What does anyone think the earliest is that they will contact SWL places assuming no one here has heard anything already....

I was wondering this too.. I think maybe it would be a couple of weeks until they have heard from everybody at all the centres whether they’re accepting a place or not.

We got first RBS yes after constant SWL for JA year 4, 5 and 6 and all intensives. I am in shock, but DD will be very happy 🙂. 

Wow well done to your Dd, did she make finals? What region are you? Xx 

Thank you. This is definitely for mids not JAs? It seems such a long wait when the videos went in late December! X

According to our JA teacher ( from today) she said MA results will be a long wait still... well into the summer term 

That’s not good news, I wonder why it should be different this year as usually it’s a couple of weeks after the school results. Oh well, we will hear at some point! It’s good to know it might be a while, it stops all the refreshing of emails 🤦‍♀️ Xx

It’s a painful wait isn’t it! Really hope it’ll be next week!

Yes I’m thinking mid to late next week 🤞 x

Me too! X

Would have to check to be exact but late last week I think? No she didn’t go to finals so we are not expecting to get MA’s, I was surprised it had been looked at again

She could definitely get a mids place without going to finals. It’s got to be a really good sign that the video has been looked at again. Fingers crossed. From what I’ve heard a few of the Jas from London have a place at WL so that would open up a few spaces on the London mids anyway xx

Well, we’ve had another view of our preliminary video so perhaps some decisions are being made? Or not??😂

Oh that’s interesting! When was that? Did your DC go to finals? Xx

Surely we must be getting closer to finding out MA results now feels like it’s been forever 🤣

Yes I was hoping this week but maybe we’ll have to wait until after the school zoom auditions that are on the 19th. So maybe later next week?? X

Hello 

am new to the forum & the world of dance associate programmes. My DD applied via video audition for the RBS Mid Associates this year & we were wondering if anyone has heard back or knows when we may hear a yes or no?? I know WL places have gone out so I’m hoping the mid associates will be looked at next. 
thanks 

Hi! Yes I’m let to believe that the mids results will be soon now.  This year is a little different though and they still have some candidates for the school to audition on zoom, the ones that couldn’t make it to the live finals. I’m not sure whether this will affect the mids results but let’s hope not 🤞 There’s another thread that’s talking about this also, the white lodge making a video audition thread but you may have to sift through a lot of stuff 🤣

No we didn’t - probably should have but we didn’t think of it...she got direct entry to summer school this year and also to finals (through doing the online summer intensive in 2020) so didnt really think of that as an option

They must have really liked her then. That’s amaZing to be seen on the online intensive well done to her! It’s hard for us and them when there’s so few spaces! I have heard that they can offer some places after summer school so you never know if she catches their eye again it might turn into a yes! X

We just got an email regarding year 9 entry - unfortunately my dd didnt get a place 🙁 

Keep telling myself there’s lot to look forward to with her dance school show and festivals coming up. She also got direct entry to summer school at White Lodge....hopefully meant to be 

 

good luck to everyone still waiting 

Did you also apply for MAs? X

Well done to her for getting so far. X

Not just international students auditioning on 19th xx

Oh ok! I thought it was just international. Oh well then yes it will probably be after the 19th then! 😩🤣

1 minute ago, The red shoes said:

Some were prospective year 7 students 

But wouldn’t have applied for MAs though 🤔 it’s too long a wait however long 🤣 it’s been nice knowing ‘after Easter’ as I have forgotten about it but come Tuesday I’ll be refreshing emails again 🤦‍♀️

Yes I had heard from a reliable source that zoom auditions are being held for a few boys who couldn’t make the finals & internationals on the 19th April so still a long wait for MA places 

But surely the international auditions wouldn’t effect the MA results? X

I was hoping MA results would be next week as they said after easter. I’m wishful thinking 🤣 after Easter could mean anytime until July 🤣🤦‍♀️

I’m wondering how likely it is that we’ll hear the MA results next week? Xx 

6 minutes ago, Newbie2 said:

Also in our audition letter, it said we would find out within two weeks - although my daughter did say they told her it would be end of April?

The audition letter for the year 7s said we’d hear within 2 weeks and we heard within a few days! Maybe they say a longer time scale so they don’t get people chasing them about results! I bet you’ll hear sooner than you think x

My daughter was told they wouldn’t hear until the end of April which seems a very long wait & will obviously impact on MA & SA results too 😬. 

Good luck to you both! So the MA results will probably be the end of April too then xx

Yes she is 

I think you should be fine if she got to finals x 

Just now, MrsR said:

A really long wait! 
They have been on the ball with everything so hopefully they’ll be in touch sooner than after Easter hols. 
I know there will be a big cut so have prepared for that. 

Is your DD a JA? Yes hopefully they’ll put us out of our misery sooner rather than later 🤣

23 minutes ago, MrsR said:

The wait for MA results will be hard. I know in our centre there are likely to be very few moving on due to age.

when do we think the results might be? 

They said after Easter so I’m guessing after the school is back after the Easter holidays! It’s a long wait 😩

1 minute ago, InOverOurHeads said:

also, do you think there will be any sort of final / recall for MA.  I'll be very surprised if they offer any DC a MA place without seeing them in person, but I may be wrong.  

No I don’t think there will be a recall as they’ve said results are out after Easter. I think they will decide by the videos and/or those that got to finals.

No it isn’t, that’s why Mark Annear head of Associates is on the finals audition panel, they identify who they want for MAs pretty much from the finals, and the Prelim videos. Mark Annear is also present on the panel for Prelim selection. 

All the children in my child’s Y7 MA’s happened to be finalists, previous JAs and also on Wait List. 
 

Im not saying that will always be the case, but IME it often is. There are always some children who come in from other associates , but usually via the finals.

Thanks for that info! When you say finalists, previous JAs and on waitlist, do you mean they were all three or just one of those things? Xx
