Our no was met by a shrug lol . Good luck to anyone still waiting and well done to those who got a yesxx 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixiewoo Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Out of curiosity... about 850 children audition ... how many get finals and how many places are there? Luckily DD doesn't want to go away to vocational school (currently!), so I'm just interested. I think they are all so brave to audition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyelliott Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 For RBS lower school 12 boys 12 girls roughly- they took about 50 to the finals when we tried.. It’s a very long shot ! i would imagine it’s about the same for upper school ..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all of the 850 are going for WL assuming the figures in their Annual Reports - some only audition for MAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancingWellies Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 We were told at Elmhurst for every succesful student there were at least 10 who applied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletlife4me Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Interesting it costs no extra to audition for wl so I’m sure most probably put a tick in that box anyway! Well done to you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The results email said over 850 applicants for full-time training at WL, so I guess mids-only applications take the number even higher!

Fantastic achievement to those who have finals auditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious about the numbers applying to Elmhurst for full time training. Does this mean it's around 400? There's not much information out there, not that I can find, despite looking.

DancingWellies Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Ispend828, that's the sort of number I had in mind. There seem to be around 25 to 30 in the lower year groups. It wasn't a precise figure we were given on induction, more of you've done very well to get a place as for everyone of you here today there's at least 10 who didn't was the context. It's also clear they will only take people they want as evidenced by last year's late auditions after they hadn't awarded all the MDS funding in the normal auditions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to ask if anyone knows how many make it through to finals for year 7 girls WL and Elmhurst? I think at an audition insight day for Royal they said around 30-40, but if they had record numbers of applications then this could be more... then it is roughly 12 who make it? my DD was successful for spring program and it says on there that they can still audtion on the program. Do you think we will have to wait until April to get results? wishing everyone good luck. I envy the grit and resilience these young children have to go through this all.

Last year at Royal finals they told us they had approx 1000 applicants (including international applicants) which was a record number, which is why they did the audition over 2 days for the first time, as I believe they took approx 60 to finals (and they’d normally only take about 40 I was led to believe) Elmhurst finals there was about 40 invited to finals I believe but perhaps about 35 there on the day as some had already accepted a place at Royal x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the numbers game comes into play - which at entry to (pre) professional training is not an equal one due to the self selection biases , societal overlay and all that...

Living2dance Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Just checked. Boys one day, yr 7 girls over 2 days and yr 8-11 another day so 4 days in total. Good luck everyone attending 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dd's offer was subject to her getting 5 GCSEs at A* to C. This tends to be more the case for degree courses where the academic requirements are set by the validating body.

I'm always curious when it comes down to the offers for places. If a DC was offered both Elmhurst AND RBS they obviously can't accept both, so do the schools have a reserve list? Also some maynot be able to accept their place because of the funding issue. There must be quite a jugglying act before the start of the term in Sept not just with National but also International Students. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Living2dance Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Yes, an offer of a year 7 place at RBS was turned down last year and someone of the reserve list was then offered the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember rightly, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland's offers certainly were on condition that applicants got 5 passes at GCSE; this was a couple of years ago though.

Picturesinthefirelight Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Degree places will be dependent on apssing GCSE's but diploma places at vocational schools rarely are. however by law if someone hasn't got a Grade 4 in maths & English they have to re-take. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
