  1. Has anyone accepted into POB's summer program received a packet or other communication?
  2. We had three schools in the states we auditioned for along with CNBS, RBS, as well as, POB. DD was accepted to all in the states & we have not heard from the Royal Ballet yet. We are considering a week or two at a school in Madrid to add to the POB 10 day program.
  3. Figure out what a fair price is and put it online @ a site that is dedicated to only selling cars lots of pictures to show you have nothing to hide. Whatever the real price is knock a few hundred off when you advertise it and don't change your price in your ad. It might take awhile but hang in there. You will have ppl contact you offering you way less, just tell the to get a rel life. To find out your cars true value take it into a dealership where it has been serviced or just a dealership for that particular make of car if you don't have it serviced at one. Have the used car manager or buyer price the car for you as if you were going to sell it to them and add 10-30% to that price and sell it yourself. Another way to find your price is to go online and see what dealerships want for a car like yours and the years ahead and behind yours and get a feel for what is on the market is in your area. Take the dealership prices and price yours a bit lower because there are plenty of buyers that don't want to work through the hassle of a dealer or just don't trust them. When you have a buyer that is interested & you arrive at your agreed upon price go to their bank, credit union or where ever and get a certified check, cashiers check or cash and only then hand over the title. I sold a car last yr like this and I even stood in line with the guy to get the check. Hope that helps!
  4. Afab, thanks for the detailed answer re RBS experience. An email response for us is great, we will just have to watch the spam folder. It would be awful to miss a opportunity because of a can of processed meat got in the way !!! Yes, we are abroad, in one of those big places just west of you guys, a continent to the left. :-) My dd is 14 and has attended SIs since the age of 11. We applied this summer to CNBS, RBS, & POB via DVD at the suggestion of the aforementioned 2 company members above. We thought the RBS & POB were rather long shots but for the $60 to ship the apps overseas we thought to give it a go. We were really surprised to get such a quick acceptance from POB and still question it. The email was a short "you got in" and then info on how to pay with an attachment giving them credit card authorization to charge us for the program. Parts of that, actually a lot of that, sounds like that email should be in the canned meat folder! Oddly, if it were a program state-side we probably wouldn't scrutinize it so much but we have not really heard of anyone else with yes answers. Phone & fax numbers match up and we have corresponded with the person listed in charge of the program via email with relatively prompt responses as most others have posted here and elsewhere. Sorry to see you received a no but at least you know early. Thanks again for your RBS info, just as Pastel posted we would love to put together the dual SI experience. We have another EU program we are looking to piggyback with POB but RBS would be an excellent choice. -balletAJ
  5. Afab, when did you get a response last year from RBS, did it really take until April or do they make offers to some and also wait list others? Thanks, much! -balletAJ
  6. Thanks, Spannerandpony. I hope I can be of use here. It was nice to find this ballet board.
  7. I'm obviously not Afab, but the way we did ours involved two company members that teach my dd. They are very familiar with her strengths, not so strong areas, looked at what the various DVD auditions were looking for and designed a "class" around the requirements. We had a couple goes at somethings and others we just shot once. One dancer helped model those little reminders and the other shot video. I got the job of editing the pieces together and burning the DVD. This was a first for us also. We applied to three programs this way. Hope that helps...for next year. :-)
  8. Hello, we received an email back on March 6th informing us that dd was accepted to the SI. We faxed back our payment info a few days ago. Has anyone received a packet or any other information other than an acceptance email?
