Did they say it would be sent out via email on the 28th ? I thought they said they would notify us by the 28th ? X

I’m hoping they notify us earlier. I never realised I was such an impatient person 😂

I wish I’d sent mine via YouTube now so I’d know if it was viewed xx

Our elmhurst video was looked at this morning 😬 won’t be able to tell how long for, until tomorrow. it’s via you tube, but looks like they are now viewing auditions 😬🙏🏻 

Thank you. Mine was sent via google drive so I can’t check but I’m pleased to know they’ve started xx

Hopefully once the deadline passes they’ll get the results out pretty quickly xx

Having an email off Hammond and Elmhurst within an hour of each other has almost killed me 😂😂 at least we can forget about Elmhurst for a little while xx 

4 out of the 5 videos were sent using google drive and one YouTube. Is there any way of checking views on the google drive ones? Xx

Just got the email from Hammond saying 'Congratulations!',  I thought ds might have made it to finals  a bit of let down as it was just a welcome to the audition process email.

I just got that too. My heart still hasn’t calmed down 😂😂

Evening! 
Just wondering if everyone’s Tring video took ages to upload? 
Mine has been ‘uploading 1 item’ for a loooooooooong time but doesn’t actually appear to be doing anything. 
 

yes mine took a while to upload xx

Has anyone had any views for Elmhurst yet? X

I prefer an email it’s more instant 🤣

Same here 😂. I know Hammond did email last year so I’m expecting the same this year x

Do you think it’ll be a letter or an email? X 

I think this year is anyone’s guess X

Am I right in thinking they should get a letter inviting them to finals like they did last year?  Elmhurst I’m talking about 

Thats what I assume. X

My son applied for year 8 at White Lodge last year. There were so many people at finals although mostly girls. My son made it down to the final 3 but sadly did not get in. None of the boys in the final 3 made it into the school. It’s really tough to get in. It’s the most amazing experience though so I would say go and enjoy it. We have no experience of Elmhurst as didn’t apply but his associate teacher said that we should have. Good luck to everyone auditioning this year, we have decided not to do it. Best of luck 🤞 

He did so well, that’s such an achievement in itself. Xx

Interesting questions! I looked at the RBS reports from previous years, although the most recent ones don't give detailed stats. However, in 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18 there were between 496-586 WL applicants (presumably for all WL years, not just Y7 entry). Don't know if numbers have gone up in more recent times, but the odds are still very narrow! Yet more to panic about!! 😬 I would guess anyone applying for RBS would also be applying for Elmhurst and maybe also Tring and Hammond... Not sure if it's helpful to know but at least it gives us an idea how many videos they are all having to wade through right now!!

Wow, it’s a lot anyway isn’t it without doing through them one by one on a screen. Xx

Hello. From the open day I thought it was more around 400...Still a lot of applicants x 

yes still a lot. Do all the school have that many? Xx

Yep I would say thats true.....for yr 7 alone there were 3 or 4 auditions a day for first round with about 25 in a class. There were 4 first round days in Birmingham with some in London too.....then about 60 girls in the final audition. There are 14 in dds yr 7 class this year.

Oh wow thats a heck of a lot. Thank you x

Is it usually in the high hundreds (600/700) of applications that these schools get for lower school? I’ve heard that said before but wasn’t sure if it’s true. X

Wonder what they will do this time? Send them out after all videos in or send them out after closing dates.. ours was the 4th Jan but I've read of later submission dates too, will it be email or letter lol....oh the questions! 🤣🤣🤣

I was under the impression that they’d start looking from the 11th onwards and results given out 2-3 weeks from then xx

Oh gosh and me! Nearly had heart failure when that email came in! Especially as it had DCs name on it and delighted they've applied for Hammond 2021 etc etc... I thought it was the results... 🤣 Glad you manged to clarify, always good to hear it from the source, that way you know its right. Good luck to your DS Xx

I thought it was results too when I saw ds’s name 😂

Hi, 

I just got a long email from the Hammond, I think they might want more material. Not sure, did anyone else get it? I had submitted on the 2nd of January. 

Yes I got it. It’s to say they can’t extend the deadline it think xx
