I don't think anyone is suggesting it should be uk only but it should be a fair process. I don't believe anyone should be offered a definite place before the recruitment process is over. If the schools want the best students they should see everyone first. For overseas students again I don't think anyone is suggesting they should have to do 2 auditions. Their 1st audition is their DVD and if that is good enough then it's fair for them to be invited to the final audition here or in a tour of their country. I do feel that they should have the same format of audition as here to make it fair. Over the course of a week there is more opportunity to demonstrate your potential.

Mine has a call back for Elmhurst and I have heard of a few others. It is ENB and Royal Ballet that I have heard of places already been confirmed at. It just doesn't feel like a level playing field when they have a short audition to sell themselves and some overseas students are invited to spend a whole week there. Rambert were auditioning in about 6 different locations in the states recently. Even if they only took 1 from each location it leaves very few spaces for U.K. Students.

Anyone know how many Uk students are getting call backs for final auditions. Becoming increasingly concerned that all the places are being given to overseas students. Have heard of Australian students who have confirmed places before 1st round of auditions completed.
