From what we have from performers admissions she can only rescind acceptance from either within 14days or if funding is unsuccessful, however in the event funding was offered for both it would become tricky. So all DDs eggs are in one basket. If anyone has any different information please do share!!☺️
-
It’s catch 22 isn’t it. Everyone who needs funding ‘has to’ hold a back up offer, whereas if everyone only held one choice initially, then the process would speed up but subsequently there would end up with some that need funding not gaining any due to not having the back up. whilst I understand the process I am equally baffled by it.
-
Oh that’s great news though to have the back up in place! DDs second choice is performers, also with BIMM so we feel she can’t accept that now which leaves her third choice of Bird who are notorious with late funding decisions. We are very much in the same boat DaDA wise. With accommodation and living expenses etc we need the assistance of the DaDA for fees. I feel the second choice option has been removed for DD in the way BIMM are doing it and it doesn’t favour the students that need Funding. For all we know, DD is bottom of NBS list and would never be able to get a DaDA, but she could be top of performers and thus miss out and end up unable to go anywhere. I’m not a fan of the transitional stage awaiting funding, as a parent it’s awful not being able to provide what your child needs and leaving them in limbo due to being unable to accept both places to see what funding is available to her.
-
Oh thank you, NBS is DDs first choice so we decided to bite the bullet and accept. Is NBS your DCs first choice?
-
Yes it’s a tricky one. It kind of goes against the order set out in the timescales info for DaDAs so I don’t know if they can hold you to it or not. I’d love if anyone has any experience/insight on this?
-
Oh we did the same and I think myself quite techie. Made the account and thought that was that until we got an email prompt that we have to fill the application in 😂

I see what you mean about the 28 days and deposit box being blank. DD accepted this morning, it popped up with something about forwarding a form but I didn’t know what it meant then it disappeared, I’m sure they will be in touch if there’s something additional required. And yes that pack of terms was a bit of a read wasn’t it!

Oh we will await the letter(email) and if there’s nothing by tomorrow I will enquire. Thank you.
-
DD has a formal offer in her BIMM portal now. She hasn’t had an email saying it’s there yet so probably get one soon, exciting as feel like things are moving 😁

We viewed Medlock yesterday, Zobia was fantastic, so friendly and helpful! She said there’s one space left in the NBS flat block B 7th floor I think she said and another flat of 4 earmarked so put us at ease over running out of space a bit, DD loved it. We then went to the NBS show which was fantastic to watch, well done to all involved.

Yes performers in Essex, yes auditioned at NBS and has a place just waiting on funding from either.
-
Yes that’s what the letter says. We unfortunately don’t come from the correct income bracket to commit to that without knowing if funding is available.
-
DD wants to go to NBS, second choice performers, she has 3 weeks to decide on performers or not but they won’t offer funding without a hard acceptance (level 6 Diploma) and it’s a firm commit to the 15k fees, DaDA or not and she doesn’t know about any funding at NBS yet either. 🤷♀️
-
It’s so tricky isn’t it, with all the different deadlines etc, DD has resigned herself to trying to adopt a what will be will be attitude, but it is easier said than done!😊
-
Thank you! DH was trying to think of solutions for DD if funding isn’t offered as she’s very set on NBS. Guess we will just have to wait it out 🙂

DH asked a question I couldn’t answer tonight so I wondered if anyone else could. If DD isn’t successful in gaining funding for the first year, is there any potential to be given funding in the second? any thoughts/ experiences?

We are going this weekend 😀

We are going to view this weekend. Is your DC attending the Easter workshop in April?
-
Unite agreed to cancel room with no charge if we could provide a letter stating funding is unsuccessful. (I am not sure we should get this so haven’t signed up) MSV said that wether or not DD has access to funding would not release her from a contact so we are just waiting now. DD has had performers official offer now with a deadline of 28 days so she’s hoping NBS are in touch soon !
-
DD is so excited, it’s a great opportunity for them all to meet before September, she will be booking on 🙂
-
Just received an email 🙂

None of the friends were interviewed 🙂

Hi DD auditioned for Performers in Essex. She got an offer on the day, about 9 of them did altogether across Diploma and Degree. DDs friends didn’t get an offer on the day, one subsequently got an offer, one got reserve and the other, a not on this occasion so I think it’s a bit of a mixed bag 🤷♀️ From what they said it was around a week and a half before they received their outcomes. sorry I realise this won’t have cleared anything up x
