead of waiting until the end, but reserve and waiting may be very different things. I don’t see why they shouldn’t ring in a few weeks when GSA have done a few more recalls.

My dc was recalled last year got through to interview in the afternoon then offered place on the spot, not sure if they still do that this year as I know things have changed now.
Best of luck to everyone . X

Might be worth mentioning that some of the colleges have formed an alliance. I think it's called AMTC. If you are planning to audition then at least one of these colleges should probably be on your list. Good luck to those going into audition time. Stay well x

Best of luck to everyone auditioning for 2019 places, hope it’s going well! My Dd auditioned at Laine, Arts Ed, Mountview, Central, GSA and the Royal College of Music. With the exception of Mountview she was recalled at all. She was offered Foundation at Arts Ed and a scholarship on the day of audition at Laine. She’s now in 2nd year at Laine and loving every single minute. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, I know how confusing and sometimes stressful it can be. I’m very much of the “let the college choose you” vibe. If they want you, it’s because they see something in you that they like. This first year and a bit at Laine have been a dream!

Just to be precise: they are MT colleges, not straight drama ones. Hope it helps!

My DS will be there on Saturday - I think they take about 2 weeks to send out results. This is the first of 6 auditions for him - one of which is GSA recall. Fingers crossed he gets a 3 year course this year (on Foundation at GSA this year having turned down 2 - 3 year offers
)

Good luck to your DS Sailorgirluae. If anyone fancies coffee or lunch in the Mill room pub I’ll probably be the one in the corner on my own with an iPad and a book

I can’t believe it has come round again so soon. I’ve got my fingers crossed for him xx

Good luck to you guys at EDA this weekend !

He's just called me and is gutted as he didn't get a call back this year. (was one of his offers last year) - its so hard not being able to be with him. Onwards and upwards - Trinity next.

Oh no! The first one is always tricky. I have every confidence the right place will snap him up this year. Wonder how they feel about students who have turned them down before???

So sorry to hear your news salirgirluae - it’s so hard when we can’t be there - good luck for the next one .

Sailorgirluae so sorry x keep going x We all know what your going through and it’s a feeling not forgotten but it will work out in the end and those amazing hopes and dreams for your child will return x

Know how you and your DS feeling right now sailorgirluae - no recall for my DD today either . Think she spent quite a bit of time talking to your DS though if he’s ‘M’? - small world ! Wish I’d known I’d have given him a big hug from you ( hope that doesn’t sound too weird!!) Best of luck for rest of auditions and I’m sure it will work out for him and he’ll find the right place xx
