In my email from Urdang they said I had 14 days to reply, so hopefully they'll be a bit more movement soon!amo185 wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 9:30 am Lovely to hear of more offers. DD's best friend is still waiting on her Urdang recall too. Three other girls have not yet turned down their offers there despite accepting elsewhere - so there must surely be more movement later too. Not sure of the deadline for turning down. Good luck to all!

Finally! Well it might be positive if your DD didn't get a no this afternoon? I will keep my fingers crossed for her!
My DD got an offer from GSA today!!!! I cannot tell you how happy she is. It was her first choice and her dream school. I feel I can finally relax....we are still waiting to hear from Urdang and Bird but her decision is already made. Good luck to everyone still waiting for results before final decisions are made
She's going to apply for the Mountview foundation program... hoping that since she's made it to the reserve list for BA that she could get a place in foundation.... We've recently realized that since my Dad is British she's eligible for an ancestry visa. Since some programs can't sponsor international student visas she couldn't apply. I think the Trinity foundation (her one firm offer) looks fantastic, but soooo expensive (international fees are about 16,000)Ah sorry to hear regarding GSA. Definitely apply for the foundation but there is still time for her to be offered a place off the reserve... Good luck!canadianJo wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 4:54 pmShe got a no from GSA
Hi! Don’t panic! My daughter is current Bird 2nd year. She didn’t find out she’d got a place till the July & we decided it was less stressful to go for halls at Avery Hill. Her room was small but perfect for her and it turned out to be the best decision as she met loads of people and has gone on to share a house with the 3 girls she shared halls with. Deposit was small, we didn’t pay a thing over lockdown and you don’t need to sort it it late July/August.EsmeraldaFudge wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 6:41 pm Hi all
New to this site, all a bit of a minefield.
My DS has had offers for 3 Year Degree -
Bird College
Momentum
Performers
1 year foundation at Urdang.
He has decided to go with Bird College. Would be great to hear from other parents on here. I am FLUMMOXED by accom options. I would be hugely grateful if anyone can help with this? He has been talked out of going to Avery Hills halls so is now looking at shared accommodation with some friends from his current school but this makes me really anxious. Would appreciate any advise on how I even find accommodation.
The accommodation options sent by Bird College (ie Toronto / Hollywood ) are all full. Happy to be pointed to another thread!
Can’t apply until decisions have been made but gov website says 21st May to ensure it gets done in time.You can still apply, just put one of the places you’ve had an offer from and change it later if you need to, at least then you’ll be in the system. It only gets paid if the college confirm enrolment. I was advised to do this by student finance while we were waiting for audition outcomes.
Yes, I’ve just read this also based on Amf’s last post. I’m going to have DD do that so at least we have started the process. If it wasn’t for this forum, there’s no many things that I’d miss. Such a lifesaver of information here!Nic16977 wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 8:27 pmYou can still apply, just put one of the places you’ve had an offer from and change it later if you need to, at least then you’ll be in the system.

Yes I agree....knowing someone desperately wants a place and others are just sitting on them but won't be accepting is rather unfair.amo185 wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 11:08 am I don't really understand why people hold onto offers when they've made a decision either. Can understand when they are still working out funding or wanting to visit as it's a big decision. But it is a tad annoying when there is a mutual friend waiting on a possible place!
