Newbiemum Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Hi could someone please explain the difference between the waiting list i.e. Priority WL and SWL ? So confusing .. thank you . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseys mum Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Hi my daughter she s on the wait list. How many kind ds get on the wait liat amd has anyone heard of kids getting a place from the waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut68 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Have in past years heard various names incl Priority Wait List, Select Wait List, Directors Wait List....no idea if there was a pecking order ie. one if in I d or other meant 'higher up' than if letter said plain old wait list only..... I suspect all same just various templates used by different admin staff - not terribly transparent & led (leads? Are theses different lists out there again this year?) to wondering which list better to be on etc....it really prob was due to age/alphabetical listing & which computer station you were allocated to ie. who pressed send! Just an opinion of course....anyone know for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 No email here either. First time applying - DD will be 10 (year 5) Shame as the delay is preventing us confirming other plans. Not sure who/ how to contact. Pretty poor communication have to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreverdrivingtodance Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I at least feel a bit better knowing we are not the only ones waiting.I messaged the FB page at about 5.30pm & they said they were still sending them & if not today would be Monday.My DD Year 5 also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoglett Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I think we all accept it's a waiting game but I do think it's a bit bad when they name the actual day and it doesn't happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoglett Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 So excited ... yes for me for the first 2 weeks !!!!! (in yr 10) Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Ah Dancer123 good to know we're not alone. I hadn't told DD they were due out today thankfully. I know they are inundated, busy etc but given you pay just to apply to summer school it's a bit poor in my opinion, to not be able to keep to an already delayed outcome! Hey ho! Onwards to Monday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petit Jete Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I feel quite sad I told my DD we would hear today, everyone else at her school seems to know.I said it must be a NO but to have to go through another weekend of waiting feels awful. Not sure why they said it would be today if that was not the case  How unforgivable that they should say that ALL applicants (WL) would hear by Friday 10th of March. If they are not going to stick by it then they should not say it!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemountain Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 As I am watching this topic I must say that you guys are extremely patient! We are in US and here most of the kids are committed to their summer programs by the middle of February. The programs would not allow you to delay the answer for so long!

Viviangrace Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Hello, Can anyone who has attended before comment on the quality of the program for the White Lodge 10-12 age range?  Is it challenging, pointe work every day, etc?  Also, is the summer school used to sometimes extend offers for the year round program?  I realize there have already been year round auditions/offers - just wondering if the summer offers this possibility. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanut68 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 If they were inundated with applicants each paying £25 then by my basic grasp of economics they have enough in kitty to pay for decent email merge software/extra few hours of staffing/temp/outsource to outside communications agency etc to ensure a deadline is hit !! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahw Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Viviangrace they do make offers for the main school from SS. I can't comment on pointe work as dd never been but most in UK don't go en pointe until 11/12. It certainly isn't expected in those starting vocational school at 11...

Friends whose DD applied for a Youth Theatre programme got an email about midnight once...surely that's got to be some email programme and not a poor human being inputting all the data.

Cbenjj Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I'm just curious if the odds of getting in increase if you provide your own housing since spots in the dorm must be limited? Was there a spot to check on the application no housing needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a spot to check on the application no housing needed? It didn't increase our chances , dd could have stayed with family although not ideal travelling in everyday she would have endured it.......We , well that should say I was desperate to visit WL and would have pitched a tent in Richmond Park if needed I wasn't quite as put out when it was SWL for Floral St as dd has been many times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
