Dear Mums. My DD has a final audition tomorrow. She got ill after her WL (resulting in a No!) final due to what I can only assume was stress but says she wants to try for this audition. I am so conflicted. My stomach is churning. Words of wisdom and how to deal with another No.....please? 

Thank you Valentina. Sage words. And thank you for the advice regarding feedback. Have a lovely weekend.

WL waitlist is a very small list usually of only 5 children so huge congrats to those children and all of those who made it to finals- a huge achievement for all of them.

 

Yes. I absolutely agree. Huge congratulations to all 53 short listed to finals. We’ve found it a very difficult process to deal with but a bit of toughening up for us is clearly in order. But as newbies we’ll learn. These forums help enormously when one is left with so many unanswered questions and disappointment can be an isolating place. 

Hi all. Was there a waiting list also given out at this years WL final? My DD was a no but I wondered how much of a no she was?

Hello Auditioningenu and welcome to the Forum!

Thank you Jan. I look forward to being part of the forum. I have a young DD off to WL tomorrow. A dream come true for her to even set foot in the school so as long as she enjoys it that's as much as I can hope for. Hoping all the other finalists enjoy it too.

Hi auditioningenu, sometimes children who didn’t actually tick the box for white lodge but are auditioning for Mas are invited to final audition anyway if they are identified as having the potential to become a full time student. Hope that makes sense? 

Thank you very much. That makes perfect sense. As a new member of the forum I want to wish anyone's DD auditioning for the Year 7 WL finals tomorrow the very best of luck.

Can I ask if anyone has heard about 'special invites' to White Lodge finals from 'MA only' auditions? Are these common? I am a total newbie to this audition culture.

Thanks all.
